Over the last 6 months, there has been an increasing interest in the subject of marijuana to some of the most popular american news sources.
There have been several documentaries and power lunch discussions, and now they are even airing a pro-pot commercial by NORML!
You may have noticed as i sure have, that the "non-smoking" public have been opened up, educated, and updated, to how the world of weed really is vs. how they (LEO) want you think it is. Most of my relatives and people i know, know that i smoke, and they know that i know my shit about it lol. They never judged me for it, but it never really came up in conversation much since it was a given. Over the last six months i get people come up to me all the time now and start telling me facts that they learned from these telecasts. And start asking me questions. LIKE......
"I thought pot was a drug, not a flower on a plant...? i was so dumb."
My answer... You werent dumb, just mis-informed.
" I heard theres this place in norcal called the emerald something, and you can legally grow weed there"
My answer... Yes there is, and its known as the emerald triangle, but you can do the same in any part of california plus any of the 13 other MMJ states. It can only be grown for medical purposes as of now though.
I can go on and on, but those are some of the same Q's i have gotten from different people.
Its sad to think how uneducated people were/are on this. Ever heard "dont judge a book by its cover"? Well if your uninformed about marijuana and have a negative attitude towards it, you are judjing this book by its cover people!! Its not your fault, you have been fed lies and brainwashed to think the way you do about it. If your gonna have an honest solid opinion about pot, then i suggest you better know the whole story and do the research beforehand. What the law tells you is completley BIASED!! You gotta look at both sides of an issue before you can come to your own conclusion, or else you could just be supporting someone else's beliefs, and not your own.
This could be wishful thinking, but i would think that since the government has such big hand in the "what where and how" news stories are laid out, that they are secretly trying to get people informed and used to the new image of pot, so that they can legalize and tax it to fix the economical state, since the war on drugs is doing the exact opposite. Think about it, if they didnt give pot a good rep first, and then legalized it, lots of people would be pissed cuz they think its a DRUG, and that our nation would now purposly harbors drugs! But now that they are seeing over the other side of the fence, the beautiful flowers that are there arent so scary anymore....
Well this thread is open for any discussion pertaining to the recent news boost of marijuana.
