i work hard and i keep improving my self. Smoking pot does not make me any less of a person.
And somebody else said:
Wait so because I smoke and grow pot I'm not a respectable, hardworking individual with a PhD?
What you are isn't the issue, it's public perception of what you are, whether you are or not. There is a stigma associated
with cannabis use/production, whether we like it or not, whether true or not. Gateway drug, roots in hell, devil's weed,
hell, even Anslinger et al named it "marijuana" in order to promote racist discrimination against Mexicans, thus making
it an "us versus them" social paradigm.
They named it "weed, grass, pot (cuz poor ppl only have one pot to cook in), boo, dope..." ad nauseum. Half of Americans approve of
Trump and the magats, and those same ppl also approve of the Republican founded and backed DEA. Think they're
ready to be convinced that cannabis is not the least bit harmful? If I were you, and I'm not, I'm me, and I don't risk it, so
neither, in my opinion, should you. Hopefully you can buy a bag on the corner somewhere, where ever you are. The USA is about half
legalized for rec cannabis, and probably 70% legalized for med cannabis. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. If you
grow, send us pix, but remember those pix can be used as evidence. (Just sayin'.)
