Legalization Frustration

I am far from perfect. I admit it. But I am seriously getting more and more frustrated with seeing things online for legalization of marijuana that #1 make no sense or #2 the spelling and grammar are so atrocious that it makes me shake my head and wonder if maybe the cause I am fighting for is worth it because these people make legalizing marijuana look like a terrible idea.

These people are either frustrated and do not read what they write before posting online or uneducated and it shows. The uneducated part I think frustrates me the most since education on and about marijuana is vital to getting it legalized. If uneducated folks start ranting and making zero sense how is that going to prove my (and several others) point about it being a safe non-toxic plant with amazing medicinal purposes? I understand there are  texts and short versions of common words, but when trying to get the word out on marijuana please, I beg of you spell check your shit.

Ignorance and Education

It amazes me how people view marijuana as this evil drug and the only people who use it are lazy fucks who don't do anything but smoke pot and play video games all day.

I may not have a college degree (I am working on that). I do have a full-time job, and not flipping burgers. I work in an office as an office manager - really it is a fancy name for secretary but it pays (some) of the bills :) And here is the kicker!!! I smoke marijuana daily. So does this mean I am a lazy stoner? Am I a lazy stoner even though I contribute to society? Am I a lazy stoner that is trying to make a change in this country? I guess when my marijuana tax dollars pay for this country to better itself we will find out how lazy of a stoner I truly am.

I speak the truth on marijuana and am trying to educate people who have believed the lies told to them about it. My family for one. They are pretty damn conservative, then there is me. Outspoken, loud, obnoxious and not conservative. If I think it, you will know. If I feel it, you will know. So discussing marijuana with them was a very scary step for me, but I have done it. And now I need to re-educate them on the truths. If marijuana were legal I am 100000000% positive my family would use it for medical purposes. But since it is not, they rely on the pills the doctors give them and I get to watch the suffering. I was on morphine for over 12 years. I was NOT a healthy individual contributing to this society. I am still - and most likely will be for a very long time - straighting out my life from those years. 

If only one person reads this and decides to do their own research on marijuana then my job is done. But my goal is to get everyone educated on the truths of marijuana and that just because you smoke it, doesn't mean all you are going to do is sit on the sofa snacking til you're fat and play video games until the day you die. There are motivated potheads like myself. And I am not as motivated as some of the Sensible Washington  or NORML people. I am a mere speck in all of this, but I will continue to get the word out. 

Alternatives...

Someone I care for very much is having back surgery today. Not sure what makes me worry more, the surgery or the recovery. I have been avoiding back surgery and saying no to it for at least 10 years if not longer. I have heard that after one you will continue to need more surgery and I have also heard the surgery sometimes makes the pain worse. That was enough for me to say no, I can make it. I was also numbed from the morphine. I really wish our government would legalize marijuana so that people could have a safe alternative to pain medications. Maybe then this person would actually try a safer medication if it was legal. I am all for modern medicine but the government and the doctors need to recognize that marijuana is a safe alternative to pills. Pills hurt more in the long run than they help in the here and now. My head is spinning because I cannot control what others choose to do and I am so worried this person might have to go through the pure hell I went through. Already the pills are making them nauseous. Marijuana would help with the nausea and the pain. Instead of taking however many pills eat a brownie, smoke a bowl or hell use THC infused soy wax on the parts that hurt and ache. I just wish people would learn and be open to the truth about marijuana. And I wish I could really express what I feel and think right now but just cannot get the words out. Grateful that my boyfriend is here to listen to me as I babble on about crap that makes no sense to him I am sure.

To a speedy and painless recovery…
