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.
