In the USA, everyone talks of "medical marijuana."
Of course, cannabis has medicinal properties, known to ayurveds for millennia.
It is good for improving the appetites of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
It is good for treating glaucoma too.
But why can't normal healthy people enjoy a "decent smoke"?
Why should cannabis be legalized only for sick people?
I look at the issue like this: You are not allowed to smoke marijuana because you are healthy. You smoke tobacco instead. You get cancer. So when you are dying, they let you have your last wish - a decent smoke.
Medical marijuana is thus like granting a prisoner headed for the gallows his last smoke.
It is as absurd as all other American attitudes to ganja.
Like their former president saying "I smoked marijuana but I did not inhale."
So I repeat my very Indian attitude (thanks to some good Jamaicans):
Legalize It: I'll Advertise It."
Boom Shankar!
What a hilarious way to put it. It is so True and yet so sad.
ReplyDeletei like what you said, makes sense. Smoking marijuana is stress relieving and refreshing. And it deinitly gives temporary happiness. It is indeed a prisoners last smoke...the best a prisoner can do...before a good bye.
