It has been for my entire life that cannabis has been called the doorway to hardcore drugs. It has been the focus on the alleged "War on Drugs".The war that cost billions or more of dollars.The war that has cost many more lives to be taken in the name of drug enforcement. Over those long years, I have friends that were caught and convicted of everything from possession to felonies for possession of lots of cannabis or growing it.
Recently there is a push to legalize the cannabis industry for the general use of the public. Several states have legalized it. Canada has made it national legal with its huge producer being Aurora. Also, a prior country that would bury you under the jail for possession. There are thousands of folks who are still rotting in jail while growers kissing the assets of the politicians prosper free as a bird.
This leads to some interesting questions one should ask. Is this new government "Pot" better than the professionals in prison grew for years before this? Was the war on drugs just like the grower's posters of the 1960s? It read something like"if Big Brother can't tax it and control it they kill it. Another poster read "Uncle Sam doesn't allow competition, smoke a joint and got to prison.
So what was the still ongoing war all about anyway? Though I can honestly say I have never been interested in the use of drugs, I understand the monetary need of the growers. I know one who was the best in this area until he got arrested.
He is forever denied being anything to do with pot, Its processing or sale. He loved his chosen profession and is denied it. The laws are changing but how will it affect those who are still under the past draconian laws. This guy lives on a minimum income instead of the wages he might have made if it was legal back then. Basically driven into poverty by governmental control.
President Reagan was all in and even got his wife Nancy to just say no. Presidents since have followed suit. The war has helped the South American cartels. Cartels will simply upgrade to the harder stuff but, I would imagine they are worried about losing the pot crop to North American legal Pot growers.
I guess I will break out those old 8tracks of Cheech n Chong again. For those who remember what an 8track is. Yes, I still have my 8tracks n player somewhere in the dusty catacombs next to my RCA cartridge video player(pre Laser unit)When cannabis is all legal they will be considered groundbreaking historic figures. Long remembered as a poke in the eye to those shrinking restrictions. Loved those guys, MAN!
In the meantime, would those professional pot growers inside the walls of prisons be able to help the newbie growers? The prisons are full of the old day's weed heads who were pioneers in the dark ages of draconian law. When herbs were EEEVILLL! And the government had not figured out how to imprison the growers and tax the impounded crops for themselves.
A side note: Where do you suppose the Newbies got their expertise? Probably read it in a book? Can't tell you its a security thing weed Havta...Well you know.
Gotta make ya wonder, doesn't it...Just saying!
For those like myself who never messed with fate to do more than medications when ill,
I think that the recreation of the pot is going to cause as many problems in society as alcohol has since the first clay bowl of mead was tasted.
There are always those individuals who get addicted very easily to gambling, Drugs, ETC.
Then there are the other problems of those who abuse the use of substances and end up in the prisons with the former growers.
My friend is a very good example of the idiosyncrasies of developing societies. My friend, the former pot grower now lives a mile from where the state is going to open a multimillion-dollar greenhouse to grow, yup, You guessed it. This facility is for the growing millions of cannabis plants for"medical purposes".
This greenhouse is built with help from grants, loans n, uncle SAM, will be the size of numerous football fields. My friend is mentally devastated because his conviction is only growing pot. He loves to work with the elderly and can't even do that. Past charges denying him both jobs. A drug growing felony for life.
I have only encountered pot smoke a few times in my life because I may be the only person in the world who is allergic to its smoke. I found that out at my first youthful party which ended in a hospital visit. The Doctor Laughed at this small town boy who smelled like the party smokers around him. The nurses and doctor smelled pot on my clothes. Guess God built a safety switch in some of us to protect us from getting busted in youth.
The future is opening doors for some while slamming those doors on others. It is the way of the world as dictated by mankind. I for one see futures for those who don't feel a need to share showtime with a big hairy guy named Bubba in prison. I suggest that the market is safer by buying your cannabis in a new legal market. You won't be hassled by whoever. You won't be arrested in any state or city. The stock market now sells shares in the cannabis industry that is growing in leaps and bounds. There are numerous stocks available with many more getting on board. It's becoming what those in prison have known for years. A billion dollar industry. Folks are getting in on the ground floor of the biggest legal Drugtrain ever.
Even people who have walked the straight and narrow are getting a piece of the pie. It's legal and it's here. The stocks are rising in leaps and bounds at this stage in time. IF is an important word here, IF cannabis is legalized here in the USA nationally, the skies the limit.
For those who are interested in dealing or buying cannabis, I will tell you the exact place right now without fear from Law enforcement of any kind. The stock market with a little homework allows anyone with some cash and interest to grow rich in time while others do all the work. If your dreams were ever to become a drug lord, then this is your chance to do so.No wants or warrants, no strip search, no incarceration. You don't even have to pay enforcers or hit men. You will never have to wear bulletproof underwear to stave off rival drug lords.
Guys like my friend won't be included on the Cannabis train to riches. Politics have made your rise to legal drug kingpin more than fantasy in the movies.
So for those inclined, roll one if ya got em, light up the bong or Dubie MAN. All the works already being done. All you gotta do is invest. Then wait for the payoff. Just like in the movies
Seriously though, if you intend to partake of anything that you can get addicted to, please be responsible enough to be careful and know when you need help for the situation. You only got one chance in life. There are no retakes or resets.
Cordially your friend.
