During a discussion about Prop 19 on Bill Maher's HBO show "Real Time" lastnight, Zach Galifianakis commented that people 's opposition to marijuana
legalization might be rooted in a feeling that smoking marijuana is still taboo.
He then shocked the panel and delighted the audience by pulling out a joint
and lighting up on the set.
He passed it to one of the stunned panelists, who smelled it, and seemed to
confirm that indeed was the real stuff.
Galifianakis point, presumably was to show you can smoke marijuana and
not act in a crazy manner.
Of course you can smoke Pot and not act in a crazy way. It is a mellow drug
that has so many benefits. Unlike alcohol when you drink to much you get
crazy, loud, hostile, and cannot walk. Pot is a drug that relaxes you and makes
you creative. It helps you sleep, relieves headaches and many other benefits.
Prop 19 needs to pass and it is about time that it does. We are incarcerating
so many black people and unfortunate people, because of petty amounts of
pot found on them by the police. These people are clogging jails and it is just
wasted money and time.
These petty arrests can hinder people from receiving financial aid and can
also make people lose their homes. Just because of a little pot. But the rich
and middle class get away with carrying pot all the time. The blacks and
less fortunate are main targets for the police.
We need to start concentrating on real problems and issues and not minute
things that are Not a crime. Pot has great medicinal purposes and is less
harmful than valium, oxycotin and many other drugs that have great side
effects and are very addictive.
Please go to the polls on Tuesday Nov 2 and Vote YES on Prop 19!
