Marijuana is
legal for anyone over 21 to use in the State of Oregon. Oregonians have made
more freedoms for themselves than most of the other 49 states.
----------------------------------------------------------
In 1970, in
New York, we'd sit around cross-legged on the floor listening to The Moody
Blues, Cream, The Yard Birds, and Pink Floyd telling ourselves pot would be
legal soon as we passed a joint around the circle. I had a cat who would follow the joint around
the circle and want the smoke to be blown in his face. Yes that is a true
anecdote.
Of course
marijuana wasn't made legal, thanks to Nelson Rockefeller, Richard Nixon and
their co-conspirators against this freedom. Of course a complicit and
brainwashed American public making decisions based on untruths from the mouths
of authority figures aided and abetted those nere do wells. Authority should
always be questioned, don't forget that.
It is interesting
to note that my generation, the baby boomers, have finally stood up for their
rights as created beings on a planet produced to take care of them. The article in the link at the top of the page reveals the
following about my generation.
"The
image of marijuana-using seniors might seem strange, but it is the byproduct of
a graying counterculture. Much of the baby boom generation was in college
during the 1960s and 70s, and have had much more familiarity with the drug than
previous generations."
"In
Colorado, since legalization, many dispensaries have seen the largest portion
of sales going to baby boomers and people of retirement age,” West said.
The folks at
the sales counters agree: Their clientele has proven to be surprisingly
mature."
"Our
demographic is not punk kids,” added Karl Keich, founder of Seattle Medical
Marijuana Association, a collective garden in Washington State. “About half of
the people coming into our shop are seniors. It’s a place where your mother or
grandmother can come in and feel safe."
Marijuana is
a wonderful safe product. It is an
intoxicant, a medicine, a respite from a hard day at work and much, much more. You should not find yourself in
jeopardy of losing your job or going to jail or having to pay a fine for using
what God made and subsequently declared good.
It is an
socially compelling portent that the figures show so many seniors trekking to
the states where marijuana is legal and where they will end their days.
I came
across a remarkable product out here called BHO (butane hash oil) commonly
known as 'dabs'. Believe me like the old hair care product jingle from the
1950's advertisements proclaimed, 'a little dab will do ya'. It provides almost instant relief from what
ails you from pain to depression and many things in between. Pain and depression are conditions seniors
regularly experience on their trek to the grave. In Oregon we have the freedom
to choose whether or not to toke, we can even choose how and when to die. It's
nice God thought to make marijuana for us old folks. And he was right, it is
good.
You can
seize that freedom in your state too. Stand up for your rights! Power to the People.
