Why even worry? I'm more concerned with the 2012 nutters and crazed terrorists running around cutting off heads or blowing themselves up because they're all hard up for a drink. Or my finances being drained because some greedy bankers decide to invest it all in speculations. With all this shit going on out there, it seems we're being force fed fear ideology. I for one, don't buy into it all, yet when I've had a bad day or merely want to open up my mind a bit, I'll ingest a natural green herb, just as people have for thousands of years, because it makes me feel better, I don't need anyone's permission, it's my body and no one's business except my own free will.
Or maybe I'll eat a ripe sweet tomato in which I grew. Or smell some fragrant flowers, or take a walk in the grass in barefoot. Or smile at my dog rolling around in the dirt. Or laugh at some foul-mouthed comedian telling rude and dirty jokes. Or make love to my wife in our bed, which is in our bedroom, behind closed doors. Or perhaps I'll toss the bible into the fireplace or disagree with a politician.
Free will. As long as it's not hurting anyone else. It's MY life. MY breath. MY blood pumping through MY veins. MY thoughts in MY brain. No one, no priest, no Mula, no cop or politician, no scientist or teacher, will tell me how to live MY own life. Or what I can and cannot consume or think or write about or feel.
Whether marijuana is deemed legal by the state or unlawful, doesn't change the fact that I will continue to use it as an elixer of feeling good or a cure for an ailment. I know what it provides me, and when to draw the line. Same goes for anything, just that I don't need a piece of paper regulating or shackling me in cuffs because I choose to ingest a substance into MY body.
In some states oral sex is illegal. How do they police that? In some countries a woman is stoned to death because she feels love for another. In some countries baby girls are killed because they were born the wrong sex. There is no fine line here. Incarcerating someone for using a natural substance is not far from chopping off a hand for taking an apple. We live in an out-dated world where nothing really has changed except for technology and fashion. Our society is built upon plenty of ideals but also many false ideologies. And we're ruled by an ever increasing power structure where rules seem to divide those who make rules and those who are ruled. Toss into that mix the guilt of shame and the guilt of being poor and you have a huge chasm right down the middle.
Time for a beer. Or a nice juicy steak. Or perhaps I'll stoke up the vapourizer and relax. Maybe I'll burp or get mad cow or burn my finger. MY choice.
