Back in my day a 1/2 oz would send you either to prison or to VietNam.
Back in my day they took your car and house and your kids if they caught you growing.
Now if you live in a state that allows MMJ you don't have that stuff to worrie about.
If you live were it's not then you are held to the laws of that state.
If you go out side of what is allowed in the states that allow it's use then you get arrested.
As far as the debt...I worked for 40 + years so far bought and paid for 2 houses and many cars
a couple room fulls of weed and other drugs too. Raised 2 kids and they both have good jobs.
So how do you say that?? If you want to blame some one blame the fucking 1%, and Republicans LOL!!
