Are We Hurting Our Own Cause?

I'm talking about legalization.

My husband and I were discussing it earlier today, and he said something about how great it would be if Texas changed their laws just like 14 other U.S. States already have. While that would be awesome, the goal in my mind is for the medicinal and recreational use of marijuana to be legal in all of the United States.

He worries that if it is legalized across the U.S., that corporations will take over. Pharmaceutical companies could put their TONS of money into research and development, create new medications yielding some of the most beneficial effects of marijuana, and make it really expensive for medical consumers. I'm not going to say it isn't a possibility - it is, especially if it's only legal for medicinal use. Alternately, cigarette companies could manufacture marijuana cigarettes and make a killing. After all, how easy would it be to buy a pack of pre-rolled joints? 

Even if pharmaceutical companies developed some magic pill, I could still grow in my own house - right? And if cigarette companies made pre-rolled joints, I think I would still prefer to hit a bong. I think many other smokers would want the same. But that's just my hope, I guess. 

The reason that all of this concerns him is that if it's legalized in Texas, we are planning to open a dispensary. That, of course, means we'd be making some money... So his fear of big corporations taking over is his reason for wanting legalization to be limited... because if they take over, we won't make the money we would probably make if they don't want anything to do with it.

I was shocked to find that he held these views, and it opened my eyes to the fact that there are likely tons of people who use, produce and sell marijuana and related products that are against legalization. Breeders, growers, dealers, grow shop owners, head shop owners, all kinds of people stand to lose a lot of money if corporations want to delve into this. So now, I wonder if we're hurting our own cause for fear of losing out on monetary gain.

But what about this: we live in America, land of the free. This is a totally non-harmful, even helpful substance, and if we get caught with it - our lives can quickly be ruined. There is no relevant reason for marijuana to be illegal, and yet it is. If it were legal, our country would be in a much better situation right now. I would be in a much better situation right now.

I think we're making great progress, though. Hopefully I'm right!

My 4/20 Sucked :(

In the very beginning hours of 4/20 my husband and I were waiting at the 24 hour animal hospital - our chihuahua was sick and we were concerned that she might be dying... The vet said she probably had parvo... We did everything the vet told us to do, but she died just before midnight.

Other things added to the terribleness of this day, but Coco dying was definitely the worst. :'(

Google Image "Hairy Bud"

So, for obvious reasons, I was searching for pictures of "hairy bud." Not satisfied with the first few pages, I continued - until I found this:

And I figured that if I had to see that, so should you!

Good Things Happening

I haven't posted anything in the last few days. That's because we're out of smoke. Need to buy some more, but with Easter weekend and all it's been hard to get a hold of the person that usually hooks me up.

A magical thing just happened, though. Yes, a magical thing indeed. Ms. Blaze just found some shake... Aw, yeah!!

Damn having to share.
