Pass the Weed!

Hello people of blogger status. So for today's post, I almost strained my brain on what today's topic I should rant about. Surely enough I've come to the conclusion that the topic of marijuana is nothing far from a fun discussion. Not because it's probably one of the easiest topics to write and editorial on, or that I may be a recreational pot smoker, but because the issue of marijuana is one that will never end. I personally believe it to be amazing that marijuana, as a sticky political issue, is never going away because of its ongoing usage. No matter what few states legalize it, this issue is probably never going to be solved unless all state legalize it. Marijuana is also going to be something that stays on this earth forever. Whether US citizens smoke it or plant it, marijuana is always going to be uncontrollably accessible and in most cases; affordable to the younger working generation. The topic itself, also allows too much time and money to be spent on deciding what should be done, when the answer is plain as day. LEGALIZE IT. Why fight a battle that can't be controlled. The government's ignorance of this issue, fails to comply with the political benefits of it. Despite all of weed's medicinal benefits, needless to say one of the primary arguments for legalizing weed has been to regulate and tax the hell out of it in a time when most states are struggling to stay in the black.  However, studies determined that the high-water mark for tax revenue would be in the initial years, because as the “wow” factor of legal weed wears off.  Users are then anticipated to decline. I argue that this is another act of ignorance on the government. Marijuana has been a recreational drug for years, and will be for years to come. Not because of users today, but because of future users. I know it sounds horrible, but little Billy may say no to drugs now, but 9 times out of 10 he will eventually become accustomed to the "high life" or be involved with other users. It's sad, but we do live in a world now where it seems like "everyone’s doing it" and everyone will at least try it once. Despite the unintentional negativity, the true benefit of weed's legalization inquires that there may be a progressives hope to lure young people to the polls. One of the biggest issues I've learned while studying for government exams is the fact that the younger generation lacks the most political participation. Marijuana may be the answer to increase this younger generation's participation in government. So to the question as to what should the government do, or if they should do anything; simple. Legalize it.

Only In Florida smh...

Whats up bloggers! Tonights post is one of those "What the hell is the world coming to" posts. So basically Florida has obtained a "stand your ground" law, making it LEGAL for individuals to use deadly force to defend themselves without any requirement to evade or retreat from a dangerous situation. In other words it is okay to shoot a police officer out of fear. Just kidding, but the story  "Florida Man Shoots Cop, Invokes Stand Your Ground", published in the Crooks and Liars blog, defiantly roots for laughter.  The only reason why I find it humorous, isn't the fact that a cop was shot, but that Florida made it legal to everyone in Florida, including cops.  It was only a matter of time that someone shot a cop. After all Florida is Americas trash can as said by Peter Griffin. Honestly, I do believe that this is an informative post everyone might get a kick out of. Unfortunately for the citizens of Florida, the question as to "how long this law will be in effect?" is still in question. One would think that after this year long case and resolution that the outcome would be enough to counterbalance the law. Then again this is Florida we're talking about, and after the Zimmerman trial something must be done about crooked cops. Go check it out and tell me what ya think.
