Well, no, not really. Not even close. But I like the stuff and engage in recreational use of it on occasion. I don’t see how it or it’s effects are worse than alcohol, or tobacco for that matter (I’d much rather people got high than drunk, for the most part). I believe weed should be legal for whatever-the-hell-you-like use by consenting adults (no kids m’kay, same as the alcohol and tobacco rules). There’s also that whole other bag of benefits that marijuana provides to the quality of life of a great many people who deal with pain and discomfort, as results of injury or disease or whatever else, along with other medicinal uses.

That’s why I put mouth to money and donated towards the Trial of the Plant campaign on Indiegogo. It’s a crowd-funding campaign, run by the Dagga Couple (lel), that seeks to bring some fight to the marijuana legalisation effort by getting recognised experts on the topic to have their say in the, yep, Trial of the Plant over at South Africa’s High Court in Pretoria in March 2016. The Indiegogo and Dagga Couple pages will explain the details better, but it suffices to say that I’d rather like them to be successful and I feel the prohibition of marijuana is stupid.

Plant and grow and pick and dry and cure and…

I’d go further to say that growing it for personal use should be just as allowed because I’d like my weed home-grown-reliable, with no drug-dealer WTF or mass-producing tobacco-company-style chemicals, thank you…

Anyway, if you feel like I feel go donate quick ’cause there isn’t much time left on that there campaign (sorry, I didn’t want to share until I donated because that felt disingenuous and I donated late because putting money towards crowd-funding campaigns requires me to think on them a long time).
