Today’s weed is not the weed of your youth. Today the concentrate THC levels are much higher then the dime bages you purchased at the Delta House at college… just a thought.
Sorry about your friend, children of successful people some times don’t make it due to the inability to meet expectations, and it is sad.
True! A friend gave me a hit from a vape pen thingie and I swear I got lost three blocks from my condo. As for Kinger, he was never in control of his life. The drugs made it much much worse.
Coming from a family of drug addicts, the whole idea of legalizing any drugs is totally repellent. My buddy Chuck, the philosopher, used to say: “the worst thing about the hippies is that they made drug use normal.” He was a hard-core beatnik and intellectual, and saw how marijuana and other so-called soft drugs would eventually destroy society. This is exemplified recently, here in Oregon, when street drugs were legalized and immediately the use of fentanyl went up 380%. The liberal government in Salem realized it was a bad idea and had to repeal the law. As far as marijuana, we have several friends who were dealers for years, and the legal market destroyed the illegal market. Even worse, there are still illegal dealers because they don’t want to pay taxes. So now you have the worst of both worlds here in Oregon: illegal pot AND legal pot being sold, to both teens and adults. And as one of the other readers mentioned, marijuana nowadays is 1000 times more powerful in the stuff we tried back in the 60s. As Chuck once said, “we gave up on God and made drugs our God instead”. There are a lot of reasons to complain about Muslims in America, but one thing I like about the Islamic religion is that it is opposed to drug use and promiscuity, and has zero tolerance of the vices that are considered acceptable by your average American. Maybe Cat Stevens was right when he converted?
And yes, I’m aware of the fact that there are some Muslims who don’t follow their religion, just like there are some Mormons and some Jews, who don’t practice their faith. That said, over the years I’ve met many many Muslims and most of them are fairly devout. None were perfect human beings, but all of them had read the Quran, prayed six times a day towards Mecca, and attempted to be honest in business and in their personal lives this is just my personal experience from living in Santa Barbara, where they used to be a large Muslim population at one time.
