As a child of the 60s/70s, I can attest to the growth and acceptance of pot, which was less potent in those days but still nice. It didn't take me long to realize that hanging around a bonfire with a bunch of stoned happy people was FAR LESS LIKELY to result in a burning, rowdy, killer-take-all brawl by the drunks.
The old joke is true: "A drunk driver blows through the Stop sign. A stoned driver stops and waits for it to turn green."
I learned early on, too, that you can't legislate behavior. If you want to change it, you have to address the demand side of that old darned Economic Equation. An old thesis of mine, actually, lol. Anyway....
Love seeing that minds are opening regarding THIS type of choice. Prohibition proved the truth of the Supply/Demand model.
Capitalism works for all who are willing to work. JMO.
I'm a child of this time too. I didn't smoke back in the day. Friends say I was a goodie two shoes but in my 60s I am a daily smoker. I have a ton of health issues that cause me pain. My homeopathic Dr had me on the highest legal script for gabapentin. I slured my words and forgot conversations so searched for a more natural solution. I buy from a backyard grower rather than a pot shop. You never know whats in that. Tried gummies and I can't afford them.
I have a cousin who is a hippie in the truest sense. She is fighting leukemia with pot.
Capitalism works in the drug trade too!
