The Future Of Marijuana Legalization — Another Jason Silva Sunday

The Future Of Marijuana Legalization — Another Jason Silva Sunday

Hey Guys,
How do you feel about this?

What? Me?

Well, I haven’t had any since it started giving me anxiety attacks in the ’80’s, but up until that point I smoked a joint everyday for years.

When I did, it felt no more harmful to me than a glass of wine — except for the fact that I ate everything that wasn’t nailed down, and could sit for HOURS listening to music on headphones.
But let’s also take into account that I was in my twenties and it was the 70’s and 80’s.

No harm, no foul I guess, and when it stopped being fun or feeling good — I quit.

So is it addictive? Not in my opinion.

Is it a gateway to harder drugs?
I’ve heard stories that say yes it is, my experience is that I’ve known tons of people who smoke pot where that has not been the case.

Is it the gateway to slacker-ville?
Again, I’m always surprised when a highly ambitious, super achiever, mover and shaker lights up a joint at a party — hardly the “Spicoli” slacker profile.
We’ve been offered some by a multi-billionaire and a burned out, fifty year old surf bum…so I’m gonna say it depends on the person.

Should it be illegal? I don’t think so.

To each his own I always say.

Do you agree with Jason? Or me? Weigh in you guys.

Carry on & Happy Sunday!

    Thanks for another great Jason observation.
    Cognitive Freedom (a step-sister to Expansive Awareness) has been a favorite mantra of mine for years.
    It reminds me of the only A+ I ever got in Theology class (any class really!) where I defined freedom as:
    “Freedom is not doing what you want but wanting what you do!”

      Thanks so much Dominator for another great comment. I can’t even imagine you in theology class, you must have kept that instructor on his/her toes!
