I am not sure weather to laugh, cry or consider it as an option. I went to the local store by wear I live last night and like with everywhere else, they were complaining about the economy. Everyone seemed to have their opinion about how to fix it, but then the youngest of the bunch (18-21), jumps in to say he has the solution. Since he was sporting his version of "hood attire" from his local "wannabe" store in suburbia, it took me a minute to get my mind prepared for what he was about to say. I thought, "you need to pay attention, he may have a really good idea and today's youth is tomorrows leaders" so I listened attentively. Then he blurts, "the way to fix this economy is to legalize weed, things would be better, more jobs for the people that need to grow it and sell it, etc..." Completely shocked and utterly disappointed, before I could even give it some real thought I said "Perfect and then we could get weed trucks like the ice cream trucks and deliver it to neighbor hoods at certain times of the day playing Snoop Dog over the PA system." Although I was be totally sarcastic, he though it was a great idea, make it easily accessible. So now i am sitting here thinking, could this be an idea. I have always been against making any drugs legal, but who knows, maybe I am just not as liberal as I thought. A lot of people really we should legalize weed. What do you think?
Sidebar: If thats the ideas rolling around in the heads of our youth, I am still a little concerned.
