Whether You Voted Yes For Weed Or Not, People Are Still Going To Do It

Think about it this way, weed has been around for hundreds of years being smoked or consumed in one way or another. Weed, unlike most other drugs, is a natural substance if grown and picked and not laced with anything.

Whether you call it weed, kush, marijuana, mary jane, pot, grass, ganja, dope, herb, cannabis, reefer, buds, stinkweed, nuggets, chronic, 420, tobacco, hay, robe, gangster, skunk, boom, blaze, doobey, ashes, block, boo, broccoli, burrito, or burnie, it is still going to be around.

Over the past 21 years of my life I have been around said substance for about 80% of my life and no I am not a regular user of it, or even a user of it at all. It just pops up around me and its not something I have ever personally had an issue with.

What people do is their own business and what people don't do is also their own business so regardless of if it is done or not shouldn't affect you or anyone else you care about. Life is going to happen around us and I don't have time to care about what others are doing when they have free time.

The stigma that comes along with the idea of weed is not necessarily a good one, of course smoking weed is going to increase your hunger, alter your mind/vision/taste/audio, give you some red eyes, a dry mouth, disorientation and a slower reaction time BUT that is not the only thing it is.

For years people I know personally have used said substance to help them along in their life whether it be for depression, anxiety, sleeping disorders, muscle spasms, chronic pain, epilepsy, cancer, seizures, tremors, PTSD, and strokes. This drug, though illegal, has been legalized medicinally and is another reason why its always going to be around.

There have been so many cases of people within the United States that have been arrested, gotten tickets, or be sentenced to life in prison simply because they had some sort of weed on them. People, weed is NOT black tar heroin. Unlike most other drugs marijuana has many health benefits previously stated and yes it can be addictive regardless of what people think it is far less harmful to the earth and to people in general.

Government officials, police, SWAT and everyone else in between have been taught that this drug is bad and that we need to get rid of it immediately but the reality of it all is that it is not going away any time soon. Regardless of your viewpoint and if you decided yes weed is good or no weed is bad the stuff isn't going to just disappear into thin air because it's not legal.

So, if you wanna smoke a doobey and get high as fuck, go for it. If you'd rather just get high off life and breath in some fresh air, great. Just don't expect everyone to have the same view as you all the time and respect others opinion because regardless it's gonna happen and people are going to do it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
