This Blog Post May or May Not Get You High

So how does it make any sense whatsoever that it's illegal to use marijuana recreationally, yet it's incredibly easy to just go to a clinic and get a prescription for the stuff? I recall hearing somewhere* that you can pretty much go to a marijuana clinic and have them prescribe weed for virtually any problem you might have, because the official statements on what exactly medical marijuana is supposed to do are a bit shaky. So the stuff is stupidly easy to get, and honestly, who the hell is going to know if you're going to be using it recreationally or not? What are they going to do, follow you home? And if they ask about, the most righteous thing to do, naturally, is lie.**


 So this begs the question of why exactly marijuana needs to be illegal in the first place. I've already covered the fact that this completely contradicts alcohol and cigarretes being legal, but that's just one of the problems. I mean, the types of people who use marijuana aren't exactly the type of people who give one damn about the law, and they're just going to do it anyway.*** So not only is getting it the legal way and just lying about it incredibly easy to do if you're over 18,**** and anybody under 18 just sort of ignores the law, what exactly is the point?

Unfortunately, getting this kind of legalization law passed would be almost impossible, because the type of people who smoke marijuana generally aren't the type of people who know how to vote. Or leave the house.

*Somewhere in this context meaning "from my mom:".
**This applies to most situations, except when it doesn't, which is all the time.
***Note that this does not work with every law. "People who are murderers don't care about the law, so killing people should be legal." The problem there is that people who are murderers are simply immoral or amoral, and are just afraid or getting caught. People who smoke weed just want to be able to forget that they serve grilled cow ass to screeching children at McDonald's for awhile.
****I think. Can anyone verify if this is indeed the way the clinics work?
