Legalize Hemp

Not quite sure what to say about this article. It is interesting how marijuana is that kid that hangs with the bad kids, yet isn't really that bad of a kid. You know, the one that does something good every once in a while, but still is classified as a troublemaker. But why? There is a 1936 propaganda movie called Reefer Madness where it is argued that marijuana is highly addictive and causes people to commit horrible crimes. All of its false accusations about marijuana have been since proven false, yet the child is still in timeout.

Oh yeah. The article. Growing marijuana is fairly interesting and I had  no idea that these facilities were so close to Indiana. At the same time I can't believe there aren't schools all over Indiana that teach how to grow kemp. The article itself bored me in its format. It luckily is on a topic that interests me somewhat.

One thing I didn't understand was why the guy toward the end doesn't report the stealing of $15,000 in weed. That's a lot of weed! He never gives a reason why he doesn't report it. Poor guy. Still, the guy that made out with his stuff is one lucky man. It's crazy.

I think that by having these schools around, the students and those involved will discover that weed isn't that bad. We are trained as youngsters to believe hat it is bad and wrong and all of these horrible things. Why? Don't ask why, that's why. It's time we realize that marijuana, though maybe a potential crime escalator, might as well be legalized.
