Things That Make You Go : Ugh! Volume 6

There is one thing I don't understand about the way society works. You can get arrested and thrown into jail, and get your rights taken away from you for either having or lighting up a joint but you can get cigarettes over the counter like over priced candy. Even though marijuana has been used to treat medical patients with a wide range of illnesses, it is still illegal -- even though you can probably think of at least five people off the top of your head that have easy access to it. Maybe this is just an old debate that just won't die. Rationally speaking, cigarette smokers, who are doing nearly as much damage to the health of others with second hand smoke and get held accountable for shortening the lifespans of others and as much grief marijuana users. Fair is fair. Right? But profit has always been able to speak louder than fairness these days.
