i went to a rally out in Los Angeles on 4/20. It was in the shittiest area of los angeles, like deep past the Mexican area into the heart of the black area. I don't mean that in a racist way, but if you know anything about LA you know what I'm talking about, its the gangster side of town. And just those kinds of people showed up to the rally smoking weed publicly, turning it into an illegal party.
I'm a card holder, I actually smoke for my medical condition and in Los Angeles that goes a long way. Police even let you smoke in public without hassling you. But since the day I've had my card til now, I have not once abused that privilege and I only smoke in the privacy of my own home with an incense running. That's how discreet everyone should be. We cannot fight our cause while stoned. It'll just make them more right. Show them its not addictive, show them that not everyone who smokes isn't a dirty, lazy, hippie, but instead a professional, clean, well groomed hippie.
The reason this plant is still illegal is because the average person associates it with illegal things such as, stealing, cocaine, heroin, murder, rape, etc. and the only reason they associate to those things, is because they all have one thing in common. They're illegal. so the fact that it's illegal is keeping it illegal. And it's our job to disassociate marijuana from the list of illegal things. We shouldn't support kids who do it in junior high school to be cool, we shouldn't support rappers and gangsters who smoke it and treat it taboo, we shouldn't support junkies that just want to get high off anything, we need class and prestige. I can't convince those other people to not smoke marijuana, but we can all just treat it with a little more respect and start speaking more highly of it (no pun intended). We don't inhale aerosal if we're out of weed, We don't steal money to buy more, we don't get high and sit home all our life and not accomplish anything.
I personally think the first thing to do is to find a way to pass a law that will not allow rehab centers to admit patients who only smoke weed. That only furthers the stereotype that it should be considered a drug. It's not addictive. We know this through science. Rehab centers just want your money so they deceive you. Anybody following me?

I don't mean just a march, Laguna beach just outlawed medical dispensaries. They are having a city counsel meeting in September to vote for it. These are the things we need to show up to and voice our opinions. This law just passed 5 - 0. Zero people on our side. If we can go and make a reasonable argument and change one person's mind, even just one, then we've made a difference.

Lucas said: How is sitting in your house smoking with a Innocent making it more classy and prestigious? If anything it makes it seem worse because your afraid to do it openly, even though your in a situation where you can.
That's all you took away from what I said? Who's side are you on?
