The recreational use of marijuana has been glamorized over the years by such on-screen duos as Cheech & Chong and Harold & Kumar, but is the drug everything that Hollywood makes it out to be? Then again, are we being hypocritical by allowing alcohol consumption but not cannabis usage? With passionate believers on both sides of the argument, it will be interesting to see what happens when the smoke clears.

It's really sad...
I'm baffled by the government's need to waste resources making criminals out of pot smokers, then point the figure at the pot. It's the game of politics I guess. Shrug off the blame for your own failures, and blame it on something out of your control, then blindly continue making the same wasteful mistakes. The public is catching on though. In the day of the Internet Age, it's allot more difficult to hide the facts. Don't be discouraged though. Our government, even with all it's problems, eventually has to wake up. It's going to take the people though, and that means contacting your congressional reps and lobbying them for support of ending the causalties that our current Marijuana drug policy produces. Take action, do your part. It takes every little brick to build a skyscraper. Be a brick.
