Weed Prohibition 2017

As I ponder moving back to Kentucky in the foreseeable future, I worry about the legality behind cannabis. Why is it so bad? Why is it any different or even worse than alcohol. There's no such thing as cannabis poisoning, but you can get alcohol poisoning. Driving drunk vs driving high can mean all the difference if you survive on the road while driving under the influence. Of course, its NEVER ok to drive under the influence, most marijuana smokers will tell you that it does not effect their driving, or at least compared to that of driving drunk.

...

Both are bad, this is just an example of the lesser of 2 evils. 

But please lets keep talking about the differences, yet why Marijuana is still illegal. When I am not feeling balanced with having bipolar disorder, what is better for me? A beer? Or a joint? Bottom line is that its my body and my decision to choose that I want to medicate myself with marijuana because it makes me happy. It lifts my soul into a place of contentment, and that should absolutely be my right if it shows no more harmful than other LEGAL products that don't have any considerable benefits such as marijuana has.

Someone had to fucking say it
