Jun. 7th, 2005 02:11 amA conversation that recently took place between my scheming roommate and I.
Me: So what do you think of the medicinal marijuana business?
Roomy: I don’t agree with it. In fact, I think marijuana should be legalized for general consumption.
Me: Really?
Roomy: Yeah, dude. I look at it this way. Every argument that can made for why alcohol is legal can be made for marijuana. Heck, driving while high isn’t any worse for you than driving drunk.
Me: I don’t know, I ‘ve heard…
Roomy: Dude, just tell me what you think, not what you’ve heard or read.
Me: Okay, I think that may lead to a slippery slope. If you legalize marijuana, where do you stop? Cocaine? Heroin?
Roomy: No, dude, you only take crack or heroin at the end of the road, when nothing else can get you high. Marijuana, on the other hand, has been proven to relieve pain.
Me: Hmmm, reminds me of those one book on cocaine…
Roomy: You’re doing it again!
