Get Paid to Rock the Gange

I find this story, located in the weird news section of msn.com, hilarious. I am not a pot smoker; however, I do not have a problem with people who do smoke – albeit illegal, but the consequences of that is on those who smoke it.

Anyhoo, I am having a hard time believing that this alternative newspaper is actually interviewing for someone to review the different types of marijuana. Someone is going to be paid to get high and then write about it. What a job! I can see some of you stereotypical young college students getting all excited about it now.

However, there are certain qualifications you must meet. The number one being that you must have a prescription for medical marijuana. The second, I would suppose, is that you would have to live in a state where this is considered legal.

This position will require travel, because not only do they want a critique of the marijuana, a review of the store where it is purchased is also on the to-do list. I can see it now: I have my script in my back pocket. My money and my i.d. in my front pocket. The back seat of my car loaded down with a cooler of Coca-cola, a bazillion bags of original Doritos, a pillow and a blanket.

I walk into the dispensary, toss down my script and get the high dollar honey-whatever-whatever. Sit down, light up and commence to get high on legal marijuana, in public. Then go to my car, have a Coke (and a smile!) eat a bag of Doritos and take a long drug induced nap.

I personally think that if it going to be legal at all, it should be completely legal, no prescription necessary. It, in my humble opinion, is less harmful to people in general than say getting intoxicated. Drinking and driving will get you (or someone else) killed. Smoking pot and driving, well, that just draws a lot of attention to you because you drive to slow and when you stop to get out – you stink to the heavens of what you have been smoking. Drinking and karaoke-ing, you think you sing better when you’re drunk and all you do is sing louder. Smoking and karaoke-ing, well, you just stand there and laugh at your dumba@@ self for even getting up to try it. When you drink too much, you pass out and wake up with a hangover. When you smoke too much, you fall into a deep deep sleep, and wake up with no ill effects.

I am just saying. In addition, I would like to say that I do not partake, but I do condone. I have a hard time believing that any herb, freely grown by Mother Nature should be made illegal by any government. However, there are other drugs that are derived from things that originally come from Mother Nature that have been mutilated and changed that should forever remain illegal. As well as those chemical concoctions, that druggies have come up with that can kill you with the first use.
