The legalization of medical marijuana is still fairly new in America, as a few states have actually allowed it. Medical marijuana is (for obvious insurance reasons) more expensive than its illegal counterparts, and difficult to acquire. Different types of medicinal are supposedly tailored to individual medical and psychological issues, so unless one is prescribed it is not encouraged to smoke medicinal. I had a connect from California through which I received medicinal and it was just so disappointing compared to the recreational bud that I continue to enjoy. Anyhow, let me focus again on the purpose of this post. I DON'T WANT RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA TO BE LEGALIZED. Crazy, I know. I think about marijuana being mainstream and it doesn't appeal to me. Yes, I think it would be cool to smoke a blunt outside in the cool mountain air without having to worry about going to jail. But I also like that not everyone is publicly smoking just for the fact that others can see them, if that makes sense. Smoking marijuana is done behind closed doors, and with people you trust and enjoy hanging out with, and that's how I like it. Contrary to some adult belief, not every teenager/college student/early 20 year old smokes pot. There are LOTS of people my age (19) who are completely repulsed by the idea and assume that anyone who partakes is unresponsible and immature. It's not the act that makes someone immature or mature, it's the individual and how they let marijuana affect them. It is possible to be a chronic and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle while also taking care of school responsibilities.
