Dec. 28th, 2005 03:09 amI discovered today that, as of 2003, there were seven people in the US who get federal medical marijuana. Federal. Because there was a program, which began in the late seventies and was torpedoed under George Bush I. Apparently, it only ever enrolled about thirty people at a time, being politically awkward. But seven people still get Federal dope for life.
I don't wish I was one of the seven people getting Federal ganj. Because those people had to prove to the satisfaction of the Federal government that they were really fucking sick, and really needed the stuff for medical purposes. I *do* wish the Feds would airmail me coffee cans full of perfectly legal marijuana, though. Because sobriety sucks.
For those of you who happen to be very much against drugs, you've got a point. But I never met a human being who didn't do *something*- drink booze, run fast, hold their breath- to spoof their neurochemistry every once in a while. Maybe getting high is something we shouldn't do, but we do it.
Since the dawn of time, humanity has struggled to escape the chains of sobriety. And, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to raise a glass and pray for seven miraculous remissions, none of which are reported. :)
