According to a recent Gallup Poll (done between July 8th and 12th of a random national sample of 1,009 adults, with a margin of error of 6 points) nearly half (44%) of Americans now admit to having tried marijuana at some point in their lives. Personally, I think it may even be slightly higher than that. Some people simply won't admit to having broke the law, even if they are assured their answer will be held secret.
But even if we just accept the 44% figure, that's a pretty hefty portion of the population. And those people will know that marijuana is not the dangerous drug the government has claimed it is. This helps to explain why the movement to legalize marijuana (and tax it) is growing fast. These people know there is no legitimate reason for marijuana to be illegal.
I am very disappointed in the Catholics. They have confession! They can do whatever they want all week long, pop in the booth, grab the cracker, and the world is new. What is the point of being a Catholic if you aren't going to exploit its advantages?!
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm saying drug use is a sin. But I figure when you're a Christian, everything is a sin.
Sorry Frank but the buyBull says gawd gave all the use of all plants & animals. The "sin" of drugs is a political invention to allow police and politicians to make lots of money. Also they are supported by smoking and alcohol companies who know that using marryWanna will cut down on the others profits. Also religions are against it because it reduces the control they have over their sheep. The whole 'drug war' thing is a BS pile of nonsense as shown by most every other country that has legal drugs.
