Weed



I don't care about the medical benefits of weed, how its harmless, how it relaxes you and makes you feel better.  I don't care if it's illegal, dangerous or a gateway drug. None of that matters, none of that is relevant. Weed to me symbolizes the worse of human traits. Greed. Selfishness. Violence. The worse of human kind. Forget about the child labor or sweatshops in China that made your Nikes and videogames. Forget of the long hours and subhuman conditions third world citizens are forced to work in to make a living. Every day people are dying so you can get high. Every day a mother loses her child so you can enjoy yourself for a few minutes.  Murder. Rape. Torture.  That’s what’s getting you high.  The suffering and death of a nations people. Innocent and not so innocent blood flows down the streets.  Decapitated heads lay in city squares. Bodies melted in acid, with mothers who will never be able to bury their children.  Civilians scared to leave there homes. Why wouldn’t they?  Innocent people shot in the middle of the street and the police turns the other way.  A nations military brought to its knees by money wielding thugs. Weed isn’t a dangerous drug or a medical miracle. It’s a Pandora’s box that unleashes the worse of human kind. Evil and violence but worse. Indifference and carelessness. No one cares to ask or think about the real victims.  No one thinks about the consequences of their actions.  The moment you paid for it, before you even smoked it, before you enjoyed or harmed yourself whatever you belief may be, the damage was already done.  No it’s not a victimless crime. The victim was killed far from the scene of the crime.
