"Ms. Kiefer, did you vote for that marijuana thing???"
Many of y'all non-Californians know about the proposition on our ballots yesterday that would have legalized (an ounce or less) of marijuana in limited settings (in private homes, or in designated spots for marijuana, such as cannabis clubs).
Now, I don't smoke weed. I hate the smell, I hate it when my students come in with glazed red eyes, and I hate smoking anything. Ugh, just makes me cough and gives me a headache. And I have to confess that I think stoners are kinda lame, especially when they're over the age of 17. I mean come on, dude. I have no problem with people who smoke weed occasionally (I do live in California after all), but I'm a little judgey about those whose lives revolve around the ganja.
That said, I voted for Prop 19, cause I figure, if people are gonna smoke it, we might as well regulate and tax it, cause Lord knows our state could use the money! I mean, public schools have four furlough days this year. WTF?!
But it didn't pass. In any case, I was talking to my 5th period about the issue yesterday, when GM said this:
"I was in this Big Brother Big Sister program & I had this white dude & I went through his stuff while he was in the shower, & I found some marijuana in this pill bottle up in his drawer. And he try to tell me he use it for MEDICINE, he be lyin' like hell! I took a piece of it and I gave it to my brother!"
HA! Tooooo funny. I mean, it's not legalizing marijuana in limited forms would mean that the world would come to this:
Geez.
