Five Times August’s Brad Skistimas weighed in on the accelerating marijuana legalization debate on his blog at MySpace on Sunday (March 8) as California explores the topic due to the worldwide economic crisis. Skistimas writes:
Look, I know the economy is bad. I’m a musician for crying out loud! You think I’m making money right now?! Ha, guess what? I wish music was in prohibition right now, maybe then people would actually buy it! I be dealin’ ma tunes like they be weed baby!
Anyway, the point is that times are obviously tough right now. Can we at least keep some of our values while we try to dig ourselves out of this hole? Or, is it that every time we get into a financial jam we decide to break our own laws? I mean, we did it with alcohol to get us out of the depression in the early 30’s and hey, it worked! Now California can do it with marijuana. Then other states can legalize it when they go bankrupt too! Then once weed is legal everywhere and we get ourselves in another financial bind down the road I guess we could fully legalize prostitution. Then I guess after prostitution we could legalize crack and cocaine, maybe LSD, then maybe heroin the time after that…
Get my drift?
