So yesterday was nationwide US voting day. As I normally do, I went in to my local township voting center to fill out a ballet. However, I was very conflicted on one choice in particular: whether cannabis (weed) should be allowed for medical purposes. Despite my contempt for drug usage, I actually voted "yes" to legalize it for this purpose, since I know that the war on drugs has had a catastrophic effect on Latin America and South America. Additionally, I've heard many argue that the only reason people abuse more dangerous drugs like cocaine and meth is because weed is illegal.
On top of that, I am a supporter of hemp (AKA the non-psychoactive parts of cannabis) products. It's a very versatile & sustainable crop in comparison to corn, wheat and others, and from what I understand hemp doesn't require the use of pesticides to prevent insect damage, making it less harmful for the environment.
Do you guys think I made the right choice in regards to that issue?

They've been talking about it over here. Personally, I think legalising recreational drugs are just another way of keeping the masses dumbed out and decadent. However, I'm all for using an extract for medical purposes. I'm also fully for hemp, because you can make paper with it! But the industry is bigger over there than over here. Oh, speaking of which...

It's the same choice I would've made, so it must be the right one.

I always voted in favor of the legalization of it simply because a lot of unfairness goes around punishing kids when it is illegal.
However I hate the smell of it, it smells like poverty, and laziness, and it is also a lame way to get laid, not to mention how kids loose motivation in life, and end up homeless as a consequence. It can also lead to worse drugs that would straight up fuck up people's life.
I have tried more than a few times, but all the negatives I relate to it make me think it is a waste of time, and money. People need to learn to chill, and to be happy without needing drugs.
I was high on Norcos for a whole week after my operation, and if a cop would have stopped me I would have had a DUI, even if it was for medical reasons, I felt dizzy driving because I didn't know about the effects, so I didn't drive after that until the effects were gone. Any kind of substance that makes you high can have the same effects when you drive and you can put yourself and others in danger.
