This came up at dinner this evening when someone asked why it was so hard to get good weed in Thailand.
When I say that Thais are natural stoners, I mean it in a good way. They are laid back, like to smile, and don't sweat the small stuff...natural stoners. They are already chilled out. I know that's not the reason why they don't legalize it, but I got into this dramatic monologue about how alcohol is worse than weed. If one should get legalized over the other, throw someone in jail for drinking and not for lighting up (of course I had a couple of beers by this point).
Stoners don't get in bar fights...the worst they would do is eat too much pizza that night or play too many video games. Driving under the influence? Stoners can't be bothered. Go rioting through the city because your team lost (or won) a big match? Stoner says, "can't we all just get along, man?"
The world needs a good collective puff of weed. And don't bring up that gateway drug malarky. Alcohol is by far worse than weed.
Should this have been a journal, or is there anyone out there who disagrees with me?
