Marijuana Legalization In Ohio: The Good News and the Bad News


The good news is ...

Marijuana is STILL illegal in Ohio.

The bad news is ...

Marijuana is STILL illegal in Ohio.

Look ... I'm all for the DECRIMINALISING of weed. The laws are stupid. There are too many people in jail who shouldn't be. The present situation hardly protects anyone. And it short circuits natural selection.

But Legalize!?

Issue 3, if it had become part of the Ohio constitution, was a bad deal.

It would have made for even more stupid law. Folks in jail would have still had to fill out sentences. It would have increased the size, reach and expense of government. And it would have granted, TO A SELECT FEW, the green light to operate "plantations" for the growing of weed thus creating a tax funded, government approved monopoly.

Someone was going to come out ahead but it wasn't going to be the taxpayer and/or necessarily the smoker.

It was a bad deal all around.

It Was the Darn Glue!

Ah ... yes ... contact highs!

It Was the Darn Glue!

For years ... when I was much younger, I built plastic model kits. LOTS of 'em. Cars, planes, military, science fiction, Aurora monster kits, etc, I was into all of it. Wasn't very good at it but build them I did.

When I was actually building them I enjoyed it immensly. There was something about the actual construction of the kits themselves that seemed to compel me to go on to the next kit. Maybe it was the satisfaction in making something out of a seeming jumble of parts. The feeling of accomplishment. Perhaps the "zen" of the puzzle. Wasn't quite sure what it was, but all I knew was the feeling, the mild euphoria, the ... wonder of it all ... Went away when I was done with building whatever it was I was gluing together at the time. The only way I was going to get that wonderful feeling back was to go on & get another bunch of pieces cemented together.

One day ... it hit me as a gradual revelation. It was the dang glue! Now, I had always assembled them in a ventilated area. Or at least as much ventilation as a large cellar room would have. Still there were fumes. A lot. I never liked the smell of model glue so it wasn't like I was sniffing it on purpose  or "huffing" it out of a paper bag. It was with that realization I quit the hobby. Knowing the actual "enjoyment" of something was a false pleasure, I left & never went back.

I remember a "contact high" from wacky weed. Some friends were indulging so I left early. Not early enough it seems. Before driving, I sat in the car for about a half hour before "it" went away. Gotta be careful. Stuff can sneak up on ya ...
