With all the states that are passing legislature to legalize the sale and consumption of weed, one could argue that it’s finally being accepted as NOT the evil villain and gateway drug that the government has been preaching it as for so long. Celebrities smoke weed, and just recently it came out that John Boehner, the Republican former Speaker of the House has become a board member of a company that grows weed and makes marijuana products.
But the federal government still considers it a schedule one substance, and most people will still look at you sideways if you light up a joint near a school or outside your church before you head in.
So has public opinion really changed that much, or are the opponents of it’s legalization finally just wearing out and allowing it in lieu of bigger problems?
What do you think?
