After a pleasing session with the Grand Daddy Diesel, Shifty and I were struck in conversation that was initiated by the graphic image of Barack Obama puffing the nuggs in my earlier repost.

Now maybe I am playing devils advocate here, but, are we certain legalization is what we really want? I feel certain there will be devastating socio-economic fallout as a direct result of legalization, that may have not been considered or concieved of (As I am a mAd GenIOuS it is highly probable I am right too…)

First of all it will clearly shake the economy in multiple directions and be immensely destructive to our aggricultural insustry - Think about how ethenol has canabilized the production of corn as a food source…Farmers make more selling corn as energy then as a food based commidity. Without corn and grains its not just bread and microwave popcorn we loose, but our grain fed cattle, pork and poultry  production is impacted as well.  The price of feed goes up as less grain can be produced and the livestock ranchers must sucumb to the price increase inturn loosing money either by tighter margins or reduced production. the supply and consumer chain follows the same trajectory, less meat is produced and the prices must get higher, but in this economy who can afford it….this keeps going and going..you know the drill…we’ve only just started here and we have already put most of middle America on unemployment insurance.

I understand that there is an argument to this position found in the number of jobs a commercialized cannabis industry could create, however I am not convinced that is even an apples to apples comparrison until someone can show me the numbers.

As if the effect on the farming and livestock industries arent enough…Oh man what about Crime….

I will let these thoughts “resin”ate within your green  little brains for a bit while Shifty and I go and get a soon to be even more expensive corned beef club at Katz’s and deeply contemplate the life and true purpose of a matzoh ball!

I was never to sure of what I would talk about if  I were to ever actually blog.

Yep..thats right I’m  a bloggin virgin…(is there actualy a name for it?)…

And then, it hit me…well “then” was actually….CUT TO RANDOM FLASHBACK SCENE HERE:

We see me about 10 minutes ago… in the backyard talking to my friend Shifty the shapeshifting cosmic slug who apparently only I can see …but personally, I just think some  people arent cabable of having cosmic vision oooh I digress..I digress…anyhow back to the the back yard….

“Woah man, this Blue Dream is the shit man…and tastes so good through this new glass piece!!! Yeah man…fuckin righteous… It would be sooo cool if I totaly document its journey, like through out its metamorphisis of color… and I will journal and keep a detailed log of all its adventures, including all of the trees and shrubs it encounters, …..Oh Shit..this is a perfect thing for me to start a blog about..I am going to turn my machine on now and do it”….CUT BACK TO PRESENT

And so it begins :-)

Anyone wanna know more about My New Glass Piece and The Journey To The Land of Exotix or how about my cosmic buddy Shifty???

Send me your thoughts and I will keep smoking mine!
