An Awesome Cure for Absolutely NOTHING!

I was a teenager in the sixties amongst the Hippie generation. Even though I wasn’t a follower of their ideals of the flower power, drugs and free love, I was still young and impressionable. I LIKED the free love part but learned that after three divorces they mislead me on the FREE. 

If drugs did have a place in society: Can you imagine the production of a coke or meth addict at a McDonalds? The hamburgers would be served before they were ordered. As a Border Guard, the lineups would disappear and the drug smugglers would have their own express lane. As a fire fighter they would circle the fire with the trucks so fast the vortex would extinguish the flames without water. As a Politician they would take bribes, mislead the public, pad their expense accounts and get enormous retirement packages……

Can you imagine a dude sucking on a joint… walking into a bank intending to rob it. ‘Dude’ floats up to the teller and takes a slow toke. ”Hey damsel…TOKE... Like… I’m here to rob you...TOKE... Like, I’m in no rush…TOKE… Would you like to partake?...TOKE… Miss… like… could you tell me why I’m here?...Oh ya I need some green…TOKE… Do you have a lunch room?…TOKE… I have a gnarly hunger happening.”  The police arrive and take him into custody.  On the way to the jail he decides to enlighten the arresting officers. “Dudes… Did you bring my money, and I misplaced my weed?”  Maybe the world would be a mellower place.

Why don’t we legalize everything illegal and do away with the courts and police and the need to feel guilty. I am almost positively sure, I think, that this would work. The government would regulate, taxate and manipulate our new freedom to such a degree that we would go bankrupt. Then we would have to steal to survive and go on the wagon because drugs are too expensive. But that’s okay, it’s legal. The drug cartels would apply for a government bailout.  To maintain the cash flow to the Politicians they would apply a BST on anyone that does a good deed.

The evening news would be interesting. They wouldn’t have anything of controversy to report, so they would ‘Role Play’ someone feeling bad about committing a murder and pretend they went to prison to get their degree in Political Science. There is another positive; the need for lawyers and judges would be obsolete. They would have to get real jobs.

Heard it said many times that the police battle against illegal drugs hasn’t accomplished a thing. Okay. Donate the confiscated drug money to the ‘Baker Relief Fund’. Wouldn’t want it to go to waste.

So after hours of consideration and lack of forethought these ideas could function in today’s society. I kinda liked chasing bad guys though.

Now at any time, anything I said made sense to you; CHECK YOUR MEDS!

Please...  CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG!
