First off let me explain that I have never been pro-drug in my life.

I think alcohol is bad enough.

But recently I moved to Oregon, where weed, both for medical and recreational use, it has been legalized.

It's a great tax income source for the state, but beyond that I never really saw the appeal.

But, some people I was staying with went to a local dispencery in Salem and I tagged along for the experience.

Never expecting to buy some THC candies myself.

But I did, and they gave me a nice 10% discount for my first purchase.

I wasn't even sure if 14.3 mg was a lot or a little.

Do I eat one candy or the whole bag?

So, I ate half, then the other half two hours later.

After all, I read online that you really can't overdose on THC.

What happened to a first time marijuana consumer?

I felt normal.

Probably for the first time in a long time.

I felt like I imagined normal people feel.

I wasn't distracted or anxious, I was determined in a subtle way to explore all those thoughts that always run through my head.

Basically it cured my ADHD symptoms and made me a more productive member of society.

This was what they had made illegal for all these years?

It totally didn't compute... unless you considered all the money made from pharmaceutical companies to cure ADHD with legalized versions of speed, aka Adderall.

Just my two cents on the whole Legalize Marijuana thing and how it not only benefits the state but also its citizens.

And if anyone ever told me I would be writing a pro marijuana blog post I would have called them crazy.

Strange times my friends.

Strange times indeed.
