There are about 100 people in this room. The number of people who have exposed their knees in public is probably pretty close to 100%. The number of these people on average who have smoked pot at sometime in their lives is around 41%. The percentage goes to 54% if you exclude the elderly.
I have no idea how they capture these numbers. Who is going to confess to a Federal crime over the phone to a pollster?
The last person to be arrested in the US for exposing their knees to public view probably died a half century ago. In 2010, 750,591 people were arrested for mere possession of marijuana. In spite of the most horrific and destructive campaign to eradicate drug use; in spite of unbelievably cruel and lengthy punishments, that number has more than doubled since 1980. Pot is not getting less popular. It is getting MORE popular.
In spite of its popularity, it’s still uncouth to discuss it in polite society. If someone advocates for the legalization of marijuana, people cast their gaze in another direction. They blush and snicker. Anyone who wants to legalize pot obviously just wants to get high. They are dopers, bums, slackers, disgusting, without ambition, are of weak moral character and can be dismissed out of hand. All they want out of life is a case of Ramen noodles and to continue living in their mothers’ basements—and of, of course, they are automatically criminals.
The people who smoke pot or advocate for its legality are libertines, roues, soiled doves, people of low moral character, given to telling coarse jokes and dousing themselves in cheap perfume. Pot smokers are not received in polite society. One does not advocate it in front of the ladies. Unless you condemn it emphatically, you will not speak of it. No, wait. That’s how they viewed sexuality in the 19th century. Today we view the exposure of skin like this, while this is how marijuana use and legalization is viewed.
So only potheads, libertarians and other lowlifes advocate for legalization. It has nothing to do with this:
Kathryn Johnston, an 88-year-old living in Atlanta, Georgia, was shot by plainclothes police as they entered her home with a no-knock warrant after cutting the security bars. This warrant was obtained using fraudulent information as the basis for the narcotics raid. Ms. Johnston fired a warning shot, fearing a home invasion, and was shot multiple times in response.
Or this:
