Does Bud do a Body Good?

Given the fact that someone is eighteen years or older, knows the effects that marijuana has on the body and brain, and can make rational decisions about ingesting it, then legalize it.

Don’t stop there though. Don’t tax it, regulate, or control it beyond the age restrictions. In a video on The Grand Report, a man is seen curling and puffing weed in intervals.

His steady rhythm of puff, curl, puff, curl propelled him to a healthy workout. To him, this was perfectly normal behavior. This may be something special for other adults as weed becomes further interwoven into American culture.

The downside, however, is that learning abilities, focus, and memory may be jeopardized as a result of using marijuana.

For the man in the video, he could have just the right amount of THC to exercise.

Will he remember what he did the other day is the question. In fact, as long as they’re like this hybrid of weedhead and musclehead, people should be alright.

But it goes beyond this. Every single drug, from the street corner to the ones rejected by the FDA should be legalized. If you want to get in your squats, you should be able to bang heroin in your quad. It would make for an interesting workout, but you would have had at least the freedom to use the drug on the books.

Crystal meth could be injected into a person’s neck and then they could go do Pilates. The possibilities are endless. The crack down on crack would be lifted so that an individual could tone her body and stay fit and trim while smoking a stem.

Whatever the case, all drugs ought to be seen as a choice for the individual adult. They should be considered as a privilege to use and if a person violates someone else’s rights like getting behind the wheel while intoxicated, punishment should be severe.

Once people destigmatize the idea of drugs and hold them as agents to change attitudes, then there will be a safer, more rational America. The fetters that kept the citizenry from experiencing acid and then riding to the gym as a passenger or going to their workout room in the comfort of their own home would fall.

Instead of engaging in peaceable actions like signing documents to relinquish the stranglehold on drug manufacturers, the government at the federal, state, and local levels has determined that drugs (mostly other than pot) are too dangerous for the populace; the people would not be able to comprehend for themselves as grownups the consequences of taking such substances.

What ought to be abolished are the FDA and the DEA. They’re unnecessary, evil bureaucracies. They are responsible for millions of deaths each year and contribute to the swelling prison population. The drugs that are canceled by the FDA and the DEA’s busted “criminals” who have not violated anyone’s rights should be exonerated, have their record expunged, and freed.

Given that the leftists are too happy to still have regulations and controls on drug businesses and rightists have no clue what to do with drug culture except to say it’s a sin against the unknown and unknowable, there is a certain quandary afoot.

Something both political camps can agree on is the fact that the government should be the factor in all of this. The man in the video can’t obviously make decisions for himself so Mother Gov must step in to mentally breastfeed him and tell him what he must do.

This ought to be corrected. When people make the decision to smoke, inject, inhale, snort, or otherwise intake substances, they should have a clear understanding of what they’re doing and why. As long as no one is being violated, anyone should be able to pump iron and catch a buzz at the same time.
