On 420, these 8 charts show America's extraordinary evolution on marijuana

What makes the legalization of marijuana so particularly incomplete on this 420 in the year of 2026 is that all scheduled and unscheduled drugs are not also made legal completely. Why is marijuana so easy to regard for manufacturing, producing, distributing, selling, and consuming?

What is it that makes this particular substance at least in some places absolute reign over others? The answer is simple: perception.

Weed is perceived as a happy feeling, low key, warm vibe kind of plant that is directly used to efficaciousness. Drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine and opioids are looked at as destroying lives. But what about the option in individuals to never touch the stuff or seek treatment if they ever become addicted. Just like churches and liquor stores, there should be rehabilitation centers springing up all over the land.

Instead, we have people that even look down on marijuana production and usage. Their reasons might be related to faith or whether there will be a fitting military if everyone’s stoned. Like bands of roving nuns with rulers to tap knuckles, these people feel as if the Holy Spirit will be interrupted in the lives of consenting adults.

That’s key, too. The age ought to be seventeen or eighteen-years-of-age to make, possess and distribute or take in all drugs especially Mary Jane. As far as the United States Armed Forces are concerned, there will always be volunteers who may have smoked a few blunts in their day but will be sober on duty and on the frontlines.

While it would not be advised and private companies ought to pour more money into research regarding the drugs as a whole. The drug culture is profound throughout the United States and pockets of the world.

Hip hop as a music genre has produced Method Man, Red Man, Lil’ Wayne, Ludacris, Afroman, Wiz Khalifa, and of course Snoop Dogg amongst a whole list of other rappers who have mentioned smoking weed or taking edibles to capture that majestic taste of a high. They will be the soundtrack when weed is made legal nationwide.

It makes absolutely no sense that these drugs are not made readily available to grown ups. It is partially a mystical element again. People would feel different if Jesus did a few bowls while chopped it up with his disciples. (Did he though?) No one will ever know for sure, but it’s irrelevant to modern day politics. The issue is that people show trepidation when it comes to people enjoying themselves.

And if America shows that they’re serious about legalization, the governments of the world will more than likely follow suit. That means cocaine, heroin, promethazine and codeine without a prescription, or really any drug without a doctor’s squiggly signature. It’s all about principle. The drugs should be taxed only on consumption and not income. And people should have kilograms, pounds, and thousands of pills in their personal possession if they want.

All this talk about sending drug personnel to death row is absurd. As long as there are willing participants, there should be no limits or permits or odd licenses issued by the government. A simple driver’s license or state ID ought to suffice for the remainder of the people who will line up to get a fix. That should be the law of land and overseas. As we can see, Snoop and others can control their intake. But remember the dealers. They should be able to make billions off of the demand for the stuff.

So on this 420, this is just another friendly plea from someone who has never used anything related to anything besides prescribed drugs. I might hit a spliff if I turn 100-years-old, however. We’ll see.
