How people perceive things perplexes me at times.
Tonight is one of the largest party nights of the year.
Kids are home from college, relatives are starting to show up, tomorrow is parade,
football and food.
Thankfully we have banded together as a people and
demanded our government makes sure the food that is in our grocery stores is as
fresh as it can be without bacteria that will make us sick. It gets cleaned and
inspected where it is prepared, shipped in refrigerated trucks if necessary,
all those things we expect.
When this system breaks down all hell breaks loose. We
hire lawyers to find out what sickened us and where the blame should be placed.
We back scientists on our government payroll to use microscopes and whatever
other equipment is necessary to identify the source and take corrective action.
Many states now allow for the personal use of marijuana. Those
states have attempted to interject rules not to restrict the growing or sale,
but to make sure the safety precautions we expect in our other consumer products
are in place.
Rogelio Martinez, a federal boarder patrol officer is one
of those people who acts on our behalf to make sure the precautions we take as
a people to make sure products are provided us are of a certain quality that we
expect.
He was killed doing this on our behalf.
The argument that marijuana should have never been a ‘schedule
one’ drug and it should have never been made illegal is moot at this point. Now
it is an effort to bypass the rules reasonable people put in place to insure
safety and proper taxes are collected.
So as you spark-up this weekend ask yourself, do you know
where it came from? Has anyone died in order for you to enjoy your recreational
high?
