There are few things I hate in the world as much as pot, so now that recreational marijuana will be on the ballot for the November 7th election, 2023, I will be an emphatic NO. I’m against marijuana use in every way possible, especially recreationally. I don’t care if you can make a rope out of it or clothes. Marijuana is a horrendous drug. I have about a third of my family members who either have used it or are using it. Some for medical reasons because they have chronic pain, and my answer to them is all the same. My relationship ends with them once they use it, which has been the case no matter who they were. There are many things I can overlook, personal failures that I can sympathize with. But the purposeful destruction of a mind is not one of them. I have always been in the camp of capital punishment for drug dealers, even if small quantities might end up in the hands of kids. But even further than that, I also feel that way about users. Marijuana is a poison intended to decrease how a brain works and is detrimental to the human race. I don’t care how natural it is. I’ve heard all the excuses about it making people “mellow.” That the Indians used it and that its nature’s way of chilling out the world. No thanks. It didn’t help the Indians very much, and for what it did to them, bad people today want to do to the United States, which is the ultimate goal behind the mass destruction of America by its enemies. The drug culture was a purposeful poison introduced to our country because nobody wanted to fight us on the battlefield after World War II. So they plotted to ruin the minds of the youth, and the results are what we see today, several generations of people compromised by the drug.
I’ve never been a “libertarian,” a do-what-you-want-at-all-cost kind of guy. I’ve always been a slave-destroying Republican promoting capitalist economies and an intellectual society smart enough to vote. This live-and-let-live crap is for the birds. If I smell marijuana, I get furious, even if it’s in my backyard. I have gone to war, which is well chronicled in many courtrooms, police reports, and mayor’s offices over the last thirty years, and my thoughts on pot have never wavered. I suppose my hatred of marijuana started in school as I watched kids in the back of the bus pass joints around. It made them look stupid, and they were glad of it. Then I saw a few Cheech and Chong movies which they seemed to want to copy, and I didn’t think they were funny in the slightest. My earliest thoughts on pot are that it was a weapon given to American culture to poison it, and my observations have proven this to be the case over time. I’m not unrealistic about marijuana; trying to find people who feel the same way I do about it is about as realistic as looking for a virgin in a whorehouse. Just about everyone has at least tried it once or used it at a time in their lives. Depending on what’s going on with people, they may come and go in their use of it. The result is that most people don’t have strong opinions against it because they can’t afford to. Well, I can. I’ve never used it. I have been in many bloody fights over it and was successful. And I’m not changing my opinion about it now. Once I find out that someone uses pot, they are dead to me, no matter who they are.
Marijuana is a poison meant to rob people of their intellect, and I would go as far as to say that it has no redeeming value. Humans are supposed to be thinking creatures with dominion over nature. Not a bunch of slack-jawed hippies stoned at a music festival. Recreational marijuana use is an appalling concept. If it doesn’t pass this time, it likely will in the future because many people out there are too weak to stand up to its temptations. But there is nothing good about intoxication, not even with alcohol or prescription drugs. And as I told a family member a few weeks ago, you don’t take marijuana under any circumstances; I don’t care how much pain you are in. You fight through the pain and preserve your intellect. I don’t care if marijuana is in a vaping condition or a little pill; you never take it. It is a weapon of war against human civilization and was always meant to be that way. I have lost many friends over my opinions about marijuana and am glad to have lost them. I had some really close friends with whom I had gone through a lot when I was younger. I went out to a movie, and when I returned to my apartment, I smelled pot in my bedroom, where I had a little parakeet bird. While I was gone, they had tried to get the little bird stoned. I moved out and never spoke to any of them ever again. That is just one example. Many similar situations go back to my essential hatred as a kid in watching how stupid people behaved when they used it and how it was a celebration of a lack of intellect.
I don’t care if Shakesphere smoked dope or Albert Einstein. It doesn’t matter who it is; if they smoke dope and advocate for marijuana in any way, medicinally, recreationally, or historically, they are dead to me. I have been let down by just about everyone in my life at some point over pot, and I’ve heard it often; maybe the problem is me. Do you want to be the only one with such strong opinions? Well, the answer is yes. I would rather have nobody in my life and keep a strong intellect completely marijuana free than accept such a device to have a few worthless friends and family members. Marijuana is the weapon of choice of people who want to control us, and they understand that using the drug lowers society’s IQ in general. It slows down people and their thinking and makes them dumber. And for me, that is the worst attribute any community could embrace. So, I am a very emphatic no on recreational marijuana in Ohio. I’m okay with that if I’m the only one who votes against it. I will never accept pot in my culture and will work against it constantly. Legalizing drugs, especially marijuana, is a race to the bottom by dumb people who want to hide their timidity in the collectivism of mass culture. The more stoned people, the less guilty they feel for being diabolical losers. That’s why they say, “Don’t judge.” Well, I say, judge and judge often. And don’t be a loser. And the recreational use of marijuana is a choice to be dumb and to turn off your mind when the goal of existence is to think and create. Marijuana is the opposite of those things, and once a state accepts it as a part of its culture, everything goes downhill. That is certainly the case for states that have already legalized it. You can tell the moment you cross over their borders. It would be terrible for Ohio, especially when companies have to deal with brain-dead employees who miss work too much and feel that they don’t have to pass a drug test to maintain employment. Marijuana causes nothing but problems and should never be legalized in any way, shape, or form. Anyone who advocates for marijuana consumption as a country, a state, or a personal right is attempting to destroy the consumer. The world needs more shepherds, not more sheep. And marijuana is for the sheep, those who would be herded to the slaughterhouse, which is just what the enemy wants.
