I Remember

I remember in the '80s when there was a commercial that told us why we should not smoke marijuana. In this commercial, they would break an egg on the hot pavement and it would begin to fry. They said that this is what marijuana does to you: fry your brain. I could reflect back thinking, I surely don't want my brain fried.

But in the back of my mind I was curious. Does it really do all that?

Guess what? 21 years old me came. Who I had to answer to? Myself. I was so legal for a lot of things. I used out; I tried alcohol, marijuana, wine, fruit mix drinks siguaries, champagne. I got nothing out of none of them. Marijuana made me mad because I was eating out of my refrigerator like I had been out of food for days. I had a complex about my weight. Now, for the taste, I like different flaws like the drunkenness and vomiting. I will drink wine, Dequarie, and champagne, but not too much. I am a social drinker. Every once in a while.

But what trips me out is this era. How marijuana is legal. How people are willing out on marijuana and its products. Times have changed, that's for sure.

I think the difference is that we have social media. And while social media has a million negative aspects. It also gives us the ability to talk and to communicate. To comment on those ads with people who we would never have been able to talk to before. I think it's given to ability for people to create a collective voice where they may not have been able to before.
