These past two years have been rough on America. We’ve seen our nation’s fortunes wither and the proud American workforce sidelined by a crippling recession. Millions of otherwise capable and intelligent Americans in the prime of their lives are now unemployed, scraping by on a pittance from the Government. It is hard to see how anything good could come of such a terrible situation. But allow me to offer one idea: we could legalize marijuana.
But now we find ourselves with millions of people with the free time, the lack of consequence and, most importantly, the normal clothes and haircuts to work the picket lines. In the past, fear of losing your job or time commitments may have kept regularly employed marijuana enthusiasts away from the pickets lines but that’s not a concern for millions of Americans now. It’s hard to get fired or have your pay docked when you no longer have a job, right? So instead of working on that novel you always knew you could write or eating yet another depressing microwaved dinner, how about getting out, getting loud, and changing the country?
