iniisip ng sabog session 1: i realized the bad effects of legalizing marijuana (or other illicit substances)
Post Body

this is definitely a high rant and not sure how differently other people will be affected but imagine this:

ni-legalize ng ating bansa ang [insert any drugs here pero mostly, marijuana, shrooms, lsd, or honestly any recreation that can be commodified and regulated] kunwari weed tapos available na dito, accessible for those that need medication, for those who can use it therapeutically, for those who can plant it lucratively in their agricultural areas, for those who can study its scientific properties to better the formulation, and for those who can literally use it to much of their hearts' desires

...but, here's the thing...

if they regulate weed, the following things can happen:

  • magiging mahal ang weed especially those accessible through the government or those businesses that the government will require to register their business as selling marijuana [again, insert any drug here]
  • tapos kung kaya mo naman magbusiness, edi sure magreregister ka at may pera ka magtayo...kung isa sa mga dahilan mo para magbenta ng weed ay makapagpalaganap ng euphoria, peace, at comfort through weed [again, insert any drugs here], papaano mo magagawa yun bilang isang business na kikita kahit sa tingin mo madaming bibili ng weed pero kung papatungan naman ng gobyerno ang legalisasyon nito ng napakaraming sin tax, VAT, environmental tax, research tax or kung anu-anumang tax papano ka kikita? What's more papano kung corrupt gobyerno mo at hindi mo alam kung yung binabayad mo ba ay para lang makatulong sa pag-reregulate nung weed para maging parte ng kapitalistang ekonomiya o para lang mapalayo yung kasiyahan na nadadama natin sa marijuana [again, insert any drugs here] sa nakakaraming tao?

-MAGMAMAHAL ANG WEED alam kong nasabi ko na kanina pero isipin niyo ano ibig sabihin nun,,,legal nga ang weed pero, maraming titingin sa marijuana bilang gamot na mapagkakakitaan at kung kinuha yan agad ng mga industries like, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, transport, fmcg, etc...weed regulation does not mean na magiging maganda ang quality lalo na kung mass produced kumpara sa quality ng nakukuha sa mga plug...na nagssource ng weed sa ibang bansa, or na kayang tapatan yung quality ng ibibigay sa merkado at kayang i-ensure na walang cutting corners na ginagawa sa paggawa ng produkto...magpepersist ang plug culture, mas madaming pupuntang pa rin sa ilegal na paraan ng pagkuha

  • will safety be guaranteed? will it make any difference kung a portion of the country is against it? we are predominantly catholic, others protestant or other christian sectarian religion, tapos the islam community - all against weed, all against other forms of pleasure making, enough to make them ostracize users, enough to ruin reputation if portrayed wrongly in media, enough to be violated or manhandled or groped or tortured or betrayed because we use it despite it being legal

...because one politician says so,

...because one god says so,

...because one celebrity says so,

it happens. tingin nila nababangag tayo sa marijuana, tingin nila hindi sila bangag, tingin nila nakakabangag ang marijuana, sila ang bangag, at patuloy nagbabangag bangagan. now again i ask, will safety be guaranteed?

anong tldr nito? simple lang - sa kakayahan ng gobyerno natin na magmanipula ng media para mapasama ang weed [insert some drugs here hindi lahat kasi pwede yosi, kape, alak] at ipakita ng mga relihiyon na nakakabaliw ang marijuana, galing ito kay satanas at ang pagbabaga ng mga usok ay isang sanhi ng iyong paghipak sa umiinit na pagsunog ng dagat dagatang apoy, na nakakaimpluwensiya ito nang masama sa may mga kamalian sa utak, na peke ang kasiyahang nararamdaman mo dito HERE'S THE THING: legalizing it will still make it affected by multiple fronts of problems that make it something ~so other~, kakaiba, pwedeng ma-manipulate at gamiting pantakot pa rin

kung ang produktong ibibigay nila ay hindi mataas ang kalidad, puro, at may halong nakakalasong kemikal,

kung kaya ka pa ring hulihin, parusahan, o patayin dahil hindi ka lisensyadong magbenta ng marijuana,

kung overzealously faithful ang mga tao sa paligid mo,

kung sa tingin ng pamilya mo delikado pa rin gumamit,

kung kaya ka pa ring saktan ng kahit sino kasi sa tingin nila wala kang kwenta, kasiraan, at karumihan lang sa mundo,

kung corrupt ang gobyerno mo,

kung wala kang pera,

may magbabago ba kung maging legal ang marijuana?

aasa ka bang meron?
