GRANT HILL CONDITIONED

I APPLAUD the government on their medical marijuana announcement. However,
Grant Hill raised an important issue. What about recreational marijuana?

Well, what about it? Let's face it, there are a lot of drugs available to
teenagers to get a high. Alcohol, tobacco, ecstasy, LSD, magic mushrooms,
marijuana, gasoline, and glue to name a few.

I agree teenagers should not take any drugs but they do and of all the
drugs available to teenagers, marijuana could be the safest. Hill made me
think of the monkey experiment. Put a group of monkeys in a room with a
chair. Every time a monkey gets on the chair, spray the whole group with a
fire hose. After a while the monkeys learn not to get on the chair and to
keep their buddies off that chair.

What was interesting about this experiment was with successive generations
of monkeys they still kept their buddies off the chair. They did not know
why. They had never been sprayed with the fire hose, they just knew not to
get on that chair because something dreadful would happen.

Hill is telling us not to get on that chair. Why? He does not know why,
only that is what he has been told. Prohibition does not work, people will
smoke cannabis whether it is legal or not. The government has no right to
dictate to adults what they can or can not put into their bodies.
