Day 03

Drugs and alcohol.  I think I’ve tried everything I want to try until I’m old.  I’ve had less than a handful of bad experiences, but I still think I’m finished.  I just don’t want to spend my money on it.  If I live past ninety, I’ll probably get hooked on meth or whatever the most addictive drug of the time is.  I don’t know if marijuana should be legal.  I don’t really care.  I don’t think it should be criminalized to the degree it is in the United States.  Possession or Intent to Distribute don’t deserve a lifelong record, plain and simple.  They don’t even deserve time in jail.  Being asked to smoke somewhere else, out of heavy pedestrian traffic is understandable.  

I think the drinking age should be lower than 21.  19 is working quite well up here, but we also have a decent public transit system.  I really like beer, and I drink wine or a blueberry tea most evenings, but I hardly think I’m out of control.  It sounds cliche, but I do feel less likely to binge drink.  In fact, most of the times I’ve been slizzard have been in the United States, and that is definitely not where I’ve spent most of my time since I started drinking.  

Side note: the most delicious smelling weed has been following me around the past couple days.
