I had some family members, that felt it necessary to have a current pet peeve whenever they came to the house! They would take something simple they had heard on the news and turn it into a large deal.
- Three weeks ago, they had heard that marijuana had been legalized for recreational use.
My good aunt, who is 68 years old, idly sat back and listened to her sister and my father discussing the legalization of recreational marijuana, but i was waiting to hear what she would have to say, because she always came up with some off-the-wall comment that made me laugh. My father was all for legalizing recreational marijuana, and my uncle was totally against it and the discussion was getting heated. My uncle sat back and asked what the large deal was with marijuana? She said she used marijuana as far back as when she was a kid; She still uses marijuana, however now it is just CBD. She looked at my father and told him she remembered him using marijuana and stealing some of her CBD Gummies whenever she had a chance. My uncle was 10 years younger than my aunt, her sister, and she called him out on how much marijuana she had used as a youngster, and how she now uses CBD for her arthritis. She told them they needed to open their eyup and realize that marijuana use has been around for many, multiple centuries, and it was about time they woke up and realized that it was no longer just for getting high.
