Opinion: Doug McIntyre: The myth that marijuana is totally harmless will bite society
In the 1950s and ‘60s, the low-hanging fruit of the comedy world was mother-in-law jokes. For whatever reason, every comic on “Ed Sullivan” had a knee-slapper about their mother-in-law. America loved it! Then the ‘60s kicked in for real and marijuana became the default topic for cheap laughs. For over five decades we’ve been splitting a gut about getting high.
With two-thirds of the states having legalized recreational pot, whatever stigma was attached to toking up has gone up in a puff of bong smoke. That pot remains in the bloodstream for days, even weeks, also explains the rise noted by Quest, so the uptick doesn’t necessarily mean more people are showing up for work high, but life experience tells me they are.
The truth is the American people have decided they want pot to be legal, which is fine by me. I don’t believe in imposing prohibitions on a free people. However, if we are going to live in a country immersed in pot smoke, we should be prepared for the predictable consequences.
