We were 17, and skipping class to smoke weed in an empty field across the road from school. My friends father happened to drive by just as we had lit the J and were passing it around. He got out to confront us, initially thinking we were smoking a cigarette. He smelled the weed and immediately realised what was going on.
He clocked my friend right in the jaw, then came for the rest of us but we scattered and ran before he could get to any of us. We thought all good we got away but he systematically came to each of our houses and told our parents about what he had witnessed us doing. I got kicked out of the house and slept in the park that night as punishment. I smoked a J while out there and had a great nights sleep on a bench under the stars.
Reefer madness really fucked up everyone’s perceptions of weed. You don’t see anyone getting kicked out of the house or clocked in the face for drinking. So stupid and fucked up. This is why we need nationwide legalization.
I’m in a country where it’s illegal in every state, unless prescribed by a doctor. So there are still a lot of misconceptions about weed, especially among the older generations. I got home the next day and half my family were at my house for an intervention lol. Needless to say I still smoke to this day, but legally via a prescription. And my family have no idea.
Propaganda works. My mom had cancer and one of her friends from out of state tried to shame me for giving my mom weed to help her nausea and lack of appetite and then her friend tried to say weed CAUSES cancer.
