Legalized Marijuana

Marijuana/Grass/Hashish/Cannabis
Different names, same product. Collectively put under the name "dope/drugs". Stuff we are told from childhood to stay away from. Stuff tht is supposed to be the worst of all addictions.
But is it ?
Marijuana/Cannabis is not addictive (atleast not as addictive as cigarettes or alcohol or even coffee & tea)
Marijuana/Cannabis is much less harmful to human body in the long term as compared to cigarettes or alcohol
Ppl under the effect of marijuana tend to become docile while well, I guess we all have seen the effects of alcohol

Neway this post is not about publicizing marijuana. These are just some of the arguments in the favour of legalizing marijuana from lobbyists in the US. This got me thinking. What if marijuana was legalized. I mean what if you could just walk into a Big Bazaar or Food World and buy a packet of marijuana ? (Dream Sequence involving various scenarios begins)

half an hour later
(Dream Sequence Ends, The Post continues)

For one, it would help the Government earn a hell lot of tax revenue. Which means ministers getting richer & fatter & more money to waste in useless projects.

Instead of alcohol, ppl would move to marijuana. Which means less road accidents (well, ppl under the influence of marijuana dont even feel like moving, let alone drive), less household violence, less rowdy ppl & yes, less ppl treating roadsides as their bathrooms.

And believe it or not. Marijuana helps open up ur thinking process. Ideas start flowing (tht's till u dnt get too high), ppl open up easily.

Above all, more ppl would be able to listen to Pink Floyd the way its meant to be heard. Its not called Psychedelic Rock just bcoz they cudnt find ne other name for tht genre

Well there r a few more advantages but that's for some other time.

So lets dream abt the day when we can walk into a Big Bazaar or go to the friendly neighbourhood "paan ki dukaan" & buy a packet of marijuana along with a packet of smokes without worrying abt the police. Amen

PS: If you are taking this post seriously, that means u r either already doped which means this post is usless for u OR u r so dumb that even marijuana cant save u

PPS: No, I wasnt high when I wrote this post

धूम्रपान

धूम्रपान
एक कार्य महान

धूम्रपान
एक कार्य महान
सिगरेट है संजीवनी
पीकर स्वास्थ्य बनाओ
समय से पहले बूढ़े होकर
रियायतों का लाभ उठाओ

सिगरेट पीकर ही
हैरी और माइकल निकलते हैं
दूध और फल खाकर तो
हरगोपाल बनते हैं

जो नहीं पीते उन्हें इस
सुख से अवगत कराओ
बस में रेल में घर में
जेल में सिगरेट सुलगाओ
अगर पैसे कम हैं
फिर भी काम चला लो
जरूरी नहीं है सिगरेट
कभी कभी बीड़ी सुलगा लो

बीड़ी
सफलता की सीढ़ी
इस पर चढ़ते चले जाओ
मेहनत की कमाई सही काम में लगाओ

जो हड्डियां गलाते हैं
वो तपस्वी कहलाते हैं
ऐ कलयुग के दधीचि
हड्डियों के साथ करो
फेफड़े और गुर्दे भी कुर्बान
क्योंकि
धूम्रपान
एक कार्य महान

Welcome To The Dark Side

Almost since the day I have been blogging, my friends have been complaining that they cannot be candid on my previous blog. So I thought abt starting a new blog where they can freely express their views.
The first thing that u'll complain abt is the name plagueis.blogspot.com. Abt it being hard to remember. Dont worry, add it to ur blogroll and u dont have to remember it neway.
So who is Darth Plagueis. Being a huge fan of Star Wars, I decided to go with the name of a character from the movie. Unfortunately, all the usual ones were taken and I had to settle for this.
Darth Plagueis was a Sith Lord who, according to legend, had discovered a way to manipulate midi-chlorians to prevent death and create life. He was the master of Darth Sidious, the Emperor in the star wars trilogy. If u r a fan of Star Wars and saw Star Wars III : Revenge of The Sith, you should be able to recall this convesation between Emperor Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker in the senate.
"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? No? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life.... He had such a knowledge of the dark side he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.
He became so powerful the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did.

Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. [smiles] It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself "
Plagueis could, it was said, coax the midi-chlorians present in all living cells to create life from nothingness.A theory is that Plagueis in his experimintation with the Force may have created Anakin Skywalker in the womb of Shmi Skywalker of Tatooine. Hence, Darth Plagueis remains the gr8est Sith Lord ever.
