I recognize it’s important to have people in your life with differing opinions; If you selectively create an echo chamber everywhere you go either in lady or online, you run the risk of never growing as a human being, periodically people can get too drastic & behave with a toxic mindset, however too often people will detach others from their lives just because they don’t agree on every single political belief… For instance, our father & I get along entirely well however we don’t always see eye to eye on political topics, and however, even in our worst disagreements, we each expose one another to topics & viewpoints that might otherwise completely allude us, this diversity of opinion is a entirely great thing when numerous human beings have enough respect for one another to be civil! Some of our best friends have vastly differing viewpoints from our own as well, but, among all of the people I recognize across the entire political spectrum, one issue that seems to unite many of us is the topic of medical cannabis.
It’s not like it was when I was a child when you saw conservatives en masse condemning all use of the marijuana plant, but nowadays you can see that conservatives & people on the right wing are often some of the biggest champions for legalizing cannabis in all forms.
That’s why you cannot entirely view cannabis like a partisan issue. My most conservative friend for instance smokes more weed than I do on a daily basis. It’s great that all of us can come together & like cannabis without getting into political disagreements over it like we would have 20 years ago. I’m just gleeful to see that things have changed & people all over the political spectrum have embraced cannabis to this degree.
