The sun was bold today, and we BBQed veggie burgers and watched Star Trek
re-runs. I engaged in a long discussion about legalizing pot with Matthew's visiting friend Josh.
I think that people should be able to smoke whatever they want in their
houses, and I think hemp is a fantastic fiber that would do well to be
used more in our clothing industry. But he stood there and said there is
no detriment to your health from smoking pot. I tried to explain there is
a detriment to your lungs from smoking anything -- you are inhaling smoke.
He protested. One of Matthew's roommates pointed to the fireplace and
said, "See that soot; that's what you're putting inside your lungs." I
was grateful for the rescue.
Another perfect summer day floats by...
