going to pot is going

Supposedly in the 60's marijuana was the thing to do. I am not so sure that is true, but I was only 5 at the start of the 60's. Word didn't really get out about marijuana until the 70's when the Beatles admitted they smoked it, then everybody wanted to. Soon it was everywhere, and it was the thing to do. In the 80's, pot became harder to find, and it also became expensive. By the 90's much of the youth had moved on to other more dangerous drugs. I would say for the past 20 years, pot has been rather passe, seen occasionally, but hardly a big thing. Then the disaster struck. In California anyway, you can buy it almost anywhere. It is legal with a doctor's prescription, which can be easily obtained. There are pot dispensaries on almost every corner. It has taken all the charm out of pot smoking. Now if you want to smoke pot you are not only a stoner but openly admitting to the world that you can't get through your day without it. Making it legal has been the death blow to pot smoking.
