i love my phone.

I was extremely busy this week and weekend and didn't have time to type a blog. Now its 3:31 in the morning and I'm typing this off of my phone. What am I doing up you might ask? I was playing xbox with a few friends until about two thirty and I have been laying in bed for the last hour watching sportscenter. Duke snider died today. He played for the dodgers in the 60's and 70's. These nerdy grown men are trying to say jousting is a sport. They are probably in their fifties and are making an argument for jousting being a sport. What has gotten into some people these days. I am not sure how many words this is and don't care. I'm going to get to bed now.

Wanna hear a joke? Womans rights. (:

Marijuana Legalization

I was watching a show on the History Chanel recently and it was about the legalization of marijuana.  The thing that really got me thinking was that Dutch countries that have it legalized make I think 1.2 million is what it said just from selling marijuana legally.  Every one knows how far in debt the United States is, if our country legalized it and sold it in coffee shops or gas stations, it would get our country out of debt.  Guarnteed. 

I don't understand why alcohol is legal and marijuana is not.  There is more deaths by alcohol than any other drug in the United States.  As you can see here by this chart, alcohol is third in causes of death in the United States. To tobacco, which is also legal and obesity. 
Tobacco435,0001
Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity365,0001
Alcohol85,000 1
Microbial Agents75,0001
Toxic Agents55,0001
Motor Vehicle Crashes26,3471
Adverse Reactions to Prescription Drugs32,0002
Suicide30,6223
Incidents Involving Firearms29,0001
Homicide20,3084
Sexual Behaviors20,0001
All Illicit Drug Use, Direct and Indirect17,0001, 5
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Such As Aspirin7,6006
Marijuana07
As you can see above Marijuana is at 0 deaths per year caused from smoking.  Alcohol and tobacco combine for a whopping 520,000 deaths a year,  but they are both legal. I'm not saying it should be legal so I can smoke it, but that it should be legal because it would get our country out of debt.
