ISearch What

As of right now, our state of Maine I do not believe that selling legal Marijuana for a profit is not an option, the dispensary locations have not even been decided, so the answer to the first question is still further down the road. I have heard many rumors, stating that corporations such as Marlboro have empty warehouses waiting to fill them up with Marijuana grow operations for mass production, but this is only hear say, I hope that localized business owners could stay in front of the corporations, to give the middle class a much needed boost. I do not know how efficient it would be to fuel cars with hemp, but it is a curious side topic to the real issue that I will find some answers too. My efforts to assist in legalization are by my voice, and my actions.

For example, my roommates and myself were having some issues with the parking situation at my apartment. Since there is still a parking ban in effect, we had to find ways to not get parking tickets, for our driveway is not big enough for all of the cars that need to be crammed into it. So we would park in front of the Doctors house across the street, no big deal right? Guess again, the doctor was very unhappy that the neighbors were taking his patients rightful parking spots during the weekdays. So the doctor relentlessly called the cops on anyone who was parked in front of his house during the hours of 12 am- 5 am. He was taking advantage of the system that is in place and we were getting $20 parking tickets left and right. It took us a few times to figure out that he was the pulling the strings, but once we did, we knew how to take advantage as well. From that day on I would park my car directly in front of his front door, during all normal business hours Monday-Friday, if I was home of course. I knew he would take notice and one day the confrontation would be there. All I wanted him to do from the beginning, was to come over and talk with myself or one of my roommates about the very simple solution that was in front of us, he clearly did not want to for some reason.

So one day my roommate walks inside, and alerts me that the doctor is furious outside, ranting about the “asshole in the Honda.” “Perfect,” I thought, so I strolled on outside to my car and walked up to the doctor, he was tending to his garden on his side of the fence. So I say, “So apparently they is a problem with the parking?” (Like I didn't know what the issue was, from his perspective and mine.) I was fully aware that having the parking spots in front of his house open for customers, this makes sense to me, but what doesn't make sense was the doctors route to a resolution. I went over to his turf, and voiced my opinion and educated a very well educated man about how my generation is not lost, we are just finding our way, and that we are all people, so why could he not come talk to me from the beginning? He tried to make up excuses, I rebutted all of his excuses with answers, not excuses, then proceeded to present my resolution. I left the neighbors property, with a fresh start with our neighbors, and all of my parking tickets paid for. All he wanted was to have it open for his patients, I showed him that my generation may be different from his, but that we do know how to solve quarrels in a respectable manner. This is a perfect example about how talking things out in life can work for the better, if we are all educated and can keep our heads on straight, this world could be a better place, it just takes the extra effort by all of us.
