Green Community

Smoking Marijuana is a community. Although it may sound like a bunch of “drug addicts” abusing “drugs”, smoking weed is a recreational activity that brings people together. Smoking weed is an interest shared by people from all different ages, ethnicity, or color. The enjoyment of smoking holds the group together because smoking enhances the senses and pleasure so when you are around people that are “high” there is a lot of love and compassion to be passed around. In a smoking session the members take turns passing the smoking apparatus, the smokier the air, the deeper the conversations that take place. The enhancement of the senses usually leads to another activity such as eating, dancing, or socializing so therefore there is a lot of enthusiasm to have fun and hangout. All the members of the smoking community share the love and passion for smoking and this similarity brings them together.  Since smoking Marijuana is illegal, unless you have proper certification, the law is the biggest tension the works against the cohesion of this community.
In the smoking group, I am another person who loves to smoke. I like to smoke with different kinds of people. Since I have a job, and a stable source of income I usually contribute the most amount to the pool of medicine. I like talking and socializing so in the community I like to drive conversations and try to talk to as many different people as I can. The smoking community is a community I like being a part of because it attracts different types of people, and one of my favorite things to do is meet and greet new people. Besides the socializing aspect, the calming effects of Marijuana makes this community filled with people that just like to chill and be nice to each other.

What's in my wallet

When I opened my wallet I found my health car, my id card,some money, a gym membership card, a hookah lounge card, and my medical Marijuana card. If someone were to look at the contents of my wallet they can make a really odd justification of me. My gym card membership would make me look like some one who is healthy and active, which would be a good justification of me. the hookah lounge bar card would make me seem like I like to smoke Hookah, and the medical medical marijuana car would make me seem like pot head, which in fact is false. The contents of my wallet make me look like someone who likes to smoke marijuana, someone who likes to work out, and someone who likes to smoke hookah. They also put a negative tag on me because in this society we live in we seem to look down upon medical Marijuana users. There is a great prejudice about pot smokers, and if my card was found, I would be judged and be put through the lenses of the ignorant person who has those prejudice such as me being lazy, dirty, unmotivated, and a loser, but to the contrary I am a successful 20 year old who loves life, and am motivated than anybody I know.

This is a test

OMG my first blog post
