There’s a big story in the news today that there was a huge marijuana bust in a quiet suburb in southern New Hampshire. It seems the pot farmers bought up a bunch of houses in New Hampshire and Massachusetts to cover up their operation in quiet neighborhoods. This bust took in enough plants that would have been worth $42 million on the street.
Who would have bought all this pot?
It’s one of the suburb’s many dark secrets that a lot of those nice, middle-class folk can’t get through the day without a toke. They need it like the Leave It To Beaver Generation needed a martini (or two or three) handed to them at the door by June after a hard day at the office. Pot is the drug of choice for all of those aging boomers at the end of the day, for those stay-at-home moms when the kids have gone off to school, and to cut loose with their friends on a Friday night.
I’ve always wondered what would happen if legalization actually got on the ballot. Would these middle-age, middle-class stoners vote with their hearts or their heads? Here’s the answer. If they turn their kids on to it and if they smoke it out in the open in their homes they’d vote yes. If it’s their dirty little secret they’ll keep it that way.
