Far out...
It's funny though. For most of my adult life this felt like something that was never going to happen — though we all fervently hoped it would — but now it has, it feels kinda meh. It's not remotely accompanied by any sort of "collective change in consciousness, man!" which was the dream once upon a time. The longtime neighbourhood dealers are being put out of business by corporations, in some cases fronted by the same cops who threw them in pokey twenty years back. Shit I don't even smoke the stuff any more, though for twenty-odd years it was a necessary accompaniment to my daily routine. Today is supposed to be a celebration — certainly the MM are treating it that way — but it feels empty to me, and I feel like a huge slab of my time on the planet has been wasted, but not in a good way.
