Recently I wrote a story about how I was surprised to find out that people were selling sex on Craigslis.org. I was completely shocked to see people openly selling there “services” there and they seemed to have their own codes for these different services.
Since that day I have spent some time browsing the other categories that I wouldn’t normally visit. I made my way over to the personals section and opened up the strictly platonic section. Nothing to strange at first but then I noticed that I kept hearing references to people "looking for 420"or "need to hook up with 420."
Not being up to times I decided to do a google search for “code 420” and was surprised to learn that this was a code for marijuana! People are opening advertising that they are looking for illegal drugs on craigslist.org! I don’t know. Maybe I am getting old. Maybe this is considered normal today. I am not sure how to react to this. It is scary to me that we live in a world where such things are going on right in front of our faces. I also can’t help to wonder what other code languages are going on around me that I am completely oblivious to.

This is all due to the fact that marijuana is illegal, it has created a black market right in front of our eyes.
By legalizing this substance you are not only destroying the black market, the Mexican cartels, and gangs, you are creating profit for the government just like it has been done with alcohol, and tobacco.
I just find it extremely sad to live in a world where you can sell tobacco which has caused millions and millions of deaths and be not allowed to sell marijuana which has been attributed to ZERO deaths in thousands and thousands of years.
Point is, people like smoking pot, people ignore unjusitifed laws, so they take the risk of posting messages on cregslist, which I dont really suggest you do.

legalizenow: whatever, but they still should not post in the PLATONIC PERSONALS section. That is plain wrong. Post your requests for drug deals in the buy and sell sections, obviously.
