Weed changed my way of thinking, but in a different sort of way. My relationship with the Man has always been a tricky one, but I outright hated the government before I started smoking pot. Now I work for the Man in DC as a "summer hire" (I sit behind a desk for $14 an hour! WHOOO!). However, being in that position has opened up some interesting opportunities for me to be a marijuana activist, which I'll discuss later.

(That, and most of my paycheck is going towards pot. :-P)
