Description
This comic's actually based on a true conversation. Lemme' give you guys the story.

I was playing Second Life a few years back, (I still do) and I was hanging out with my friend Joey Sieyes at this place called Restwood that we'd built. It was massive, took up almost an entire sim (If you've ever played SL, you should know what that is.) This person named Uniquely used to hang out with us before she was banned and we were all sittin' there talking about stuff. When some guy flies in and says, "I'm doing this school project! Can you help? I need somebody to give me a reason why they should legalize Marijuana, or whether they should keep it illegal?" (And of course, I'm paraphrasing here.)

Uniquely goes all bonkers with her anti-drug crap supported by loosely packed facts that the media usually spews. (I'm not knocking Uniquely, she was cool. I just hated some of her ideas.) The guy records her idea, and I quickly come back with my mind-blowing answer. I give him an example of the 1920's during prohibition and the examples of escaleted violence stemming from the ban on alcohol. I explained that marijuana is probably going through the same phase, and that it should be legalized. Joey Sieyes gave the interviewer a similar answer, but ultimately supported mine because I had some factual stuff. I remember the interviewer guy saying, "Wow. I didn't expect such serious answers. Most people just gave me crap like 'Yeah, weed is cool.' Thank you very much everybody!"

It was a really cool conversation, and when in class my teacher told the class to make a comic taking a stand on something or another, I decided to make a comic of that rad debate.

The drawing's really bad, but I'm really just shootin' for content here.

(Oh yeah, Ryou's my Second Life character, too. Who would have guessed?)
