Medical Marijuana in My Neighborhood

The sights in my neighborhood, Palm Desert Country “Dump,” are as pathetic as the people who live there. My neighbor, Bob, the landlord’s son, likes to smoke in front of his house. Until recently when Bob beat up his Chinese national girlfriend, Ling, he was the star attraction on Minnesota Ave. Bob would yell across the street at his parents. He would call them “F---- Jews” and many other names. He never worked, even though he is 57 years old. Another sight is Bob’s parents. The Spences live right across the street from their son. They own four houses in the neighborhood. They have a pool in the back yard that they never use. Bob’s excuse is that it was the marijuana, the medical pot that is to blame for his psychotic behavior. Neither Bob nor his parents have any excuse: they are simply pathetic.
