Record Searchlight, 17 Feb 2013 – The recent campaigns to legalize marijuana for recreational use are an interesting study in semantics. Now, when I think of "recreation," I envision people playing tennis, riding bicycles, or maybe boating on Lake Shasta. Even considering the broadest connotation of the word wouldn’t conjure images of somebody getting stupefied on a bowl of ganja weed. If smoking marijuana is recreation, then drinking a six-pack of Dos Equis must be the equivalent of a workout.
