Skank Vs. Drunk

Once upon a time, in the land of the wise men, then called Wiseville, there lived a very wise King whose name was Virecheche. During those days, where some things had to happen under consent of the King, there emerged a debate where some of the citizens were scandalizing beer drinking while others were scandalising weed smoking. The King could not take sides and so he decided within wisdom, of course, to find out which one of the two should be out lawed based on behaviour after indulgence.

He ordered his soldiers to get him some twenty people (citizens) who would confirm for him the pros and cons of beer and weed. He ordered two separate rooms to be set asside and divided the twenty into two groups of ten. In one room he gave the ten people enough weed and the light while in the other room he provided enough beer and asssorted pints. He wanted to be called after a few hours to witness for himself what effects the intoxicants had on his people.

At noon he went to check out on his experiment and decided to start with the drinking guinea pigs. Immediately he opened the door he was greeted with insults and incoherent vibe from the already too-intoxicated-to-care drunkards. He decided that nothing of what they were shouting made any sense to him so he decided to check out on the other lot before he could make any decisions.

When he neared the room, he was greeted with too much silence and he carefully opened the door wondering what surprise awaited for him in the silent room of ten people. He pushed the door and stood aside, then gathered courage and peeped while on a crouching position, just in case anything was thrown aimed at his face. His revelation surprised him. The ten guys were all present and the weed was gone, finished, consumed, smoked, used. Immediately they saw the King they started praising him saying how good he was as a leader. They were not shouting and neither did they appear to be in a hurry to say what it was they were saying. The King's lips curved into a smile as he trotted away back to the throne.

Immediately he called all his aides and told them to ban alcohol in his Kingdom. Weed was the way to go. Weed was legalised and projects started to start large scale farming of this cooling-effect crop. Many years later after the King's death is when the ban on beer was lifted but skanking was still legal. The citizens skanked happily ever after.
