This Luxury Cannabis Company Is Completely Revolutionizing the Way We Think About Weed

Ummmm, No. Not even a little bit.

I do, however, plan on enjoying watching a good segment of our social potential crash and burn over the next few years.
Just watching one superior intellect deteriorate before our eyes , once, puts things into sharp focus.

I always told my sons and daughter that the self destruction of delusional druggies is a self-correcting problem. No point arguing the benefits of a drug-free existence.

You raise some good points, but the essential question is: what's the goal? Is it to live according to the dictates of a book to earn a chance at reward of everlasting life? Or, is it recognizing that there's really no point, since both princes and prisoners end up in the same hole in the ground.

If the basic foundation of liberty is freedom of choice, then why is one person's opinion/standard more valid than another's? If there isn't any one 'true' path, then who is to judge whether a life is wasted or not, worthy or not, productive or not?

If one tries to apply objective measures respecting 'success' - hard because standards by definition are artificial and hence, subjective - there are literally countless ways to get off-track.

In this context, cannabis is a small time player. Alcohol has always been, and will always be, the champ in terms of destroying lives. With the advent of genetic research and designer drugs, cannabis cannot hold a candle next to opiates and artificial derivatives with respect to destructive power.

I suspect a large part of the relaxation of cannabis enforcement is the recognition of what's coming down the line. Even in that arena, is it possible to maintain a free society if there are constant demands to control each successive generational threat? Or, do you just live and let live, and let the chips fall where they may?
