Lol....just don’t smoke or eat the stuff and you won’t be a racist!

It’s all about Blacks and their endless problems - all caused by Whites of course.

Again.

Yawn.

Well at least she was candid about the candy. Some people have horrible trips on that stuff. I’d say you are a fool to use it for anything OTHER than bona fide medical purposes.

[Cicero]

Typical lib reporter. Everything is about race.

The message I get from this story is that Maureen Dowd is a jerk.

Not that I didn’t already know that.

[all the best]

White liberal privilege to fly from NYC to Denver for a stoner candy bar. And I am sure she is so concerned about hungry children who could have had a few meals with the money wasted on such utter nonsense.

[Sherman Logan]

Despite the fact that Whites and Blacks use marijuana at the roughly the same rate, a Black person is 3.73 time more likely than a White person to be arrested for possessing the drug, according to the ACLU.

A very large percentage of those in prison for mj possession weren't "arrested" for having pot. They were stopped or arrested for some other crime.

Since drug possession is more or less a slam dunk in court, the DA goes with prosecuting for possession, and drops the other charges.

Possession is also a common plea bargain down from a more serious charge.

That blacks commit other crimes in a multiple of those by other races goes a long way to explain the disproportionate rate of "arrest" for possession.

Maybe it’s me, but I find it curious how drug use by upper-middle class White people can become an intellectual discussion on the residual consequences of drug legalization or the misuse of medication when so many Black men and women who do the same thing are viewed through the lens of criminality.

Oh, you mean like when a WHITE LIBERAL "journalist" can possess an illegal magazine, show it off on TV with impunity while a military vet who has an empty pre-ban mag in the trunk of his car gets arrested and threatened with 2 years in prison?

Maybe your problem is with WHITE LIBERALS, not normal white people. So shut up. Cause I don't care.

Hey question I am confused what happen to Mo Dowd here

I hear she bite in pot laced chocolate bar or she drank something didn’t not agree with her

[Mears]

I have only seen her once and it was on Letterman about 10 years ago.

She’s nuts.

Look what pot brownies did to Reverend Jim?

“I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing, touching my green corduroy jeans and staring at the exposed-brick wall.”

Could have been worse. Maureen could have been straining to remember where she was and what she was wearing while staring at the mirror. The horror...the horror...

Maureen Dowd was doing bong hits in college and servicing two at a time, though she purged that memory -liberals conveniently don’t do guilt.

[greene66]

This article on “white priviledge” is pathetic.

Maureen Dowd herself is pathetic.

Colorado, for becoming a dopehead state, is pathetic.

[RetiredTexasVet]

If you are stupid, it is best to keep your mouth shut and let them wonder rather than confirming it .... obviously she hasn’t learned much even after so many “teachable moments” in her drab undistinguished life.

[ruesrose]

Well I suppose obama is hearing about this for the first time through the media, huh?

[Pearls Before Swine]

What is the white privilege here? Can’t blacks visit Colorado and buy pot-laced candy?

Is the author advocating wider relaxed drug laws so blacks (and whites) won’t have to travel? Or does she just want to stick it to Whitey by having miserable drug laws everywhere?

Or is it a voting problem—only a white majority state would be privileged enough to relax drug laws?

I found this article to be logically incoherent.

[fr_freak]

I have some knowledge in this area, so let me help some of you get a better perspective on this stuff:

1) I have no doubt that mj grown now is much stronger than the 70s stuff. How much stronger? Who knows? But stuff now is stronger than stuff from 5 years or more ago, so we can do some interpolation.

2) Eating the stuff cooked into food (if done properly) is WAY more potent than smoking it. And by WAY more, I mean WAY WAY WAY more. The amount that a person could comfortably smoke in one sitting would put that person in a uncomfortable stupor if eaten.

3) One of the dangers of edibles is that, once you get stoned from eating it, you might get the munchies, and, lacking judgment, then snack on the remainder of the edibles. The snowball effect would be of monumentally horrendous proportions.

4) If, as Dowd claims, she had never tried pot before this, then her tolerance was low, but, more importantly, her understanding of its effects and what to expect would be zero. I find it hard to believe that anyone would be stupid enough, even Maureen Down, to try a drug for the first time alone in a different city. On top of it, she apparently ate a dose intended for several people at least and, mind you, each does is calibrated to get experienced users high.

What Dowd did (if her claims are true) would be the equivalent of a life-long tea-totaller going to a bar and slamming 16 shots of all the strongest liquors in the place (except too much weed won't kill you, while 16 shots at once probably will), then writing an article about how evil alcohol is.
