To mark the anniversary of recreational-marijuana stores opening in Washington, we look at The Seattle Times coverage of pot over the past 115 years.

I’m guessing it’s easy to tell the point when the Seattle Times “reporters” and “editors” began smoking the dope.

Pot Ping List!
Please let me know if you want on or off.
It’s interesting to see how they make clear that they are promoting pot and mocking all opposition to it.
The Seattle Times, and their political agenda.
Can I ask a stupid question? Is the left concerned about second hand smoke from marijuana? I know they pushed smoking bans due to concern about second hand smoke. But haven’t heard anyone express concern about open marijuana smoking and second hand smoke from pot. Just wondering g.
The sickly sweet smell of marijuana everywhere.
What is the AMA daily allowance for dope?
Can I guess that’s in the ‘60s?
Or at least, its immediate aftermath in the ‘70s....
Exactly.
The crucial question is how much does each cigarette affect anyone?
Tobacco - long-term effects for smoker and “neighbors”
Marijuana - immediate effects for smoker and “neighbors”
Would like to be on the ping list please :)
Wouldn’t smoke the stuff for love nor money but canna butter/cookies have saved me a fortune on depression meds.
Done!
Not aware of any concerns from the left about second hand smoke but I have heard a lot of people claim the reason they failed a UA was they were at a party where it was being smoked and they got a contact high.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. They are right on this. The only opposition comes from ignorant, uninformed propagandist statist thugs. Banning guns won't work! Ban weed! For crying out loud, that's even WORSE than libturd hypocrisy.
Banning abortion?
The reason for prohibition is right there in the subtitles...”Mexicans”. Those dirty Mexicans were smoking it and forcing it down the throats of average Americans, turning THEM into dirty Mexicans too!!! It must be banned!!!
At the bottom of the article is their interactive timeline. The very last page there has the article posted in it’s entirety. It was interesting to note that the government set up a commission to look into the purported effects of insanity and violent reactions and basically concluded they where unfounded and saw no reason to prohibit its use.
Banning transfats?
