Not silly at all. Part of the agenda.

[mikey_hates_everything]

What to call Peyote?

[Ezekiel]

How many here think "blacks" when hearing or reading marijuana? Maybe if the term is ganja or spliff, I would.

I know that when I hear sinsemilla, I think "Carl Spackler."

[Does so]

Until I read this article, I NEVER associated the term “marijuana” with a race - White, Brown, Black, Yellow, Whatever.

I do associate it with dumbass people who smoke that sh!t, however!”

I asked a liberal neighbor if there was any kind of smoke that was good for you.

Of course, he answered “Ganja”.

“Not silly at all. Part of the agenda.”

Their agenda is silly because THEY are silly.

Is “Devil Weed” racist?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Must be because they are anti-racist.

If you live in a state named for a dead white slave owner, you shouldn’t be throwing racist stones.

Let’s all sing a verse from the Mexican Revolution version of “La Cucaracha”

La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar
porque no tiene, porque le falta
marihuana que fumar.

Ya murió la cucaracha
ya Spanish
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar
porque no tiene, porque le falta
marihuana que fumar.

The cockroach, the cockroach,
can no longer walk
because it is missing, because it does not have
a leg to walk.

The cockroach, the cockroach,
can’t walk anymore
because it’s missing, because it doesn’t have
its main leg.

The cockroach, the cockroach,
can no longer walk
because it lacks it, because it doesn’t have
marijuana to smoke.

The meter never pegs. That dimension is infinite.

Hey Jay! Marijuana, marijuana, marijuana! Look over there!
Marijuana, marijuana, marijuana!

Lefties are looney.

[HereInTheHeartland]

These people truly are mentally ill.

"The term 'marijuana' itself is pejorative and racist," Washington state Rep. Melanie Morgan, a Democrat who sponsored the bill, said

Looks like she's got the munchies.
