Hey, man, I lost my car keys. Oh, well, can’t remember where I was going anyway. Give the bag of Doritoes and another hit on the bong.

Honestly, some of these people sound just like the panicked leftists who predicted blood in the streets if CCW laws were passed.

The stats are refuted, Obozoid.

I s’pose. Or Wavy Gravy or Cheech & Chong or any number of other `60s 70s stoners.
OK, my cousin the pharmacist-in-training had it on a wall poster, along with another poster that said, “Be careful what you smoke or drop.”
As long as they aren’t driving or working high, more power to `em.
