Good for Mike Tyson!
Smaller government, more freedom, capitalism, states’ rights. Sounds good to me.
I could wish, really badly wish, that the worst vice in America was (excessive) marijuana smoking. God would truly have blessed America if that is the case. (I don’t smoke at all, I never cared to.)
We don’t cure a disease by band-aiding the symptoms.
Nor do we head down a road of virtue by ignoring history.
For your interest.
It’s better than spending his time beating and raping women..
Over fifty years ago my dad bought ten acres out in California City, California in a real estate scam. He still has it. Maybe Mike Tyson is our next door neighbor. LOL
When you have an intellectual heavyweight like Mike Tyson backing your concept, it can’t possibly fail.
Said no one ever.
As a child of the 60's (not a hippy), I indulged in pot quite frequently over the years until I grew up and joined the military. Here is what I saw and experienced with marijuana.
1. Pot is indeed a gateway drug. Most I knew went on to stronger drugs, always searching for a better or unique high. Pills that include benzedrine or methedrine known as "uppers" became the next step. Then it was the "downers" like reds, yellow jackets, black beauties, quaaludes, etc. Then it was a mix of the two that were called "speedballs". By then you have a seriously screwed up individual;
2. I can verify that studies that state chronic pot injestion does in deed cause loss of ambition. I witnessed it with numerous friends and associates. Some loss their jobs, or their families, or just lost all interest in their future or anything of worth in their lives. They would convince themselves that after their next high they would get their shit together. Sound familiar?;
2. Next up or at the same time were the hallucinogens like LSD, Poyote, Mushrooms. Those people got tired of that mind-twisting experience and wanted back to something more mellow which is No. 3 below.
3. Once they experienced the euphoric high of Heroin/Morphine/Opium it was all over, they were doomed.
4. Now it's all about crack cocaine or crystal meth, which not only screws up your thinking/lifestyle but destroys your body. Just watch the TV show "Cops" and you'll see those users with emaciated bodies and loss teeth they bust every episode.
5. Potheads like to claim they drive better than those under the influence of alcohol. Bullshit! They are both as impaired and dangerous, depending on the level of intoxication.
I will say it once again, marijuana IS a gateway drug. This is not going to end well for our Country.
Mike Tyson is a perfect role model for the marijuana lobby.
You have no iea...
Pollution in water & soil from the pot farms will get into aquifers & get blown to other soil.
Sooner or later-—ALL products grown in Calif will be contaminated to some extent by pot.
Citrus—Avocados—nuts- celery- strawberries- wheat- alfalfa fed to cows— rice- artichokes— dates—etc.
There is no controlling where contaminated water flows.
Rural properties that live on domestic wells will also be
affected.
The meager filter systems that can take SOME of these kinds of contaminates out of the water are expensive & not very effective.
Wait until all the Enviros find out that their endangered species will be drinking contaminated water within a few years.
There is no capping this contamination, IMO.
Dat should be some knock-out weed.
Carnac the Magnificent: “Fee fi fo fum.”
Ed ( repeats ) “Fee fi fo fum.”
Carnac ( opens envelope ) “How does Mike Tyson give out his phone number?”
The Feds should come in with their planes and spray Agent Orange on the pot fields.
