'Legal Weed' is just beer, but Feds want to cap sales

WEED, Calif. — This town is in a tempest over a bottle top.

The federal government is telling the owner of a small brewery here that the pun he's placed on caps of his Weed Ales crosses a line.

The U.S. Treasury Department's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau says those three little words allude to marijuana use.

The Feds are saving us from falling into a life of drug-addled debauchery just by reading a bottle cap.

Meanwhile, 95 percent of all those driving over 70 years old, are all driving under the influence of pharmaceutical drugs and medications.

Hey, this is the INSANITY brought about by ALL of the supporters of the so-called War on Drugs.

Each and every one of them bears a SMALL degree of responsibility for this, whether they know it or not.

Instead of supporting the 10th Amendment of the US Constitution, they insist the Federal Goverment has some legitimate role in the enforcement of drug laws in the Interior US. They even support the idea that the Federal laws against pot supercede state laws.

Silly and malicious do-gooders, each and every one. Thjey have created a monster and are toooo stupid to see it.

Depends on the weed.

Good Razorbuds did it for me.

Siskiyou County has Local Sheriffs.Local town cops.California Highway Patrol. Federal Forest Cops and DEA cops. You can not spit in this county without hitting a cop. We have 30,000 citizens and 20,000 of them are cops. And they ALL need something to do. End Of Rant.

The bottle-top slogan of a brewer with a head for business in Weed, Calif., draws a warning from U.S. drug watchdogs.

I don't know what's more pathetic-

That our government is concerned with something so petty and silly,

or the high likelihood that several Freepers will applaud this nannyism.

If I had some Weed Beer, I’d keep it in the reefer!

[dynachrome]

I wonder if they still make and sell “Jeremiah Weed” whiskey?

[GOP_Raider]

I’ll buy a case if the rest of you will. :)

Instead of worrying about legal weed, how about stamping out illegal aliens?

[GOP_Raider]

Funny you should mention that, because if you believe Wikipedia guess who we have to thank???

"Mt. Shasta Brewing Co.
Thank you. Your order has been successfully processed."

Excellent idea. This will make a great gift for a relative who just turned 21.

If anyone else would like to contribute to this worthy cause, you can order here.

Same in rural counties of NM, and they all have NEW rigs with state-of-the-art equipment, which the assigned citizen-suppression operators drive to the donut shop, grocery store and dry cleaners whether in uniform or not.

These United States are a police state.
