Duuude! I got the munchies. Run out and get me a felafel. Extra humus.

Oh, and get some fries with that.

And a pickle.

Good on ‘em. I read on the cover of Navy Times sitting on the magazine rack at the checkout on base at the Navy Exchange here a couple of days ago that the FDA has approved trials of the use of cannabis for treatment of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) in vets. Just because something can be abused doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have medical utility. Otherwise, why would substance abuse experts pontificate on people’s “self-medicating”? If cannabis can relieve the post-traumatic stress of combat, why in the he!! can’t it be used to relieve post-bad-day-at-the-office stress?? There are substances out there that are way, way, WAY more dangerous than this common plant. Maybe if law enforcement were to focus their efforts on those items, they might be able to make a substantial dent in products/substances that are causing the really grave harm to society.
“Jail: Marijuana’s only bad effect” may be cliche and overlooks some of the pitfalls of its use, but it is a lot closer to the truth than the bs we’ve been spoon-fed on this issue for the last 80 years or so.
As a federalist, I say let the individual states decide how they want to treat the cultivation, possession and use of this relatively benign drug. After all, it’s way safer than having an ineligible Marxist usurper in control of the country!

How about a marijuana felafel. Add marijuana leaves to the chickpea balls before frying them?
