Well, well. That explains a lot, and as a high school teacher, I think this is just a confirmation of my own suspicions.

Looks like there are some things kids can’t handle that adults can. Go figure. I’m just glad the weed dealers card their customers.

Hmm. The kids I knew who smoked dope were not exactly prime specimens to begin with.

Since teens report that they can get pot more easily than beer or cigarettes, it looks like the most effective way to keep pot out of teens' hands (and still-developing brains) is to legalize it for adults - so sellers have an incentive not to sell to kids (namely, the loss of their legal adult sales).

Smokin' On The Choom Gang

(To the melody of Sam Cooke's "Workin' On The Chain Gang")

I hear someone singin'
(Hook-Ah! - Hook-Ah!)
(Hook-Ah! - Hook-Ah!)

Well, don't you know
That's the sound of the boys smoking on the Choom Ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the boys smoking on the Choom Gang

All day long they're singin'
(Hook-Ah! - Hook-Ah!)
(Hook-Ah! - Hook-Ah!)

Well, don't you know
That's the sound of the boys smoking on the Choom Ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the boys smoking on the Choom Gang

All day long they deal so hard
Till the sun is goin' down
Dealin' in the schoolyards and hallways
And always, they be feelin' down
You can see them smokin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ay

That's the sound of the boys smoking on the Choom Ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the boys smoking on the Choom Gang

Can't ya hear them singin'
Mm, I'm goin' home - one of these days
I'm goin' home to find my mama
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I be choomin' right he-ere

Well, don't you know
That's the sound of the boys smoking on the Choom Ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the boys smoking on the Choom Gang

All day long they're singin', mm
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my schoolwork is so hard
Give me donuts - I need sugar
Rollin' "J's" is just so hard

And look at a huge number of his supporters who are also people who burned out their brains in their formative years. The effects are obvious when you see a 20 something Obama Zombie.

Reduce creation of future Democrats - legalize pot for adults!

The fact that the weed plant is a bullet proof weed that anyone can grow, means that when it becomes legal, it will not be taxed and everyone with an apartment, or home, or bare spot in the woods, that wants to grow the best pot among their peers, will be doing so and openly sharing it with each other.

They become Ron Paul supporters constantly talking about a war on drugs as they munch away I suppose.

Adolescents will be growing pot in their homes?

or bare spot in the woods, that wants to grow the best pot among their peers,

Growing the best pot is not simple; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_cultivation for what's involved.

will be doing so and openly sharing it with each other.

Nobody who dislikes jail will be sharing with minors.

Growing great pot is as easy as pie, easier than growing great tomatoes, that is why it is often grown in closets and spare bedrooms, and America is full of people in apartments and homes,and bare patches of ground, and teens know them.

Free pot can be grown in the backyard, but one can use something as simple as this for year round production of enough to keep him and his buddies going with plenty left over.

“”Since teens report that they can get pot more easily than beer or cigarettes,””

“”Nobody who dislikes jail will be sharing with minors.”” (if it becomes legal, and ubiquitous, and grown everywhere)

Huh?
