I went to Sonic to get me a 44. The car next to me was a couple of tokers blazing in the stall. Disgusting individuals, there was a NObama sticker on the car.
The “stopped clock” tells the correct time twice a day...
So what if it’s a hoax? Tax it. /s
Chocolate chip cookies or brownies.
Bloomberg is correct on this issue. “Medical marijuana” is all about legalizing getting stoned. There are far better prescription medications for controlling nausea, for example. Ironically, my most leftist Southern California friend decries “medical marijuana” as detrimental to his community (Venice, CA), and agrees it’s a big farce. Anyone can get stoned now with very little effort.
So when it helped my late wife develop an appetite and hold down a meal after chemo, that had no value, right Mikey?
Asshat, live through what I’ve lived through and you’ll know better first hand.
1. Yes, most people with 'medical marijuana' prescriptions from the local Dr. Feelgood are just a bunch of stoners pretending to be in pain and are secretly laughing about 'legally' getting high. Wuh huh huh.
2. Marijuana, over time, will indeed turn a lot of people into a lame-ass loser. No, I don't care how many dazzling professionals you know who partake of the Chiba on a regular basis.
3. Marijuana certainly does lead to harder drugs for a great many people. It's not the actual marijuana that does it, it's all about the part of hanging around creepy druggies who happen to have marijuana which leads to the hard drug underworld.
4. Physically, marijuana is harmful to one's health. Probably not as much as tobacco cigarettes over the long haul, but it still can't be good for you.
5. Marijuana doesn't make anyone gouge out their eyes or rape pre-teens or dance with negro jazz musicians any more than the marijuana smoker would already have a predilection to do so anyway.
6. Marijuana isn't necessarily [x] times more potent than it was 20, 30, 100, or 1000 years ago. That's just nonsense. However, if a person ingests cannabis/THC via eating it in larger amounts than typically smoked, it can cause even an conditioned marijuana smoker to hallucinate and remain under the effects for many hours compared to merely smoking it.
7. Any amount of marijuana is unsafe to drive a motor vehicle or operate dangerous machinery under it's effects. Still, even this isn't as bad as doing the same under the effects of alcohol.
8. Marijuana use *is* potentially making society stupider. Decriminalizing it won't be doing the country any favors, if you're one of those people who believes in some form of Nationalism in regards to sacrificing your personal liberty in deference of to duty to the state. As I grow older, I seem to becoming less and less enchanted with that notion because I'm recognizing that people in New England (for example) have little in common with myself about the role and limits of our Federal government.
9. Otherwise, considering all the points I listed above, the recreational use of marijuana is not precipitously dangerous or particularly harmful in comparison to other intoxicants available, both legal and illicit.
10. It's probably time to knock off the baloney and fully decriminalize the silly stuff at the Federal level. At least remove marijuana from being regarded at the Federal level as a 'Schedule 1 hallucinogenic or psychedelic substance' that prompts militarizing podunk police forces with SWAT gear and MRAP armored vehicles using Federal tax dollars. Let the states do what they may on the issue as Justice Clarence Thomas opines on the matter in 'Gonzales vs. Raich'. I don't know if most Americans likewise agree, but the difference between pro- and anti- isn't enormous.
Well, something in which Bloomingidiot and I can finally agree.
What is available instead is not so great for terminal patients, with numerous side effects that are very unpleasant. Who cares if a dying person cannot drive? They're not going to drive anyway.
The Mayor is never correct and can leave for hell now.
I’m sure he does believe in taxing it at say 35% though.
From what I have observed, first hand, in Colorado, Medical Marijuana is most definitely a hoax.
