Yeah. So it’s say $50 an eighth.

It was 30 - 40 in the mid 80’s.

it hasn’t kept up with inflation.

late 70’s was $20 an oz- a nickel bag was 1/4th of an oz. (Mexican)

it went up to 40 an ounce in the 80’s (Columbian)

it is around 240 an ounce now and has stayed that way since the 90’s (high grade breeds - I have no ide where they came from it is some STRONG shi...)

$5,000 to $10,000 per head

I wonder how much of a cut our congress critters get. That kind of money isn't going to be ignored.

"Sounds like the obfuscatory rhetoric of the left"

LMAO! If you would just put that blunt down long enough to clear you mind, you wouldn't have this paranoid perception that everybody is a leftist.

America has made a habit of tolerating the intolerable and we are going to pay heavily for that ....

it was obviously a grass roots effort actually carried out by the peasantry from the bottom, up.

The text you quote doesn't support your claim.

As his link shows, the Chinese solution was "street committees" and "re-education" - that is, communism. Is that what you're advocating for the United States of America?

I'm advocating sobriety via due process.

Sounds like the obfuscatory rhetoric of the left [text omitted by indthkr:] - what in practice would it mean?

LMAO! If you would just put that blunt down long enough to clear you mind, you wouldn't have this paranoid perception that everybody is a leftist.

More rhetorical diversions - you out-squirm most leftists. What in practice would "sobriety via due process" mean?

I'm also advocating draconian "controls" on individuals or enterprises (including governments) that enable and profit from the production and sale of products whose sole purpose is mind-altering recreation.

Like alcohol?

Well?

Why not cut out the middleman and ban leftism?

exactly

How would that work? Any First Amendment issues there?

Time will also show that life long MJ use results in early onset of dementia / senility .

Like regular lifelong drinking.

sobriety is preferable

But not at the point of a government gun.

America has made a habit of tolerating the intolerable

Like drinking, and leftist free speech?
