What an excellent idea. Marijuana users and criminals go hand-in-hand. Are you a doper? Then you’re more predisposed to lead a life of crime. Or is it the other way around? Because you’re a criminal at heart, you are also into marijuana.

It is probably an industry they are well versed in, so very little training would be required.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)

I think it is time for Bernie to drop the pretense of being an independent.

After you have run for the nomination to be the Democrat’s presidential candidate twice (or is it three times) you have got to give up the illusion that you are an independent.

Yes, he knows that at his core he is a communist but he also knows that everyone else in the Democrat Party is as well.

Yeah, Bernie Bolshevik, let’s dramatically increase both marijuana usage and spend billions more money that we don’t have. You’re as brilliant as that Occasional-Cortex gal who is such a big support of yours. And she has an economics degree! All you have is your hotel receipt from your honeymoon to Moscow.

Why would the Government need to spend money on this?

Shouldn’t the industry be the one to pay its help?

What kind of Federal training program is needed to sort and baggie buds?

“put alcoholics behind every bar.”

I’ve known a few who were bar owners or bartenders.

Why do we need to pay them to do it? They’ve been doing it anyway.
