In the movie Jaws, the Roy Scheider character (Chief Brody) famously declares "we're gonna need a bigger boat." With today's Democrat party, they're going to need a much bigger clown car.
Democrat "thought leaders," influencers, politicos, and voters all speak the same progressive patois -- sustainability, equity, intersectionality, cultural appropriation, white fragility, and of course racism. United in kneejerk conformity, they have all mastered the vernacular of victimhood and meaningless platitudes.
Bumper sticker slogans abound, and yard signs -- science is real; love is love -- loudly proclaim Democrat voters' cheap moral virtue and confirm their mindless banality. It would be like former MSNBC zealot Keith Olbermann, perhaps the worst person in the world, hooking up with Charles Manson to sing “We Are Family” -- or maybe just hooking up, or practicing a pansexual twerking routine, or something.
Lost in a counterfactual wilderness of lies, the progressive volk always have their panties in a bunch. On a given day, they just know that Mike Lindell and his pillows represent a direct threat to global democracy.
If Oracle co-founder and 2nd tier billionaire Larry Ellison donates a few million dollars for a conservative cause, that's illegitimate dark money and progressives are aghast; however, if 1st tier billionaire George Soros gives tens of billions of dollars to far left progressive causes, that's not dark money, it's philanthropy.
The tattooed wastrels of Antifa, most of them hideously ugly middle-aged white men, have engaged in a years-long orgy of rioting, defacing, and destroying once vibrant downtowns nationwide.
Violently attacking and sometimes murdering innocent passersby, vandalizing public and private property, toppling statues, and throwing containers of feces (chimpanzees are also known to throw feces) has earned Antifa the admiration of a majority of (D) voters.

“Per progressive demands, psychotropic drugs are widely legalized. Now Democrats demand that everybody take an evidently sham vaccine of unproven efficacy with known harmful side effects.”
There’s a lesson in there...

“Per progressive demands, psychotropic drugs are widely legalized.”
One psychotropic drug has been legal for all but 14 years of our nation’s history.
There Marxists, not Progressives.
“One psychotropic drug has been legal for all but 14 years of our nation’s history.”
Yes, but psychotropic only as alcohol is a depressant. And yes again, as it’s effects are well described, well known, well experienced and generally catastrophic only to the individual and/or family.
Alcohol taken in pregnancy can produce a drunken infant.
Marijuana in pregnancy frequently produces loss of the child.
In general, adding this drug (or any other dangerous drug) with a relatively short history to the world’s greatest population of Democratic Republicanism can be expected to be pernicious—particularly when taken with alcohol.
However, I’d recommend Marijuana to ALL of America’s enemy militaries.

“well described, well known, well experienced”
Well known to be harmful, yup.
“generally catastrophic only to the individual and/or family.”
How does marijuana use affect those beside the user and family in a way alcohol doesn’t?
“Interaction between Psychotropic Medications and Alcohol”
You understand that these are legally prescribed medications, right? Do you want to ban them because of the alcohol interaction?
“How does marijuana use affect those beside the user and family in a way alcohol doesn’t?”
We don’t have the 200+ years of US alcohol use history to determine, say, the ‘effects on human DNA from Marijuana use’.
(i.e., excepting spontaneous abortion).
The textbook, “History of Marijuana” has yet to be written.
“Interaction between Psychotropic Medications and Alcohol:
You understand that these are legally prescribed medications, right? Do you want to ban them because of the alcohol interaction?”
The study, “Interaction between Psychotropic Medications and Alcohol: Perceptions among Patients Attending an Adult Mental Health Day Hospital Program” doesn’t state which medications were legal.
Ever notice that PEDOPHILES are always arrested with Marijuana in their possession? (An association Marijuana-Pushers should cringe from).
You’ll recall that famed Canadian performer Justin Bieber combined alcohol+Marijuana+Ferrari, resulting in his arrest by Miami Beach Police—and not a minute too soon!
Famed actor Robert Downey, Jr. was given Marijuana at age 8 by his [now] late father. Rehabilitation centers flourished.
What is it about Marijuana that causes its users to become “Pushers”? I first heard of its malignant powers while the shipmate/user and I were both subject to restrictions of a US Navy “Top Secret—Codeword” clearance.
EVERYTHING I labored for during the “Cold War” in geotracking Russian Nuclear submarines was publicly disclosed in TIME magazine!
China and Russia profited in BILLION$ of dollars—I should have turned him in.
:(
Doctors too. Their weed is an amazing cure for everything! THC is not just a mind drug, it's a mind virus.
“The textbook, “History of Marijuana” has yet to be written.”
So there is no reason to believe marijuana use affects those beside the user and family in a way alcohol doesn’t.
“doesn’t state which medications were legal.”
If some of them were, as is doubtless the case, my question stands: Do you want to ban them because of the alcohol interaction?
“You’ll recall that famed Canadian performer Justin Bieber combined alcohol+Marijuana+Ferrari, resulting in his arrest by Miami Beach Police—and not a minute too soon!”
That’s as much an argument for banning alcohol as for banning marijuana.
Before my bungled cataract surgery, my Ophthamologist was wild-eyed-ecstatic about a new application of THC to eye surgery.
I shoulda taken notes. :(
When you can have TWO psychotropic drugs fulfilling your goals at the same time?
Whereas you should be clamoring for zero ... yet you don’t.
Two wolves and a sheep have decided that for me.
Meanwhile, friends who consume alcohol are still living, while the “tokers” I have associated with have died off—except for one—who is still on oxygen, and hasn’t left his house in months.
Since he has no children, he hasn’t passed along the epigenetic factors that leads to stronger drugs.
“the “tokers” I have associated with have died off”
I’ve known many, none of whom have died.
“the epigenetic factors that leads to stronger drugs.”
ROTFLMAO!
“Epigenetic changes aren’t unique to marijuana. Hurd’s team recently published a pattern of epigenetic changes they found in the brains of human heroin users (3) that affected the activity of genes that regulate glutamatergic signaling”
“I’ve known many, none of whom have died”.
I’ve known the dying while they suffer.
Meanwhile, your toker friends survive—a case of “confirmation-bias”?
“There is a large body of evidence showing that alcohol can modify gene expression through epigenetic processes [...] The alcohol-mediated chromatin remodeling in the brain promotes the transition from use to abuse and addiction.” - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30412425
‘a case of “confirmation-bias”?’
Right back at ya.
"Marijuana" (which I understand has now been "George-Orwelled" to a racist term) just "piles on" to the load borne by alcohol.
