Here's another case where the blind squirrel finds a nut.
Then again, here's the typical stupid non scientific decision...
<snip vids>
Abolish the DEA! What about states' rights, Rebugi-cans, hmmm.... ? Weed makes you paranoid? Huh? Has this fuck-wit even tried it himself? Here's the deal, Rags has done lots and lots of weed. Weed does not make Rags paranoid. Weed makes Rags mellow. Booze OTOH, makes Rags pissy.
The weed thing is where the Social Conservatives have their panties in a wad. What's interesting is, Kaintuck Bourbon is A-OK but the EEEEEEEEEEEEvil Mary-hoooo-geee-wannna is the DEVVVVVVil's weed!
In truth, I think it's due to association of weed with hippies, The Left, places like Boulder, and, the Netherlands. In the land of SoCon memes, those are all bad things. Whereas, the ol' Kaintuck or if you prefer, TN whiskey, now that is for real Americans ... the nectar of good ol' boys.
I happen to like both weed and drink (the latter in great moderation).
The only "anti" substance use people I respect are ones who personally teetotal for religious reasons or personal preference.
But dang ... don't tell me what to put in my body!
Yes, we certainly agree, there XY_4AD_84
1. Ethanol has lethal overdose property. Weed does not have this. Weed also does not induce physical damage to the body if eaten. In fact weed is a rich source of
antioxidants. So, that means almost anyone, anyone can benefit from the use a edible weed products.
2. Social conservatives: OK, let's get to brass tacks. Oklahoma has a plethora of assorted "Social Conservatives". These are our nattering nabobs of nagging.
Yes, for sure, they have their panties in a wad and they just can't stop meddling in other folks' lives. I despise them.
3. Okiehoma/Kaintuck/Sooouth/ etc. Yeah, like I do a lot, I pan these meddlers quite often here. Yeah, "state's rights... except assorted "moral" crap. Sorta off topic, my youngest sister finally got diagnosed with some sort of thyroid lump. It's taken our wahoo what passes for Oklahoma's public health system to finally get something right.
She has 0, yes 0 thyroid hormone levels along with bipolar disorder [which I also have] . This is her 6th trip to the wacky ward here. The question I have is what's moral about her situation? Will God™ make her well? This nonsense just drives me nuts. I'm sick of Oklahoma's Senators voting down Senator Sander's bill to allow folks to get drugs from Canada/Mexico because .... our so called free market Senators seem to be on the take on Big Pharma. So.. what's free market about restricting drug purchasing to only Big Pharma? I see nothing but hypocrisy. Here's some more obscure scientific stuff:
Sativa, Sativus, and Sativum are Latin botanical adjectives meaning cultivated, used to designate certain seed-grown domestic crops.
"Cannabis sativa" means cultivated cannabis. So, since Oklahoma is having drought problems, why not plant hemp instead of cotton?

4. Since weed if eaten has negligible health effects, whats the damn problem? Religious whackos should not infringe in my take of the first amendment , which is freedom FROM crackpot religion.
5. Whiskey, LOL, what about moonshine?
6. Yup, I should be able to put whatever in my body as long it does not infringe on other folks. That means I should be able to consume weed as long as I do it at home and don't drive.
/Sorry for the tangents, but yeah, I get pissed off. Just ask Eric, when he's 10 foot tall.
