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.

Were you a stoner back in the day? Are you still a stoner today? I don't have a problem with pot smokers. Hell, half of my friends are still pot smokers today. I actually took your position with them (the active pot smokers) figuring that they would all support legalizing pot. I was surprised when they looked at me funny like I was fricken crazy and more surprised when they all opposed the idea of legalizing pot (the idea of allowing pot to be made available to the public for mass consumption). We were in early/mid twenties at the time. Evidently, their minds must have already shifted towards adult life with a significant other/married life and starting families, raising kids and all the stuff that's related to it. I can't speak for you but I grew up at a time when there was pot smoking going on every where during when it was supposebly illegal. Pot smoking at school bus stops. Pot smoking in school buses. Pot smoking on the walk home from school or the bus stop. Pot smoking inside cars before and after school. I don't see it going on as much in public as I did during the 1980's. I think it's a good sign that society has moved on myself.

I've seen weed make some people paranoid. I've seen weed make some people fall a sleep. I've seen weed make people get really goofy and obnoxious. I've seen weed make people really calm and mellow. I've seen weed make people really happy and make them do some hilarious stuff. I liked those kind of pot smokers the best. I assume that you've been around as many pot smokers as me. If not, you shouldn't base your pot smoking experience relating to effect it has on you as being the same as every one else who smokes it.

1.  The 1962 cohort is/was the largest cohort as per Strauss/Howe for weed smokers.

2. Yes.  I am/was the a "stoner".

3. Marijuana was/is at least where I'm at a drug that's just fine to use in a recreational manner. I'll tell you that pot use hasn't gone away. In fact, the 1962 cohort, moi included is the number 1 weed users.

4. Everyone hasn't taken the path of getting hitched , having kids, etc. We're not like our parents. I don't think rules wrt drug use should be applied on an universal basis.

5. Pot use was all over the place in the 1970's/1980's. I've also partaken in using other drugs. Like I said, I was in the "stoner" group. I've done it all. I've used booze, weed, speed, downers, etc. I can see regulation of stuff like speed/opiates/downers. Pot has a side effect profile that's a lot less harmful than booze. That's a scientific fact.

6. OK, like I've alluded to above, the 1962 and cohorts adjacent have all been heavy pot users. In fact, here's my coming of age experience. There was a 3 hour gap between work hours when I and my co-workers would go to the local drive in, get a bunch of beer and pot. We got totally wasted before going back to work. It was all good. Nothing bad happened. That means I have a sample size of 15 teenagers/young adults. So it's that , I base pot use on. I also read medical journals online as to what the effects, both positive/negative are.   Note, I also make a pot infusion. I grind pot really fine, mix it with ethylene glycol , and drink it. I have hay fever and smoking pot is quite irritating.

7. With all of that said, no government agency / religious zealots have no right what so ever to dictate what I put in my body. Can you agree to this? You have a business, right? Should government decide who you hire? Should government decide how you conduct your life? As for myself, should government decide what I do with my body? Should government decide how I conduct my life? Should religious organizations decide how I conduct my life? Here's my take. You should conduct your business in a manner that maximizes your profits and wellbeing. You owe nothing to snowflakes. You owe nothing to political correctness. If some snowflake tells you how to run your business, I'm with you. You have a right to ignore said snowflakes. Now for myself, I also demand the right to use any substance for any reason I think useful. Government has no right to interfere with my rights... or yours.
