The Northeast and Northwest are the only parts of this country where people have any damn sense.

The rest of this country is still run by retrograde Bible thumpers.

That’s exactly what they want him to do. This is a major provocation. They want a showdown.

Why is it that our government vilifies a harmless plant that has wonderful medical uses, and yet allows opioids to be distributed like candy? It is very clear that big pharma is running the country through political puppets and their profit is more important than the lives of people.
No, you have it wrong, its the DEA and drug cartels that have the real power. Back in 2012 the DEA enacted new prescription drug laws that basically 'stole' all the opioid profits away from the big pharma companies and handed all that business over to the drug cartels (former pill addicts switched to heroin once doctors stopped writing scripts).

So you can see big pharma is not that powerful, not to mention, not a single pharma company tried to legally challenge the 2012 drug laws, this was at a time when opiates were flying off the shelves, addicts were willing to pay 100X the retail price, thats pretty clear how low on the totem pole they are.

Sad day for the good, law-abiding, family people in Vermont. I’m guessing most did not move there to live in Jamaica. Pot is not harmless, it kills users and bystanders alike, it has little medicinal value, and it’s sad that governments are now supporting drugs because they can get more tax revenue by becoming the dealer.

Lol. Nice retort. I have no interest in the issue as I don’t need drugs to live my life. I’ve posted endless evidence of people dying from pot (the recent sad story about the baby), the people who kill on pot (face eaters), the negative health impacts (scromitting), and many others. But no one needs to decide between me and high times magazine. Just look at countries with strong drug laws against pot (ie. Singapore) and countries with lax drug laws like the US. Compare their crime rates and get back to me.

Actually that's alcohol and opiates. You know, the legal ones...

You mean like the crime rates in Mexico? The crime rates in the US during prohibition?


Somebody should drop you off in certain neighborhoods in our cities. You know what the #1 industry is in those communities?

If you want to live in Singapore, please go! I might even help by buying you the airline ticket.

In the meantime, this face-eating, scromitting baby killer will continue to enjoy watching freedom (slowly) spreading across this nation.
