This Explains a Lot

We knew this at some level, mostly because of the smell....it's everywhere!

  • A growing portion of Americans are reporting daily and near-daily marijuana use, in numbers now higher than the share of daily and near-daily alcohol drinkers, according to a new analysis.

    About 17.7 million people in 2022 recorded daily or nearly daily use of marijuana, compared to the 14.7 million who reported the same habits for alcohol, marking the first time in the past 30 years that daily marijuana use exceeded alcohol use, according to an analysis published Wednesday that looks at data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

    “A good 40% of current cannabis users are using it daily or near daily, a pattern that is more associated with tobacco use than typical alcohol use,” the study’s author, Jonathan Caulkins, a cannabis policy researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, told The Associated Press.

All those weed taxes....have they paid for a single thing yet?

We remember some study, years ago, that said weed smokers eventually made themselves sterile. We've been hoping that was true for almost three decades now.

The sterility theory doesn't seem valid, still plenty of breeding by the people who shouldn't. The only real consequence is the dumbing down of the masses, just like the politicians want it.

Not only that a lot of the weed stores got rid of police officers and hired in unarmed security guards that are woke! Cutting the pay to 1/2 what it was or less what kind of quality do you think you’re gonna get? But however, these are the same type of security guards that Brandon needs to hire. Why are we paying over 150 coppers well over $150,000 plus all the overtime. His detail is costing us tens of millions of dollars why? He is a progressive clueless clown. No one is going after him. He does everything the left wants.

Go to New Buffalo MI. There are now at least 10 pot shops within a minute of each other and all with lines out the door. There's more being built too. One of you brave, brave officers busted me once because I stepped into a park to THROW AWAY a beer can in the trash. So, is smoking pot legal in parks? Because open containers of alcohol isn't.

Weed smokers are hurting America. Cps teachers should be tested and fired for pot use, just like CPD.
Most weed smokers have 10 other things f’d up about themselves .....generally hygiene.
Cooks that are weed smokers f up food orders all the time.

Weed legalization was done for three reasons:

1.)Cash cow for the connected
2.) Keep the populace docile and stupid
3.) Decriminalize Dude to the greatest extent possible.

It was never about taxes.

One thing that is ‘overlooked’ by the “weed isn’t dangerous , weed isn’t addictive” crowd is this:

The weed being sold in pot shops has as much as 12 TIMES the THC as ‘natural’ pot from the 60s and 70s.

At that level, it is both dangerous and addictive.

Totalitarian politicians, which Democrats are, want their population dumb and high. You see that with the legalization of drugs and the poor schools. Claiming taxes will help the state is to try to placate people that still have brains working.

Will always remember the "man on the street" interview on WBBM concerning legalized dope years ago.
Quite a few to most sounded like stoners, easily.
At the end, the last person, clearly an immigrant (Middle East?) said "Why would you put a carcinogen in your body?" The only smart, intelligent person in the feature!

I have to ask: where were you drinking the beer that you chose to dispose of the can in a park? You drank a beer at home and then went to the park to get rid of the can? Something isn't quite adding up. You're going to say you found the can and you were helping pick up litter now, right? The beer can was in your car from that time when you were drinking in your driveway? Let's hear it.

AA is only successful 10% of the time. Are some of you actually claiming that pot causes more issues than booze? Potheads, if it is just pot, are fairly docile. I’ve never seen one hitting his wife and kids, I’ve never seen one try to fight the Bouncers. I’ve never seen one with a hangover. I’ve never had to talk down a jealous pothead. I’ve never talked to one that had no recollection of their activities the night before. In my experience, they tend to stay home and play video games. I know several self made millionaires that smoke a joint after work and go to bed early. I have several family members that run very successful businesses and have been smoking daily since they were teens. It all depends on the person. That rule doesn’t apply in the Chicago ghetto, those people ruin everything.

No, it's not harmless at all. But, they (the ruling class) convinced the useful idiots that smoking the Devils Lettuce is/can be therapeutic.

Along the way those in the ruling class continue to make billions of dollars while addicting new classes of useful idiots.

If you have kids pay attention.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK549915/

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is a condition in which a patient experiences cyclical nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain after using cannabis. This disorder is characterized by 1) several years of preceding cannabis use, predating the onset of illness; 2) a cyclical pattern of hyperemesis every few weeks to months, at which time the patient is still using cannabis and 3) resolution of the symptoms after cessation of cannabis use, confirmed by a negative urine drug screen. The almost pathognomic aspect of a patient's presenting history is that their symptoms are relieved by hot baths or shower.

Relax Mr. Colombo cop. So you prioritize fucking with someone who is drinking a can of beer over violent crime? No wonder why the crime keeps increasing in Chicago year over year. I have a great deal of respect for most police officers. But not for you Mr. Colombo Cop.

That was ditchweed.

The science of this plant has been so thoroughly understood by now that all of it's useful to humans qualities are well known, with this specific use being only one of them.

12 times as dithchweed is an underestimate. At least 12 times would be more accurate.

So you were underage and drinking on the public way, but the police were wrong? At least you called yourself dumb, but you don't seem to realize the extent of it. You held onto this hatred for 44 years only to post it here as some kind of gotcha moment? And then you follow it up with a "my dad could beat you up" taunt? How pathetic is your life?

Nope. And I wasn't there 44 years ago when this crybaby was "fucked with" for admittedly breaking the law, but I can guarantee you the officer in question didn't ignore some violent crime that was occurring in order to bust the underage drinker. You think there was a murder happening in the park, but the officer decided to ignore it and grab the kid with the beer can? Are you that out of touch with reality? You think crime is out of control because police are enforcing laws? You respect most police officers, but blame them for crime being out of control? You're incapable of realizing how dumb you sound. Did you see his "my dad could beat you up" nonsense? And he's been holding onto this hatred over a minor inconvenience caused by his own actions for 44 years! Maybe he'll let you borrow his clown shoes, since you're both a couple of bozos.
