B-b-but Libby, marijuana is a DRUG!!!!!
It's really bad,
this I know,
for the state,
tells me so.
If legalized, there would not be enough munchies for the rest of us!
Think it through, woman, and thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for the DEA!
LOL Mona. I'm singing halleujah for wars that are never meant to be won.
Oh, so you laugh, you verily taunt me, do you? Look Ms. Spencer, cannabis plants have grown naturally throughout parts of the world since teh dawn of human history, including all over these here United States. And what has the result been, hmmmm?
A bunch of homicidal maniacs in the 1930s, who by the 1950s had mutated into being Kremlin-facilitated pacifists, but who in any event damn well eat all the Cheetos.
Carpet-bombing California is the obvious start of a solution in this dire war. Indiana and Kentucky next, and then Canada. If, that is, you realize we are really at war and you have the guts to do that which war necessitates.
Sometimes if you are down a smoke of pot can really be a ray of sunshine. You can hang out, play some music and just relax.
ROFLMAO Mona. I'm seeing the light. I'm ready to join the fight and personally burn every last plant - and I promise not to inhale.
The Prov - If memory serves, and you know it does because it's well known that the evil weed enhances long term memory, the expression goes: Pot will get through times of no money better than money will get you through times with no pot.
Libby. As usual, the statistics are WAAAY overblown in the initial report and as usual, it is for the purpose of making the effects of the "War on Drugs" WAAAY more effective than it really is. If you take the figures given, (11.6 Billion worth of drugs) and the number of plants, (3 million), then you find out that apparently, each plant had a street value of $38,666. In order for this to be true, the plant would have to be of the "Highest" quality and probably make the Giant Redwoods there look like little weeds. (Pardon the Pun). That probably would have been how they were able to spot them too.
Pat I agree completely. It's always been one of my biggest gripes about the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT when they bust a small field of plants. But even if you use more realistic figures, we're still talking billions in revenues versus billions in tax dollar expenditures for a program that hasn't acheived its goal in 80 years.
