    Yeah, but what I want to know is what happened to the Taco trucks on every street. It’s closing in on lunch.

      Just think of how marijuana legalization would help the taco truck industry!

    So… If the school is underwater, the joints will be ruined? 4d chess move right there!

    Also:

    How the court let that language on the ballot, I will never understand. You read the language, it does not do justice.

    Yeah, IMAGINE, allowing people to decide, for themselves, if they want actual freedom. I mean, there is just no justice any more.

    Leary said: “LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.”

    I think this applies just as much to something like the Devil’s lettuce.

      You think weed causes psychotic behavior? I’ve seen lots of reactions from weed… But psychotic is not a word I would use to describe any of them… Someone on a bad hallucinogenic trip that they can’t handle can definitely enter into a psycho episode though (unfortunately I have seen that).

          Bah! First thing in the morning eyes! I didnt understand why you were getting upvotes. Ok fair enough. I’m gonna leave my mistake there anyhow. Drugs are great, I’m glad we are all in agreement!

      I can’t even imagine being a full-grown adult who doesn’t know what it feels like to have consciousness altered by drugs.

      It’s like meeting someone who was born in a car, and they’ve just never ever gotten out of that car.

      Like there’s a door in your wall marked “to alien universe” and you just walked by it for 40 years and never wanted to peek inside? What?

    If only there were states that passed similar laws that we could look at to see how things played out.

    Oh wait. We do. And none of this shit happened.

      The Florida government loves nothing more than a bunch of kids to get gunned down in a school shooting, as it means they can route that more money to police and less money to students.

      Ok, how about we compromise and have teachers armed with joints to protect the kids from the drug dealers?

      The best defense against a bad guy with a joint is a good guy with a joint.

      I’m okay with banning anything to ban guns. Or, at least threatening it.

      Maybe someone should try to pass a law with a ban on all contraceptives, abortion pills, and rainbow flags…… with a gun ban tacked onto it. See how much they really care.

    Reminds me of the fear mongering a conservative family member was spouting when my state legalized weed. She was going on and on about how car accidents were going to “skyrocket” because everyone would be driving high. We’ve been legalized for about four years now, the first time I heard about any high driving incident was a couple of weeks ago when two people died. Now, obviously the number of high drivers is probably more than that, and any kind of intoxicated driving is irresponsible, but that’s the first time I heard a case make the news, meanwhile NHTSA says an average of 37 people die due to drunk driving per day.

      Alcohol is pretty unique as a drug in causing car accidents. Most other drugs will either relax/sedate you enough so you don’t want to go out (opiates, ketamine), make you anxious enough so you won’t want to drive (cannabis, hallucinogens), or stimulate you enough so that if you do drive you probably won’t be that bad (coke, meth). Only alcohol will keep you up enough to socialize, confident enough to drive, and impaired enough to crash. Even if you were to legalize all drugs alcohol would still probably be the largest cause by far for impaired driving accidents.

        Guns aren’t too concerning by themselves, but I think we all know a few teachers from our school years that should never, ever own one.

          Yup we had one go nuts and dump out all our cubbies in 6th grade, because too many of us forgot to bring out work and she was convinced we hadn’t done it and left it in our bags.

          She retired at the end of that year.

          I had another in HS that threw a hammer at a kid (it was a vocational class), that annoyingly put me off a career in the trades. I wish now that I’d stuck with it. I much prefer working with my hands over temporarily organizing pixels.

            It’s never to late to start. We just had a guy who was 45, and worked in an office his entire career, join our apprenticeship. Being a union electrician is a great gig. Our pay is great and the benefits are awesome.
