Pot and booze--yes, that's the influence you have on me.<br /><br />@dinthebeast: "I feel the same way about pot as I do about gun violence: If you don't want anyone to find out what is really happening (with restrictions on research) then I have to wonder why you don't." That's why I joined <a href="http://crazyeddiethemotie.blogspot.com/2015/12/doctors-to-congress-fund-gun-violence.html" rel="nofollow">doctors asking Congress to fund gun violence research</a>.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27554065.post-18379113975914629132016-04-13T21:25:51.238-04:002016-04-13T21:25:51.238-04:00Banning marijuana and classifying it as dangerous ...Banning marijuana and classifying it as dangerous has always been absurd to the point of surreal. As long as this policy remains in place, no one should believe anything the government says on the subject.<br /><br />Alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana, and tobacco is far deadlier than either, yet we accept legal availability plus regulation as the best way of handling those. Let's hope sanity eventually prevails with other drugs.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27554065.post-7331335232165990222016-04-13T15:33:22.554-04:002016-04-13T15:33:22.554-04:00The drug war has always been a fraud, and I've... The drug war has always been a fraud, and I've watched a couple of good friends get murdered over it. I feel embarrassed that California is now the only state on the West Coast where marijuana isn't legal. I was born and raised in Humboldt County, so I have seen my share of marijuana use, although I haven't used it myself for decades. As far as the scheduling goes, I feel the same way about pot as I do about gun violence: If you don't want anyone to find out what is really happening (with restrictions on research) then I have to wonder why you don't.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.com
