Test your mettle

Marijuana helping women have babies for centuries. Queen Victoria used it for menstrual cramps. Lobby in the USA made it illegal for Dupont corporation, synthetic rope replaced hemp rope.


Per Ardua ad Astra

A lot of schools around the country are introducing pot classes. If you look at the available class list for CU or other colleges in general there are a ton of these elective courses that cover just about any and every topic on the books.

This state (and soon the entire country) are irrevocably fucked.

I used to be on the fence with legalization. Kinda had a libertarian take on weed. I've changed my tune. I think much of society is not equipped for unfettered access to weed. I see literally 20 people a day smoking while driving. Someone sprayed some Pam on the already slippery slope.

I've had a libertarian take on the prosecution but have always been wholly opposed to outright legalization and promotion of it. It's never been healthy. I knew it would change our political landscape and attract tons of shitty people to move to CO.

I think the ideal middle ground would've been no jail/prison sentences but massive fines . People could still smoke with the only serious risk to their wallet, and it wouldn't be promoted as beneficial to society.
Look around Portland and 16th street in Denver. Things that impede motivation result in a decent fraction of the users become a leech upon society.

China does not have these issues. I guess I look a few decades ahead, though :/

Those sorts of vagrants aren't smoking weed. Even when weed was only illegal black market, it cost a lot more than the drugs these folks use.

It certainly wasn't weed that made the addict get into an argument with a ghost across the street from my work and then take his pants off when the argument got real serious.

And it wasn't weed that made the other crackhead wave around a machete in our parking lot crying about people trying to kill him. Or the guy banging on our door begging to be let in because there are monsters outside.

It's not weed that requires literal hazmat gear when homeless camps are cleaned up.

And I guarantee it's not the suburban professional buying $50 weed gummy bears at the dispensary on Friday night that turns into a fentanyl addict on 16th St mall next month.

(Fentanyl pills are like <$5 according to a drug interdiction team guy I know).

My office is surrounded by this shit and none of them are smoking weed.
I'm no fan of weed, but it's not the root of our societal problems.

The lack of motivation shown by these people isn't the drugs. It's that fact that it's EASY to live that life because they will be given money, food, phones, shelter anytime they need it. Hell, in some places they'll even be given the drugs and a "safe" place to use them. Why be a productive member of society when it's so easy not to? Motivation comes from need, these people don't need anything because it's all given to them.

This story will cheer you up. I think the author smoked one before they wrote the article. 10 O'Glock rock!

I guess everyone can graduate if their major is smoking pot...

How CU has lowered the bar.
