Huge Marijuana Smoke Cloud Over Denver

LMAO! Thought this was going to be The Onion at first.



Notice the Newspeak. Young drug users...yet those using the drug called alcohol are not described as drug users, no never.

Not one single person has ever died from using marijuana; by contrast, untold millions have died as a result of tobacco. More people are killed by prescribed drugs alone, than are killed by the illegal ones.

That does not mean I think tobacco, for example, should be illegal though, since it is a matter of freedom of choice. In fact I apply that logic constantly across the spectrum...how does making heroin or cocaine illegal 'protect' people from them? I contend making them illegal makes them expensive (more profitable) and then organised crime naturally grows up around this underground industry.

And then the government makes a lot of money becoming a legal drug dealer, running methadone distribution to 'help' the poor heroin addicts who are hooked on a substance made from poppies almost all of which come from Afghanistan which is where we are fighting a war to protect the poppy fields from the Taliban who were against opium cultivation...

See how the logic works? George Washington smoked hemp, btw.
