Bank makes loan to hard money lender and HML makes marked-up loan to Mary Jane.
Someone will take the risk.
You on the other hand, I can see you at some homeowners association meeting wanting everyone to conform to whatever whim you pop up with..☺
Marijuana is less addictive than alcohol, just FYI.
When I asked the question, I hadn't yet said a word about addictiveness - so that couldn't have been what he meant.
Genetics is undoubtedly a factor - but the fact is that of all those who have used marijuana, 9% have at some point been dependent, whereas the corresponding figure for alcohol is a substantially higher 15% (and 32% for tobacco).
You are?

Risk?
Not much risk in the context of a “culture” of systemic corruption in which punishment consists of paying a fine with the money that was stolen
“Pot Sales fill Pot Holes”
Nah, the soma-juana warriors (SJWs) are dainty, frail, and few. They weren't meant for this world and will soon pass.
“You fill your bongs — we’ll fill your pot holes”
And they dumb down the already dumb shallow empty potholes who smoke that smelly assed plant! :)
That’s it? 50 Mil? I wouldn’t brag about it in relation to the states obligations, seems like a fail.
the problem I see is what happened to Karen Quinlan in 1975 when she attended a party:
“She had eaten almost nothing for two days. At the party she reportedly drank a few gin and tonics and took Quaaludes. Shortly afterwards she felt faint and was quickly taken home and put to bed. When friends checked on her about 15 minutes later, they found she was not breathing.”
My point is when a person tries anything, cigs, booze, weed or any of the new designer drugs, you have no idea if one of your genetic time bombs might go off. Besides that, whenever they show videos of weed users in Colorado, I am not impressed.
what you can “see” is apparently a drug induced hallucination. but you’re right, we would definitely frown on druggies in my neighborhood. same to with thieves. same with drunks, for that matter. but the FR pot cult can’t tolerate dissent.
but what’s distressing is how little respect for the rule of law there is on a conservative forum.
careful. the FR pot cult is out in full force in this thread. in fact, that’s probably why it was created; to pick a fight.
I watched people get thrown in cages for decades over pot. Few things in history have been as wasteful, costly, damaging and absurd as their BS WOD. My position is if someone has an issue with drugs or alcohol, give them some help if they want it. If they don't and they wind up hurting/harming someone else, they're are laws/consequences in place that cover that too.
your position is circular and ultimately irresponsible. we don’t pass laws based on what some confused guy with a quirky use of a smiley thinks he saw for decades — cages nowithstanding.
perhaps if you go tear down the stop signs in your neighborhood, you’ll feel better.
Stop signs have zip to do with this junior. Your memory seems to wander. Try and stay on track.
