This essay one day will be cited by historians. They will cite it to prove that the decline, decadence and dissolution of American culture was the result the neo pagan embrace of epicurean hedonism by a critical percentage of the population. The values and practices espoused by Sullivan are enshrined in the platform of the Democratic Party.

What passes for meritorious writing among the liberals is pretty amazing.

He says nothing that matters, but he uses the word 'nonlinear' a lot, which I guess is a proxy hypnosis signal for depth.

So Sullivan is alive? He’s just as irrelevant as if he weren’t.

Once is too much. Mind altering substances are taken for the purpose of affecting reality to one degree or another. Marijuana affects health as does tobacco and is as addictive as well. Marijuana also affects the mind more than users will admit. Don’t smoke is good advice for a healthy mind and body. Legal or not, don’t start.

People that are really into weed make nonsensical arguments that put climate kooks to shame.

I quit reading after the author made it clear he was an AIDS infested homosexual who smokes pot and still has sex with other men. What a guy.

For once he doesn’t sound as if the brain parasites have totally eaten all of it, which is a refreshing surprise, but I could do without being regaled with tales of his HIV-positive hookups while stoned. He is one damaged, sick puppy who occasionally has lucid moments despite it all, rather like Bill Maher after a karmic return.

And daily use of weed is around three times as common as daily use of booze

On what planet? Did I miss some context here?

You’ve keyed on an incredibly-common liberal writer BS tactic. Whatever we’re doing, “they” (whoever “they” are for the purposes of the piece) are doing it twice — no, three times as much!

“Do I smoke too much pot? It’s a question I’ve asked myself over the years...”

Drugs are sorcery, but marijuana is the least of this butt monkey’s problems...

Every homeless person should be offered the hard stuff. As much as they want.
