Pot heads are very annoying. I know. I was surrounded by burn-outs when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s.

Yes, they are.

But we lost the drug war.

So tax the heck out of it and use the power of Phillip Morris to crush the cartels.

I was at the dentists office yesterday. I pick up a copy of People magazine. There is an article about 4 different people in Colorado involved in the recently legal distribution of marijuana/THC products. They are making millions of dollars. Next is Washington state with more to come after that. IF you can get a license to operate a pot store, you are basically printing money.

My dentist went on to say that two of the licenses issued in Mass to distribute marijuana to people who have a doctor issued prescription happen to be state Senators. Talk about crony capitalism.

Smoked bees don't sting. From wiki on the 1931 book Brave New World:

Soma is an allusion to a ritualistic drink of the same name consumed by ancient Indo-Aryans. In the book, soma is a hallucinogen that takes users on enjoyable, hangover-free "holidays". It was developed by the World State to provide these inner-directed personal experiences within a socially managed context of State-run "religious" organisations; social clubs. The hypnopaedically inculcated affinity for the State-produced drug, as a self-medicating comfort mechanism in the face of stress or discomfort, thereby eliminates the need for religion or other personal allegiances outside or beyond the World State; the book describes it as having "all the advantages of Christianity and alcohol, none of their defects."
