It looks like the government has an addiction to spending.

I never did, either.

Many of the people I knew in the ‘70s did, but they don’t now. The ones who are still alive, grew up.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

(add to that a nation further zombied out on video games and other virtual realities)

By the time I was in high school, weed was everywhere in Silicon Valley. One kid I’d known since the 6th grade was dealing it during PE class. Of course I tried it. Haven’t indulged since my late twenties, though - the strains they have now are far stronger than the weak stuff we used to overpay for back then.

A couple comments...

1. I can’t walk down the street in San Francisco with smelling the stench of cannabis smoke. I was walking along the Marina Green and Crissy Field yesterday from Fort Mason to just below the GG Bridge, and I probably ran across at least 10 people smoking weed in public. If you want to understand the malaise that widespread weed use causes, including the urban decay and downtown “death spiral,” San Francisco is ground zero.

2. Weed use among black people has absolutely exploded in the last decade. I was discussing the situation with a physician who treats mostly low-income, Medicaid-type patients. She estimated that approximately half of her adult black patients are regular cannabis smokers.

No, Joe Biden only received about 40% of the vote. The rest was manufactured. We have the most evil people in the country running it because there is industrial scale voter fraud. And.. the folks who are running the country are either useful idiots at best or they are in on it an actually killing us... That is the truth... hold to the truth. It will set us free.

I’m a little surprised by the high percentage of Republicans who lied on this questionnaire.

Interesting (or not) that they didn’t break it down by race...

Half of U.S. residents have tried marijuana, and 17% currently smoke weed — both new highs since the tune-in drop-out 1960s

The rise coincides with the fall of the culture. Pothead Nation with zoned out zombies everywhere.

Expensive and ineffective. Same as our educational system.

It is too bad more people didn’t follow Nancy Reagan’s advice and just say “no” to dope. For me it was never a temptation and I never tried it. It smells nasty and the main symptom of users is that they care less and less about the important things in life. The best advice is keep your mind clear and sharp and avoid substances that could cloud it.
