“Secret” clearances are fairly universal in the USN. Even USPS carries “Secret” snailmail.

‘Curious where that NSGA was located.

As to difficulty, my USN Dad was strafing, bombing, depth-charging and torpedoing the Japanese in the SW Pacific as an officer.

I was a mere enlistee, whose many addresses and personal referrals were questioned, then even THEIR neighbors were checked!

Odd that Trump is chastised for his bone-spurs deferment by zoned-out tokers; Yet, no one faces more personal danger THAN Trump.

“the Founders weren’t smoking weed”

And they didn’t give the federal government any power over smoking weed.

“None of my peer-aged tokers are alive today.”

All of mine are.

The NSGA was in the Azores.   Their antenna farm was very impressive.

1) First thing every morning, some volunteer would pick up the birds who were killed from its operation.

2) See where twin young teens were lured from next door with Marijuana? Purchased for “personal” use, I guess...

Why did you include me in the comment?   I have no clue what you are talking about.

If you were talking about giant rotating log periodic direction finding antennas of the NSGA killing birds... ?

Marijuana was widespread and usable as a lure before legalization.

Should we ban everything with which teens can be lured?

“Should we ban everything with which teens can be lured?”

SOME teens can be lured by drugs. Parents whose teens lack the discipline to resist such lures are likely to face their loss to even more tantalizing drugs. 150 young people die every day. (CDC).

Fentanyl has joined the long cavalcade of increasingly common teen-killers. It is found mixed with the Marijuana sold on the illicit market.

The “legal” market has displayed how fungible the Marijuana market truly is.

Government, once again, has predictably proven how incompetent Government-directed economics truly are.

All those words but no answer to the question.

“That our people are being destroyed by the use of ganga, there can be no doubt”. (1932)

What happens when Marijuana acquires the strength of opiates?

“The Canadian government thought that by legalizing pot they could corner the market and make hundreds of millions in tax revenue... That’s how they sold the concept to the public.. We’ll make hundreds of millions that you won’t have to pay in taxes.

Only problem is... They thought black-market prices would persist... They were wrong. The black-market adjusted and has undercut the legal market to the point where the legal sale of pot is a money loser.”

So, while we follow Jamaica to greatness, the return on [Noblefree’s] legalized pot is a losing concept.

What does this even mean? Opiates and cannabinoids have different effects regardless of concentration.

Opposite - legalization’s lowering the price is exactly what I always predicted and a big part of the reason I support legalization.
