“Done intentionally to weaken our youth and young people and turn them into potheads who play video games all day”
Boys and young men who become our scientists, airline pilots, and Navy aircraft carrier specialists?
A neighbor’s valedictorian student became a golf club’s maintenence man who retired after 25 years having accomplished nothing at all. Marijuana ran his life until he couldn’t breathe any longer and died at 57.
Things were no better with his two brothers who consumed alcohol. The middle brother died at 58 after a drunken fall down basement stairs. The eldest died last year of throat cancer—addicted to taking tobacco with his vodka, and did a little MJ in his younger years.
“I smell marijuana all day long, from five in the morning on the road to everywhere I go. “
Ditto in San Francisco. I can’t walk through any parking lot of any size without being confronted with the stench of one or more people toking in their car. I can’t walk down any street with an apartment building of any size without the smell of burning weed wafting out a window. I can’t go to professional baseball game without smelling weed in the bleachers or in the walkways. I can’t walk in any area of the downtown without seeing and smelling a street/homeless person enjoying a doobie.
Legalization was a huge mistake. And it doesn’t surprise me that the ChiComs are into the trade... (1) take American idiots’ money; and (2) keep them stoned and stupid so they’ll be no match for China.

Millions of yuan in bribe money has a tendency to have that effect.
Nobody is forcing Americans to smoke the stuff . Same goes for taking fetanyl and other illegal drugs .
There are auto-flowering varieties that are independent of photoperiod to bloom. Might be able to grow three crops a year, outdoors.
Aliens growing the weed Americans refuse to grow.
Just as the Balance of Power is a structural element of international politics between nations, so is it at work between government officials and those with strong interests in play.
One of the attractive things about Trump, that raised fear in many, is that he most likely cannot be outplayed, bought or coerced. Perhaps just as important, it that he learned during his first term that even the "good guys" can stab you in the back.
In maine there is a history of small towns taking the law into their own hands. Usually via fires.
Most of those little fore departments are celler-savers.
All indoor
The months are short, Memorial Day to October.
The days are long, due to being closer to the Arctic Circle, over an hour longer than in NYC in the summer.
The weed is probably grown indoors in the house.
Especially in the basement with grow lights
This happened here in NH during the Great Recession.
Except it was Mexican Cartels who bought houses in bankruptcy

They even used existing chimneys to vent the heat put out by the large number of 1000 watt bulbs.

Then they scanned them with infrared to show the heat coming out of the house.
There were about a dozen in southern NH.
Some were in nice neighborhoods too.
Each house had one or two caretakers tending the crop.
