The California mass media, especially that of Los Angeles, is missing the big story when they report on the explosion of pot dispensaries in L.A., which now number well over 800.  The big story, which you read only between the lines, is that there are no big problems emerging as pot becomes more common than MacDonalds hamburgers.

Where are all the ax murderers and heroin addicts and sex fiends that were supposed to happen if we didn’t lock people away for merely possessing marijuana?  If you ask the cops they would probably admit that they would rather deal with someone who has been smoking weed than drinking booze any day.

Yes indeed.  I have a young relative who’s paying his university tuition by way of his perfectly legal backyard-based pot business.  Of course that doesn’t please big Pharma, or those who depend on an ignorant uneducated mass to guarantee their power, or potential money-lenders expecting to extract their pounds of flesh (around $80,000/student borrower at graduation). And our family?  We applaud our young entrepeneur.

Hemp Hemp ...  HOORAY!!!!

capisci.  It’s Italian for “you understand”.

Addendum; I think it’s Yiddish. I grew up in NYC; a
mixing pot of many cultures and my parents used it all
the time: being the good Catholics they weren’t;
including me.

Copeesh (maybe capeesh [sp]) means “understand”; which
apparently you do; good!

Ourorborous,

I understand everything in your post with the exception of “copeesh.”

Thanks for my best and only belly laugh of the day.

Somebody should infiltrate the kitchen at the Senate cafeteria and put large, large quantities of pot into the brownies, the soup, the casserole, the meatloaf, the whole grain bread rolls and any other dishes they can think of. The Senators should be fed this diet daily until they start listening to the people of America instead of the corporate mafia dons.

Oh, you wild and crazy guy! Just how am I to know that?
You just post your wild comments with no context! Give
us poor mortals a break and include some context! Geez,
do you think we are mind readers? Actually, if you’re
posting stoned, save it and read it in the morning; if
it still makes sense then pull the trigger and post it;
but we’re not there in your head, so you got to share,
copeesh?

Calm down brother Ouroborous….

I got POT=Plenty of Trouble from a 1960’s episode of Dragnet!!!  It was a classic!!  The officers went to a local high school and put on a anti drug seminar… The students made anti drug posters and one of them said, P O T = Plenty of Trouble….  What made it all the more hilarious was that I was stoned to the bejesus when I saw it….

In our Flowerpower time we sayd, ( HOLY SMOKE ) brfore we made love, yes good stuf.

Boy, you just bounce off of the rubber walls. I’ll give
you credit for an appropriate username though. Besides
not knowing what you’re talking about; you’re wrong,
plain and simple. You must hang out with the wrong
crowd. Having smoked for more than 40 years, neither me
or my friends ever had problem one. Just happy,
productive, responsible and mellow. But then, mellow
isn’t in your vocabulary is it? Peace Bro. 

Their will always be trouble.

In the Netherlands they have given freedom of growing for own use, less problems with harddrugs, but the real problem is…... all this shit emigrants, mosley criminal, no respect for the country’s where they live as guest.

Do you know what P-O-T stands for??????

Plenty Of Trouble!!!  That’s what….
