Even though these black market farmers wreak havoc on the environment, this drug warrior is a little overzealous.
Until prices/taxes decline on legal weed, this type of growing will never stop.

great idea, get the 80-year-olds in prison at the cost of $50,000 per year. The middle part of this country is frightening.

well, at least the taxpayers can take comfort in knowing they probably won’t live more than a couple years

they better not even get jail time, they should get their weed back too, and continue on their merry way of delivering presents. true modern day mr and mrs claus!

This device can determine if drivers are
“more than likely impaired”.

Accurate?
Hmmm?

Oakland isn’t interested in facts when locking you in a cage, a maybe is good enough. How many decades have people been smoking and driving? Being sleepy is more dangerous than being legally drunk and cannabis is proven safer than both. All these facts are known and ignored so a ticket system can be enforced to funnel more money into government so it can be siphoned up by the politicians to fund their royal lifestyle. It is tough being at the bottom with all the undesireables.

of course no one cares about facts, that’s why celebrities get elected to office instead of scientists or engineers

Excerpt from article:

Q: What should I do if I get too high?

A: You can avoid this by talking about consumption amounts with your budtender. Start out with just one puff and see how it affects you.

Does anyone really need a “budtender”" to understand this?
Wow.
Color me skeptical as to the very nature and purported benefits of any “budtender”.
Lol.

Here is another hilarious quote:

“But budtenders typically know more about weed than bartenders know about booze.”
Hahahaha.

I thought this was a very silly article.
Judge for yourselves below.

I’d be happy if ours could form a complete sentence!

Seems there is implication of something bad without correlation.

“The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women and women contemplating pregnancy be screened for and discouraged from using marijuana and other substances.”
This is scary, if a woman even thinks about getting pregnant the author thinks drug tests should be administered.

It will be a while before the stigma is out of the way, to be sure.
