  • The marijuana bill is a fun one to stick the Republicans with. There’s plenty in the Trumpy base that love their weed and especially love that it’s legalized. Time to start making some of them dance.

      There are some, especially the type of Young Republican who wears a purity ring while letting half the high school pound her (or his) as-s, but the red hatters are mostly drunks.

      Their meth heads don't vote at all.

        Living in Alaska, and plenty of travel through Washington and Oregon, has taught me otherwise. Those “working class whites” that the media loves to fawn over love their weed, at least out west.

        • Yeah even the ideologically pure tend to waffle on weed. Stoners are a small part of the weed users these days. It crosses demos like booze does.

          I mean South Dakota voted to legalize...

          The only people who are dead set against this think DARE actually works.

            I think of them as capital L Libertarians who typically aren't voting. They're the kind of people who couldn't decide between Ron Paul and Mike Gravel. They were all registered "I."

                  Ha! Even when I went through the DARE program in elementary school I thought it was full of sh**. Is there anyone who really came out of that singing it's praises?

                    Before DARE there were equally inane programs in the schools about ****ing and drinking and drugs. The entire class, even the slow kids who grew up to stay in the same town, completely understood how stupid it was and how demeaning to both the adults and the kids.

                    I remember realizing most adults were morons in third grade, and being a little upset but mostly mystified, but then having to wait for the light to go on in other kids eyes. There were a couple others right along with me, then a dribbling through to about 7th grade, and then stuff like that hit and every kid finally realized that while adults knew more facts they never got any smarter. You had what you had and the kids who were eating paste in first grade were just going to grow up to be cops and that was that.

                      I mean, I probably believed it all at the time. Granted it's been nearly 30 years, but I don't remember anything in it being particularly ridiculous. It was mostly "here's what different types of drugs are and here's how they can physically affect you"; I don't recall it being fire and brimstone about how a single joint would kill you or something like that; maybe that was just my area? I also can't claim to know if it had any notable affect on drug use either.

                        It wasn't that it was fire and brimstone but it was stuff like "marijuana is a gateway to heroin."

                        The problem with which was it was 1975 and we all knew our older sisters' friends who smoked marijuana and our older sisters' friends who did heroin and we already knew these were completely different people with completely different life arcs, and the fact that the adults didn't know this made us pity them.

                        In 1975 a 14-year old had a more sophisticated understanding of drugs than a 40-year old. This was Perry Como trying to explain Patty Smythe (ed. per rufus: Patti Smith). It was just ****ing embarrassing.

                          Maybe they mellowed it over time. For me this was early 90s; by then the adults in charge were likely Boomers who had done a lot of it and maybe knew more than the Silent Generation running things when you were in high school. For mine it was more like science class, going over the different categories (including alcohol and caffeine) and how they could affect you. I mean, I suppose it was done in the context how they could affect you in a bad way, but less trying to scare you, but then again maybe I'm forgetting parts of it.

                            Yea, the science part of it was cool. Our chemistry teacher brought in the PDR to illustrate and it was stolen from his class room before the end of the first day. The school actually freaked out about that -- it's the only time I can remember the school threatening kids with jail and this was in an age when kids would light the American flag on fire* before hoisting it up the flagpole in the morning, and when two kids from another school pulled up in a truck one day, threw an entire loaded bike rack in the back, and hauled as-s.

                            Junior High School was fun back then.


                            * This happened while one our of our student' fathers was being held hostage in Iran and the school administration was still able to distinguish between an act of political protest and an act of disloyalty. Imagine that now with the Nazis who run schools and school boards.
