    My preschool drug talk was ‘Here, puff on this’…

    Not even joking. The very first word I remember is joint.

      People really underestimate how many parents make their kids do drugs. Even for stupid reasons like they want someone to get high with.

              Unfortunately, no. And it’s not always weed.

              My SO worked in youth addiction counseling, and it’s pretty rough.

                That’s anecdotal evidence and doesn’t tell us anything about its prevalence on a bigger scale.

                  Okay, I assign you to visit these 50 countries and then write a dissertation with evidence either for or against this persons data. You have 1 year and travel costs are not covered.

                  But this is a grade 11 English course?

                  Did I fucking stutter?

      Not far from that here too, I could roll perfect joints before I was 10, never smoked anything myself until I was 20 though, and have since stopped.

              Didn’t happen with democrats will never happen with Republicans. We’re fucked until we get rid of corporate lobbying.

                As bad as democrats are, this is definitely an issue where they would have delivered. There’s enough states where it’s legal, has popular support, and it doesn’t cost money, actually it makes money in taxes.

                Plus, there is someone to lobby for it, unlike universal Healthcare…
