Just base new cannabis legislation on existing alcohol and tobacco laws. No need to reinvent the wheel. Don't play into the hands of the corrupt drug warriors and re-criminalize ganja. They want those revenue streams to start flowing again.

None of us can. Being "Born in the USA" makes us all wacky to one extent or another.

Al Capone didn't die in prison. He died on his Palm Island, Florida estate in 1947, eight years after being released on "good behavior". The American legal system is a farce.

Well said... concise and to the point. Only shills pushing their agenda resort to mind-numbing verbosity.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." H.L. Mencken's classic observation has never seemed so true.

Where the beat meet the elite. After hours, of course.

@drtreelove Thanks so much for your helpful and informative posts. Our second daughter bought a small fruit farm in Saraphi a few years ago as an investment. Originally part of the lumyai orchards out there, we have diversified it with numerous other types of fruit trees and flowering plants. We recently had a Thai style farmhouse built out of used teak and are spending more and more time at what is becoming a little Garden of Eden.

Tell me again how many military coups there have been since 1932. Generals in command are as Thai as sohm tam. The iron fist in the velvet glove has ruled the realm since forever - fat chance that will change anytime soon. When civilians take power it becomes a kleptocracy in double quick time. Thais themselves complain about their dictators but prefer an authoritarian gov't to anarchy and fighting in the streets.

Spot on. Biden could be replaced by a state-of-the-art robot and nobody would know the difference.

You're quite welcome. It's an observation based on my experience of growing up in the US and seeing gov't spending wasted through inefficiency and corruption more often than otherwise.

All out of the giant pork-barrel... none of it is going to do a damn bit of good except line the pockets of the dishonest rascals who govern us.
