Soccer Moms Are Marijuana Moms

A good deal of middle-class and upper-middle class moms habitually smoke pot, and they do so for the same reasons other users do: to wind down and relax, and sometimes to help cure physical ailments. The percentage of marijuana moms that's cited here — 52 — sounds suspiciously high to me, and since the survey was self-selecting, I'll take the results with a pound of salt. Still, yes, of course plenty of moms smoke pot.

Cue the outrage.

"So what kind of message is that sending to a child? If it's OK to smoke pot in the house, is it OK to steal? Bottom line, it's illegal," said Sarah Christiansen of NotMyKid.org.

Got that? Smoking a joint in your living room is no different from robbing fellow citizens of their property.

You know, Sarah Christiansen: Sometimes the law is an ass, and so are you.

"Suspiciously high", eh? The tongue-in-cheek humor never ends...

some twit named Richard Krause wrote a letter to the st. louis post dispatch today expressing similar outrage about an exhibit at the Art Museum "From Kettle to Keg" that celebrates brewing in St. Louis from 1809 to 1909. "Did museum officials not take into consideration the effect that this bnner would have on the impressionable minds of countles children..." and he points out that (beer) is "a mind-numbing drug that is legal only because Prohibition could not be enforced. It is permitted today (along with cigarettes and guns) because it is a windfall source of special-interest revenue."
These clowns cannot fathom leaving people alone. To them, freedom is a danger that must be regulated.
I need a beer!

Rudyard Kipling , interestingly enough, wrote some science fiction ( " As Easy as ABC"). In the future world he postulated from the 1890's, there were normal people and there were " serviles"- lower caste.
The definition of a " servile"? Someone who " couldn't be taught not to finger his neighbor's soul...."

Here in the EU, every DVD I rent begins with an MPAA "You wouldn't steal a car" copyright commercial. While the intellectuals among us may argue that copyright violation is not theft, and that sharing is not immoral, I believe I have simplified the argument..

You wouldn't steal a car???
Yes, I would if I could fucking download it!

I believe the same logic may be applied to MJ.

Marijuana isn't illegal if you have a 215. It also isn't a bad thing. If you ask me, it makes me a much more functional mommy and a happier spouse. Who-Rah.
