    Yeah, but what I want to know is what happened to the Taco trucks on every street. It’s closing 8n on lunch.

      Just think of how marijuana legalization would help the taco truck industry!

        Guns aren’t too concerning by themselves, but I think we all know a few teachers from our school years that should never, ever own one.

          Yup we had one go nuts and dump out all our cubbies in 6th grade, because too many of us forgot to bring out work and she was convinced we hadn’t done it and left it in our bags.

          She retired at the end of that year.

          I had another in HS that threw a hammer at a kid (it was a vocational class), that annoyingly put me off a career in the trades. I wish now that I’d stuck with it. I much prefer working with my hands over temporarily organizing pixels.

            It’s never to late to start. We just had a guy who was 45, and worked in an office his entire career, join our apprenticeship. Being a union electrician is a great gig. Our pay is great and the benefits are awesome.

    South Florida is turning into New Atlantis and this fucking idiot is complaining about weed. I hope he gets hit by a meteor.

    Reminds me of the fear mongering a conservative family member was spouting when my state legalized weed. She was going on and on about how car accidents were going to “skyrocket” because everyone would be driving high. We’ve been legalized for about four years now, the first time I heard about any high driving incident was a couple of weeks ago when two people died. Now, obviously the number of high drivers is probably more than that, and any kind of intoxicated driving is irresponsible, but that’s the first time I heard a case make the news, meanwhile NHTSA says an average of 37 people die due to drunk driving per day.

      Alcohol is pretty unique as a drug in causing car accidents. Most other drugs will either relax/sedate you enough so you don’t want to go out (opiates, ketamine), make you anxious enough so you won’t want to drive (cannabis, hallucinogens), or stimulate you enough so that if you do drive you probably won’t be that bad (coke, meth). Only alcohol will keep you up enough to socialize, confident enough to drive, and impaired enough to crash. Even if you were to legalize all drugs alcohol would still probably be the largest cause by far for impaired driving accidents.

      Seeing as his supporters believe they’re destined to spend eternity in flames unless a man in a robe puts water on their heads because a rib woman was once convinced by a talking snake to eat magical fruit, I’m thinking no.

    If only there were states that passed similar laws that we could look at to see how things played out.

    Oh wait. We do. And none of this shit happened.

    People already can bring 20 joints into a school if they want to. Has Ron looked at other states that have legalized it and observed schools bursting at the seems with pot?

    prevalent odor of cannabis that he says would result from the reform

    Oh no! Another smell to go along with car exhaust and low tide!

    Well yeah, if the teacher asks if I’m going to share with the class, I’ve got to.
