Think of all the money saved from snitches not getting stitches.

So you are saying rich Marylanders? Marylandians? Marylandonians? are committing all these murders? One more reason to hate the rich.

The purge, maryland edition.

Basically it is a defacto ban on handguns. Make the process so onerous and expensive, that residents wont bother.

Anyone watch that new series called Outlaw Tech? Looks like a cool show.

I just watched the episode on North Korea counterfeit $100 bills.

And this makes perfect sense. Pot is rapidly gaining social acceptance, and when it becomes legal at the Federal level, it's only logical that established cigarette-makers whose revenues have been declining in recent years would need to hop on the train.

But, that wasn't the idea I was postulating.

A: Given, the present-day social costs associated with legal tobacco usage (healthcare costs, decreased productivity, etc) likely outweigh the comparable costs related to meth / cocanine / heroin / etc., combined. But there is a very strong stigma attached to those substances, and I find it unlikely that a US-based commercial tobacco manufacturer would be likely to start planting fields of opium poppies or coca leaf. The shareholders would figuratively riot.

B: People who are high on meth / PCP / etc., do crazy and often violent shit at a rate disproportionate to the general population. By comparison, stoners tend to pretty much mind their own business, and perhaps contribute disproportionately to the snack-food / fast-food economy. Given this, it's hard to make an argument that pot directly causes social harm, whereas it's easy (and statistically supportable) to make the same argument against stimulant / psychedelic / dissociative substances.

“College-educated white women under 30 broke for Trump, not Hillary Clinton,” stated host Ari Melber. “What do you make of that?”

Greer responded, “first of all, you don’t need men to have patriarchy. So, white women are upholding patriarchy in very clear ways. They have for generations.”

MORONIC Seattle Mayor Taxes Diet Soda, Because 'More White People Drink It' ? Silence is Consent


“The changes were recommendations that emerged when staff from the mayor’s office and the office of Council member Tim Burgess studied disparate impacts the tax could have on people with low incomes and on people of color, according to Murray.”

“That work involved conversations with community advocates, public-health professionals and business owners, according to the mayor. After Murray’s initial announcement, some suggested the exclusion of beverages with artificial sweeteners would be unfair because affluent white people tend to consume more diet drinks.”
