Better than a load of alcohol in my opinion.
What will you mom say when she finds your corpse? You pot heads. Tsk tsk.
I can’t stand people that judge others. Pot is a relatively harmless drug. I would like to see the statistics of how many people have gotten killed by drunk drivers versus people killed by people driving high on pot! I always use my analogy when I was a young man and would hangout in the local bars in Michigan. By about midnight every night usually weekends fights would ALWAYS start. I’m talking nasty fistfight. There weren’t any strictly pot bars back then but now with the legalization of recreational pot in Michigan there are pot establishments. One in particular used to be an Italian take out or eart in place. Now they sell pot also. After the patrons smoke they mostly order pizza etc. And enjoy the company of other patrons and to this day a year later not one fight has broken out. LOL
Pot is “legal” by state law, but differing per county. KY maybe not legal. Anyway it wasn’t meth so he will probably do community service. No don’t think they have room in overcrowded jail for pothead busted even 5 lbs and other charges. Maybe he should move out to Portland or Seattle and steal tvs for under $1,000 from big box store, over there they’ll just smile at this guy.
Another set of “zingers” by good old Wade Queen. Lord have mercy on us all.
At least it wasn’t a sack full of copperheads or rattlesnakes. Could you imagine the look on the cops face if those things were protecting the weed.
I’m pretty sure you cant smoke yourself to death. Half the 70’s age group would be gone. LOL… Government just mad because they’re not taxing it.
Well the government really got some things to think about because couple of the major legalized controlled substances kill people got opiates and then you got alcohol But then you got people that smoke weed and people that smoke cocaine and they are bad people really why don’t the government get this thing straight to people smoking weed or people smoking cocaine kill others or die nope but alcohol and opiates do
