420 and the pundit paranoia

Premium Link Upgrade

Interesting, albiet trememdously uninformed, look at the rising popularity of the annual stoner's holiday.

Love the last paragraph from some dipshit Harvard Phd:

“We’ve made tremendous headway in clarifying the hazards of ********* use and then along come these yahoos who are countering this progress with media events and with marketing events and with money-making events … money made at the expense of the brain, the body and the behavior of susceptible people,” she said.

Marketing events, money making at the expense of the brain, body, and behavior? Hmmmmm, sounds like:

The ******* Industry
The Tobacco Industry
Popular Music
Television

And of course, the most egregious legal criminals of all: The pharmaceutical Industry.

Making money at the expense of damaging the body and brain? Let's take take a random look at the side effects of (throws dart)...Zolpidem

Zolpidem may cause a severe allergic reaction. Stop taking zolpidem and get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using zolpidem and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

worsening ***** problems;

depressed mood, thoughts of hurting yourself;

unusual risk-taking behavior, decreased inhibitions, no fear of danger;

aggression, feeling agitated;

hallucinations, confusion, loss of personality.


daytime drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, feeling "*******" or light-headed;

weakness, lack of coordination;

amnesia, forgetfulness;

vivid or abnormal dreams;

diarrhea, nausea, ********;

headache, muscle pain; or

blurred vision.


So in this country it's legal to sell me something that could inhibit my breathing, make my face swell shut, not *****, make me depressed to the point of hurting myself, then make me engage in dangerous, aggressive, agitated behavior, hallucinations, drowsiness, dizziness, cognitive disorientation, and amnesia, which is good because it may make me forget about abnormal dreams, shitting myself while ****** everywhere with a headache, blurred vision and sore muscles.

But I can't buy a plant that makes me smile and eat too much? It's 4/17...see you in 3 days.

I've said it once, I'll say it again....
