Open Government Brainstorm Defies Wisdom of Crowds
theodp writes "In May, the White House launched what it called an 'unprecedented online process for public engagement in policymaking.' Brainstorming was conducted in an effort to identify ways to 'strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness by making government more transparent, participatory, and collaborative.' So, what were some of the top vote-getters? Currently near the top of the list are Legalize Marijuana And Solve Many Tax Issues / Prison Issues (#2) and Remove Marijuana from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (#3). For those who remember Obama's earlier Online Town Hall, it's deja vu all over again."
No Sir everyone is NOT smoking it, this is a pure liberal myth. The marrijuana you can buy today has been scientifically proved that its 56,820 times stronger than the natural product, which was bad enough, and can and does cause almost instant irrevocable and permanent psychosis, paranoia and schizophrenia to name but a few of it's deadly effects.
Sure some of those pop singers and other losers that kids look up may boast they smoke a bit and so it might even be fashionable and 'cool' amongst the non god fearing and easily led youth of today but I can guarantee almost none of them will have actually got their hands on any of the evil weed.
Despite the, discredited, opinions on display here the war on drugs is proceeding excellently, our police and associated agencies are capturing ever greater hauls of the drug and we're catching and imprisoning more users, dealers, smugglers, manufacturers and suppliers than ever before. No Sir almost every wannabe pot head will already be on a police watch list and rapidly apprehended, brought to justice and locked up for a very long time the very first time he sets eyes on any reefer. Those who slip through the net rapidly become addicted and have their lives ruined by the deadly psychotic effects of the hash skunk, praise God we are able to capture most of them before they go on to kill or maim in psychotic murder rampages.
Marijuana sounds vaguely spanish.
You should use the term "plant-based tetrahydrocannabinol feedstock" instead.
Unless you're high, in which case you'll get lost somewhere in the middle because you noticed that dude, when we die? We like.... we.... we end up trapped in our own minds...so....like......you need to be able to live with yourself before you die... or you'll be in hell, but if you're happy with your life... you'll be in heaven......
Dude, that's deep. What was I talking about?
It's been a long time.
No marijuana is not harmless, but the fact that I'm sitting here smoking it while watching TV *is* harmless
If you weren't so high, you would have realised that you're actually at your computer, commenting on slashdot.
You'd have to knock me out with a schedule II substance in order to drag me to a journey concert.
