Black Death Discovered In Oregon
redletterdave writes "The Black Death, a strain of bubonic plague that destroyed nearly a third of Europe's entire population between 1347 and 1369, has been found in Oregon. Health officials in Portland have confirmed that a man contracted the plague after getting bitten by a cat. The unidentified man, who is currently in his 50s, had tried to pry a dead mouse from a stray cat's mouth on June 2 when the cat attacked him. Days later, fever and sickness drove the man to check himself into Oregon's St. Charles Medical Center, where he is currently in 'critical condition.'"
Heh :)
Alcohol and pot are like dish soap and concentrated dish soap. They can both get you clean, but the concentrated stuff works faster and more efficiently.
That's the problem with pot. No middle ground. A couple of tokes and you are in the kitchen shoving everything into the microwave and staring at in awe for the next few minutes as the Giver of Life itself. At least with beer you can nurse a few for an hour and still remain reasonably intelligent.
I'm sure that just about anybody there would have sounded like a Nobel prize candidate after a case of beer. Of course you are from Canada, so it might take a lot more beer.
P.S - That's the real reason why pot is illegal. It's cheap, effective, concentrated stupid... and that's not good for Capitalism.
