Please Americans. and with due respect. you tried it with alcohol and all that happened was that the consumption rose and crooks got rich. Worst of all some European countries thought you to be clever and did the same, with the same result. Just give it up, it's stupid.
There is a hint here.

Re: Weed
Some states are appearing to take a less "serious" approach to weed.
Ok, selling, smoking it outside schools is a dumb idea. But the attitude seems to be "loosening".
Sadly, this attitude is unlikely ever to flourish here in the UK as, as far as May, Camoron etc are all concerned, drugs are bad, mkayy!!
I can smoke myself into an early grave, or drink myself in one, be married at 16, be a soldier and legally kill people at 18, vote at 18 but can I smoke a plant, a non processed one at that, no I cant.
The drugs war is a joke. Drugs policy is a bigger joke...
I can put whatever the fuck I want into MY body as long as it has no detrimental affect on anyone else.
Its about time the fucking idiots (fossils, dinosaurs) in Westminster accepted that.

Re: Weed
Wish I had some! The back's playing up something awful (was gonna say 'chronic') despite excess opiates. Weed is as good if not better for pain. And there's one to add to your list. You can shovel down opiates, that are highly addictive, dull your senses, make you feel like crap afterwards, and you can overdose on. But smoke weed and the hypocrites-in-charge want to put you in the Workhouse.

Re: Weed
More and more states are legalizing it. The catch is that via Presidential Order, the users/growers in those states can legally do this, unless the next President changes the Order. However, one can still not transport it across state lines even if the state you're going into has legalized it. The Feds still consider that a crime.
Somewhat of a tangled mess still, but the states who have legalized are seeing a drop in drug crimes and a huge increase in tax revenues as they tax the crap out of it... unless you have a medical pot card. The big worry is what will the next guy in the White House do?

My Hoverboard is slowed by wheels
Having seen a few hoverboards trundling about at around 3KPH this guy's getaway attempt is a poor advert for the mind expanding properties of weed; must have expanded sideways instead of forward.
As an illustration of how little the cops like weed: When I lived in N. Cal in 2000, the local Sherrif spent $5.000.000 on a Helicopter IR equipment and a taskforce to monitor the patients that had licences to grow medical marijuana!
The plants were only allowed to grow enough to supply the individual with their year's worth of prescribed weed, any more and they would fall on the growers, destroy the plants and try their best to get 'criminals with MS imprisoned. If that's how they view sick people with a Government (State) sanctioned licence you can imagine how they view the rest of 'The goddam pinko hippies' who smoke the 'erb.
