  1. Considering what Biden and The Democrats are doing to the country, it probably would be a good idea to let everybody get stoned to ease the pain of watching the country go down the toilet.

    1. BOB OUT HERE WITH THE JOKES! Go back to the Wall Street Journal comments with this trash Bob.

    2. Joe, you have to sign up and create an account to read that New York Times article, even free. The last thing I want the uber-liberal New York Times to have is ANY of my personal information! (I don’t have a Facebook account either for the same reason….I can just imagine their harvesting intelligent, God-fearing remarks and turning them in as “subversive.”)

    3. Was free for me, Bob. And don’t worry, Facebook has plenty of your data already, and mine, and all of ours. Your should try Facebook. It’s like the ultimate AM talk radio machine. I mean, here’s the top 10 links from yesterday on Facebook.

      1. Franklin Graham
      2. News Channel 3 WWMT TV
      3. Ben Shapiro
      4. Ben Shapiro
      5. Peachy Sunday
      6. Nick Adams
      7. Ben Shapiro
      8. E! News
      9. Sean Hannity
      10. Ben Shapiro

      And it’s like that every day. What scares me is the echo chamber you’re in…

  2. It would be nice if everyone just looked at the potential positives versus negatives of marijuana with an open mind instead of through a political lens. For the government to continue to keep marijuana on the list of “Schedule 1 drugs with zero acceptable medical use” is in direct opposition to the government’s own research and prescribing of the drug. Stories continue to come out about the positive effects of marijuana for cancer treatments and pain mitigation. So lets research it instead of politicizing it.

  3. I’m just waiting for the Reefer Madness reboot…..also, does anyone honestly believe the Puritans in the state capital will seriously decriminalize it!?!?! They just recently removed the restriction for alcohol on Sunday!!! Do I smoke it every day….nope….but I do smoke it!
