Pretty hard to even discuss Statist lectures without falling into the pit..... "We".
Eugene Zamyatin, a Russian novelist of the Stalinist era, wrote a wonderful book entitled "We", which somehow overcame the pugilistic bureaucratic imagination and could not be censored outright.
The book mocks society in about the cleverest way I have ever seen. While doing an absolute takedown of "Socialist Realism" propaganda, he was not even sent to the Gulag or killed in some ditch on the outskirts of town.
I see you're obsessed with pot, which is no credit to any intellect.
OK, so I have been spending some time in Berkeley lately.
The other day I wandered south into a more business oriented area...... "Urban Mining" sorts of idealized junkyards, which agreed very well with my own views, that once we mine something outta the ground, we should never bury it again. We can care. We can use it again.
Across the street, a large wall was emblazoned with a declaration "Being Black Is Not A Crime". I see lots of declarations like "Science Is Real". I wonder about the intellect behind such declarations. Do people who imagine being Black is a Crime really exist. Even slavers and slaveodrivers didn't think like that. Being Black merely meant there was someone you could buy and have do hard work, and the food and cloth and house they needed made the package a good deal. A lot of slaveowners thought the young black girls were beautiful, and fathered a lot of home-grown "slaves" who had mothers still. Abysmal way to treat anyone, but nobody imagined race was a crime.....
But today's marxists are making being white a crime, actually.
Well, anyway, as I said, above, the common use of weed seems, empirically, to cause bad logic and insjupportable arguments about everything. I highly recommend just not using it.
But in regards to the comments above, I know a lot of local Berkeley folks who grow a little weed and use it themselves, and attribute various notions of benefits to its use. And, a lot of these folks complain to me that legalization has meant corporatization of the market.
Making it legal, with some regulations or some government oversight, is going to drive the small growers who sell off part of their crop lose income. Prices have declined, and will decline a lot more. We are going to have a few very large corporate growers like Monsanto controlling the market.
That is who supports Pelosi in public office. And Biden, and even has-beens like Obama and Hillary. These goons are the political craftsmen of the Totalitarian Fascist State most of you are deceived into supporting.
Along with disallowing the government to make laws like the substance use laws, we must disallow the government from regulating and taxing small growers of anything.
As a moral principle, this ranks right up there with disallowing humans to be held in bondage or enslaved, or kept for child sexual exploitation..... well, any kind of marketing of sex, or human body parts.
That is why I say Xi is worse, already, than Hitler. He is profiting from actually making a business of killing humans for body parts salvage and sale. And his people are kept in circumstances as controlled and exploitative as any Southern Plantation ever was.
And we have morons in our political elites who surpass Chanmberlain's "Peace in Our Time" who have and are helping to build up Chinese economic, production, and military applications of the best technology. And Xi is intending to invade Taiwan and do a genocidal extermination of the Nationalists who won't pretend to be Communists.
Chief among these imbeciles is Joe Biden, along with other Democrates, and even Republicans like McConnell, and romney...... and our local elite Huntsmans.
Great idea...... scream and holler about Russian collusion, an issue less than one thousandth the reality we have with Chinese influence in our politics.
If anything, THC impairs cognitive functions like a realistic sense of urgency or danger. CBD oil is helpful in many ways.
