"Trolls are cliché." - axel3foley ... Yes, you are. [Edit to include the statement I'm responding to, since I have a feeling it's going to disappear into the ether soon]

... he seems like the type of person that people are referring to when they say... "He can enliven any party... just by leaving."

I've treated multiple Tylenol OD's over the years. (All were intentional, FWIW) and it's not the best way to go.

Damn, that makes me want to join Dish Network just so I can cancel membership over this.

Ever had a peek behind the curtain, junior? Ever had a top secret clearance? Without that, you are just guessing at how your own country really runs.

But give us a call next time you find yourself being an instrument of national power, sitting alert in a fully armed, supersonic fighter jet.

Amend that, give us a call if you ever graduate from an accredited college.

Given that he writes with all the insufferable arrogance and awkward, ham-fisted prose of someone destined to piss off their freshman comp professor and an attitude destined to get him pantsed by the upper classmen, I wouldn't hold my breath about that graduation thingy...

That Libertarian pot hook turns out not to be all it's cracked up to be? We didn't see that coming from miles away, right? Also, too - add this up: private company/"right to work"/drug testing... brought to us by pro-pot Libertarians: http://www.forwardprogressi...

Get the picture?

I guess I was being generous. I assumed he was a sophomore.

I am not defending MoDo here, but weed does seem to be about a bazillion times more potent now than it was back in my college daze in the early '70s. Back then consuming a quarter of a pan of standard strength pot brownies would get you pleasantly high. Ingesting that amount today would cause your brain to melt, and not in a good way. We can probably thank careful cultivation by knowledgeable agriculturists over thousands of plant growth cycles for the dramatic increase in potency over the decades. The last time I shared a joint I had to stagger outside and stick my face in the snow for a few minutes to deal with the high. Holy Cheech it was strong, and that was 20 years ago!

I'm pretty sure most of those Tylenol OD's are suicides, but the point about Marijuana's risks is well made.
