“Marijuana is only slightly less awful than heroin.”

44 other presidents to choose from and he chooses to hitch his wagon to Andrew Jackson’s (probably filled with poison gasses) star? He obviously feels a sense of kinship.

I think when Bannon tucks him in at night he tells him he will have a legacy just like Andrew Jackson and be on money one day.

Don’t forget tobacco.

Marijuana demonification is an Old White Guy thing. When a friend’s grandson went off the rails (hint: he’s on some serious drugs and also has severe mental health issues, probably schizophrenia), my dad blamed it all on pot. My husband and I tried to inform him that pot.doesn’t.work.like.that. He still doesn’t get…

WHY IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TWEETING ABOUT SNOOP DOGG!?

rump: ‘incidentally, my bus- my son’s business is now selling maga-branded hard hats for $1199.95 - oh and your employer isn’t required to provide any safety equipment’

No no no no, alcohol is good for America. Because reasons. Reasons that have nothing to do with white people being the ones who have historically gotten rich off it.

It’s late in the day-but Trump fucking laid a wreath at ANDREW JACKSON’S FUCKING GRAVE. And then sent out a tweet THANKING HIM FOR HIS LEGACY. Just a quick reminder that Andrew Jackson’s Legacy is:

Personally, I think we should decriminalize all drugs, and treat addicts as patients rather than criminals.

The fact that antebellum debutante Lindsey Graham might be all that stands between us and this lunacy is a truly terrifying thought.

It’s used as an excuse to imprison black and brown and poor people to extract cheap labor from them. It’s not about public safety and never was.

It is 2017, we must stop litigating marijuana. The rank hypocrisy of a culture in which we are inundated with positive and affirming messages about alcohol and demonize every thing else is pure folly. Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t marry someone of the same gender. Don’t like marijuana? Don’t consume it. Problem…

my list:

I was in a pretty horrific car accident about 5 years ago and was in a lot of pain from my injuries. I was prescribed 30 Oxys when I was discharged from the hospital. One of the nurses literally chased me out to my car and told me please please don’t take the pills for more than 3 days, self medicate with pot and…

Anecdotal, but most of the patients I assess for opiate detox report they were prescribed opiates first, then became dependent and ended up moving to heroin because it is much cheaper. It is rare to get the folks who just decided one day that heroin would be fun.

To bring this little piece of news even closer to home, how about we all share our sober birthday? I know there’s many of us here that are recovering addicts.

Good article, though I could have summed it up in one .gif

OK when you use a version of Biggie’s line when your opponent is claiming you are fake, unoriginal as a rapper, and have ghostwriters...you sorta prove her point. Plus Biggie did it better.
