Curmudgeon Cannot Conceptualize the Constant Kerfuffle

 What ignites MY fireworks?  Have a seat!


Ohio's governor sez he's not a fan of cannabis.  Okay...fair enough.  SO, what the (Insert your own expletive) was he smoking when he shouted, "Guns fer ALL, Y'all!!!"  Maybe we can forgive that if he missed reading newspaper articles about the rise in street murders or the 5 year-old who shot his baby brother or Mom.  Or...MAYbe, there's not even a cable or satellite that brings TV to his neighborhood? 
 Where were the Marshall and all his deputies when the yay-hoos told us pretty much to go to hell after being informed their new version of gerrymander was illegal?  UMMM, Mike, that IS against the state constitution.  They should have been arrested, tossed in the clink and their plan returned to its proper status!  
Kids are vaping, consuming alcohol, buying drugs and killing on my and your streets.  
Expensive cell phones are killing innocent people.  How difficult is it to prevent a car from starting and running when the phone is on?  My Smart A-- phone asks if I'm driving.  I merely tap the "No" button to override the software.  Can you hear me, Mr. Gates?

Back to the cannabis.  Believe it or not, every plant has a purpose. Need proof?  For one, consider George Washington Carver and his cohorts, who found many uses for the everyday peanut!  Need a tasty, soft wine on your dinner table?  Consider one brewed from dandelions.  Get the picture?  All it takes is the people, time and effort for success.  
The meds you see in countless commercials are "born" by combining a complex variety of chemicals!  Open any prescription box or even many Over-the-Counters and you'll see a 1" square bundle of paper that unfolds until it becomes the size of the Disneyworld parking lot!  Once fully open, the words are so tiny, they can barely get focused by the Hubble or Webb telescope!  And yet, the words cover any and perhaps all instances of side-effects, none of which are their fault.  After all, they told you so!  
Folks, you get side-effects because your body is fighting off what it deems to be harm producing invaders!  Even organ transplants are carefully monitored for that reason.
The pretty poppy has redeeming medicinal value. But, as mentioned above, unsavory people took the time to determine said methods necessary to become enormously rich.  However, they don't supply cautionary papers and once you purchase product, you're on your own.  No doctor will call.  There are no clinics.  You become an addict. Without help, odds are, you'll die soon.  Your supplier will find another addict/customer.

Peace and love...until the next time you get me started
