Pot 114 times safer than alcohol:

Thanks for that overly broad and generalized statement–given with no context.
All that aside, this claim is pointless when you frame the question of morbidity rates taken by ratio in comparison to number of uses equaling fatalities. This is not apples to apples.
But I guess it sure sounds good, doesn’t it?
I’m sorry the graph was confusing to you.
Heroin, cocaine, tobacco, ecstasy and meth are all safer than alcohol according to your graph. Possible flaw in your logic is that typical human intake may rise if they are legalized. You make an argument for making alcohol illegal because the typical human intake would decline.
Knob Creek — my favorite bourbon (mmmmm!)
Make mine George Dickel (White label = 90 proof) not that clear shit they have been marketing lately. Been sipping & throughly enjoying Dickle white label since 1974!!!!!
Only two “Tennessee” whiskeys: Dickel & Daniels (“Black Jack” dumbed down to 80 proof some years back)…..I know,I know, both are owned by the same company…………..but Dickel white label is way smoother as far as I’m concerned……………….
Ancient – Ancient Age ain’t bad either and is a good burbon (again 90 proof) and is a good value.
Then there’s “Maker’s Mark” the only bourbon for an “Old Fashioned” as far as I’m concerned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll try a jug of the Dickel White Label…..
… And Old Overholt over? … Roll her over and give her some D….
(… there! He’s back!)
HuH..??
Multiple crude jocularities possible:
“Roll her Over, Holt, I feel the need for a Dickel.” … Will those Maker’s Marks come off? Or do ya need you’re Knob polished first, Jamie? … ” and on and on and on.
I guess you do need more coffee …
“Old Overholt”!!! I know a thing or two about “Old Overholt”: = “Supposedly” the favorite “slam” of ‘Doc” Holliday!!!!!
I’ve have had several “slam’s” of “Old Overholdt” and that is all that it is fit for!!!!
My Grandmother had one cigarette per day along with Her double slug of Old Overholt, everyday just as the Sun was over the yard arm. A “flapper” of the 1920’s, She lived to be 97.
That stuff is poison … Knob polish at best.
(Shifty … slow day? Wake up and smell the coffee :>)
I, for one, am quite content with “keeping the little man down” (in this instance) when “the little man” is a shabby and shady hole-in-the-wall liquor joint that happens to be in an extremely high-crime area.
The free market is great. Just remember the entire premise of the free market’s unadulterated success rests on the idea that people deal in honesty and integrity. Oh, and that people don’t screw up and harm or kill other innocent people.
” Just remember the entire premise of the free market’s unadulterated success rests on the idea that people deal in honesty and integrity. ”
…and what dictionary are you using to come up with that definition of “free market”?
What a total non-sense statement.
new name…lobbyist…
Do you REALLY think anyone gives a F*#k…???…To waste ALL that (WAT too gray) type following up on an even less relevant initial post…You are one self-important, vacuous Some Beech…
We ELECT people to decide these issues…how you feel about them matters not one F*#king bit…And since you are on the WRONG side of almost EVERY election in SC…you relegate yourself to an even LESSER status than most of us…
If a candidate from the Narcissist Liberal-Tarians ever gets in..maybe you can shill for that stupid MoFo…..LMAO…
PS: I guess I’m just as guilty of wasting time…
You think??
“but at least I’m interesting to read, and I produce compelling content…”
No, you’re not, and no, you don’t.
You just aren’t very smart.
STFU…idiot…
Talk about being “interesting to read” and producing “compelling content”.
It you got your lazy and vapid @$$ off the gay porn site didn’t it???…LMAO…
Here’s a quote from you a week ago: “One truth about written expression, is if you are intellectually dishonest or just corrupt , it is revealed in your words…That’s your biggest problem…aside from your irrational and baseless hate… ” Hmmm, isn’t that interesting. You couldn’t possibly be describing anyone other than yourself right here. You don’t ever address any substance that I bring up. You just circumvent and obfuscate, exactly like your lord-god Obama does at all his press conferences. Don’t flatter yourself. We know who you are and your words reveal exactly who you are. They reveal you as nothing more than a vapid, profane, and intellectually lazy animal. Channel Al Franken much?
This reminds me of the old tobacco allotments. My memory is bad, but the way I remember it, the allotments belong to the property. Two neighbors would have identical land, but the land with the allotment would be much more valuable. That is the definition of crony economics. No reasonable economic justification for one property to be worth more except a special privilege to grow tobacco.
Why should anybody be able to sell a liquor license and profit off a government regulatory fee?
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.
Decriminalization? So you’d rather everyone who smoked marijuana or partook in recreational drugs to pay a fine? I’d call for blanket legalization and regulation before I’d call for decriminalization, but if decriminalization will save lives and keep people out of prison so be it. But there’s a vast difference between decriminalization, and legalization. The former still contains a criminal element, the latter refers to regulation and approval of substances for my consumption. If we regulate the market for more quality drugs, educate people about drugs, and maybe even educate people about alcohol too (some people just don’t realize how dangerous it really is) then maybe it would work. Because, I don’t know about any of you fine people, but “Just Say No” and “Drug Awareness Resistance Education” did not prevent me, my friends, acquaintances, and millions upon millions of other people from trying drugs. It’s time to cut the schtick and actually start educating people instead of negatively reinforcing an idea that human beings (or other animals for that matter) are capable of staying sober and not altering their consciousness with drugs. Oh, and we can thank the “great” Dick Nixon for the Drug Enforcement Act.
If this passes, someone should start the “Uber Drunk” personal delivery service and get stalked by Greene’s while the PSC stands there with their wankers in their hands. But seriously, who do these dopes think will be left to rent the crummy commercial space their buddies own after this? SC apparently won’t be satisfied until every bit of wealth is extracted from its people. Why not give a tax break for some new distribution centers while we’re at it?
I would doubt Wal-Mart would sell it but they have liquor departments in Sams Club in various states. Total Wine has been pushing for more licenses as they want to locate in the Forest Acres area.
