1. Did you read how Maureen Dowd ate an entire Marijuana Candy Bar? Let’s just say it really didn’t go well.

2. Wow. Even stoned, Dowd is a statist.
   .
   That’s .. kind of an impressive commitment to her intellectual principles, in a really depressing sort of way.

   1. Well see, this is what I’ve been saying about legalizing drugs all along:
      .
      Dowd notes that Colorado wants to regulate the edible Marijuana and the people selling them are up in arms. But to enforce these new regulations, Colorado’s government is going to have to grow. Benjamin Franklin warned us of this (“[O]nly a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.“) and we have yet heed his words.

      1. What is this “we” you speak of, kemosabe?

         1. The royal “we” of the nation. I know many understand this and is fighting this, but the nation as a whole seems to be lurching toward a vicious way.

            I honestly don’t care anymore. When the people has had their fill of sin and look up for salvation, I will look down at them just so I can whisper: No.

            1. I suggest, Gator, doing so from a well armed and fortified position.
               .
               Also, Florida’s pretty damn flat .. where are you going to be that you can look down, or was that a moral position?

               No kidding.

3. If that’s how Maureen Dowd reacts to pot, I sure wouldn’t want to see her on acid.

4. Marijuana made her paranoid.
   But not paranoid enough to even momentarily question the wisdom of writing a column where she publicly admits to breaking federal law.
   .
   I find that interesting.
   She evidently has a bone-deep sense that the law only applies to other people.
   And sadly, I suspect she’s right.

   1. My understanding is that, like alcohol or ecstasy, it’s a selective inhibition-eraser.
      .
      So .. no, the pot didn’t *make* her paranoid, she *started out* paranoid, and the pot temporarily disabled her coping mechanism.

      1. My understanding is that the selective inhibition-erasing of alcohol is mostly a socially-convenient excuse for what you wanted to do anyway.
         .
         I may have tested that one time with non-alcoholic punch labeled otherwise. The difference was in lower expense and less clean-up. No other variables seemed to be significant.
