Thought For The Day - What's In Your Gullet?

Chew Haters

January 28, 2024

So, up until a few years ago marijuana was completely outlawed in all fifty United States. Mainly because of the paper and petroleum industries fighting to keep from encroaching on their turf. Hardly because of health issues. If that were the case you would still be buying booze and cigarettes in dimly lit alleys while wearing a mask. Marijuana is becoming legal in more states every year. However, it remains illegal at the federal level.

And yet, there is no ban on something that I guarantee is responsible for more morbidity and mortality than marijuana will ever be. No, I’m not talking about alcohol – we already know that you can’t take that shit away from people. That was attempted – even had a damn amendment to the Constitution – and it was not pretty, nor successful; not for one minute. I’m not talking about tobacco, which has gotten spanked pretty severely over the years, but survived relatively unscathed.

Here is something that probably kills more people, albeit much more slowly, than heroin:

Are you fucking kidding me?

Sure, it is easier to chew and swallow than the barrel of a gun, but seriously, is it really that much safer to put in your mouth? They even gave it a name that sounds like it might kill you in your sleep, and it might.  Slow motion Russian roulette.

Better hurry though, its time is limited; and so is yours if you eat one.
