Once again, looks completely normal. Said no one ever.
But, do keep opening more pot shops, enabling liquor stores to be open during “Shelter at Home” orders in pandemics, and making sure VT takes the lead in legalizing MORE dangerous & lethal drugs to be made available to the “consumer” such as hallucinogenic mushrooms and “safe” places to shoot heroin into your veins, OK?
NO. Pot is NOT benign (even the NIH maintains that reality) and your government WANTS and APPRECIATES you compromised & dull & deluded & dysfunction. And exactly how dull, deluded, & dysfunctional do you have to be before you realize this? Not sure, as most keep on tokin’.
NO. Pot isn’t “cool”. Grow up and WAKE up.
