Bill to ban marijuana sales in Anchorage fails. As well it should.

Courtesy of Alaska Dispatch:  

An ordinance that would have banned commercial marijuana in Anchorage failed after four hours of public testimony and debate in Assembly chambers Tuesday night. 

The Assembly voted 9-2 just after 10 p.m. to kill the measure. Only members Amy Demboski and Paul Honeman supported the measure. 

Demboski introduced the proposal last month, hoping the city would take a “wait and see approach" as state lawmakers craft marijuana regulations. 

Yeah this lady just made the shit list of a whole lot of pot smokers in this town.

Fortunately for her they are all way too mellowed out to do anything aggressive, but they are totally thinking mean thoughts at her.

Keeping legal marijuana sales out of Anchorage, while they were taking place in other parts of the state, would have left us out of the potential windfall that the legalization will likely bring.

And THAT will definitely get people more than a little riled up. 

Instead of wasting time trying to put on the brakes the Assembly and other legislative bodies should be focused on implementing policies that will see this new opportunity implemented as seamlessly as possible.

Besides I want to try one of these new cannabis suckers.

I haven't ingested marijuana since the 70's and I hear these are the way to go.

Grandmas smoking weed for the first time may be the cutest thing you will see all day.

I cannot tell you how big the smile is that this puts on my face.

I would love to hang out with these ladies. They seem a like a real kick in the ass.

You know towards the end of my grandmother's life she was in a great deal of pain.

In order to help her alleviate that pain my uncle, her son, brought pot over to my mom's house (That's where Grandma lived.) so that she she could smoke it and ease her suffering.

For some reason Grandma was really concerned that I would be angry as I am the non-drug user in the family.

So I came over to talk to her, and I essentially said "Grandma you are in your late seventies, and I know you are in a lot of pain. Hell as far as I'm concerned you can be mainlining heroin and I would have no right to judge you. Whatever you have to do to make yourself feel comfortable, that is fine with me."

And I have to say that, much like these ladies, my grandmother stoned was a hell of a lot of fun to hang out with.

Just for fun, SNL's hilarious take on New York's new marijuana laws.

Okay that's damn pretty funny.

I have a feeling a whole lot of people, in a whole lot of states, are going to be trying to figure just what is, and what is not, legal when it comes to pot in the next several years. 

Drugs Not Drugs enhancer Strength

Drugs

Many of the reasons why some people use illicit substances and kill this, one of them as a modern lifestyle. Can also because of the influence of friends, as an escape from a problem.   

Even more ironically, many people assume, taking drugs before sexual intercourse can increase the ability and strength. So often we hear of a party drug which is then followed by an orgy. Or there is a presumption that says prostitution is identical to the drug complex.
