Understanding the Obvious

<div style="text-align: justify;">Today, to understand the most basic and obvious reality, people seem to need a &ldquo;study,&quot; and a lot of money wasted. What an abysmal situation.<br />

New! Improved! Buy pot from Stone-a-Matic!

<div style="text-align: justify;">There you go: tobacco vending machines are &quot;out&quot;, but marijuana vending machines are &quot;in&quot;! &mdash; for &quot;medical use,&quot; of course! Keep yourself drugged-up in the junk science &quot;therapeutic&quot; society!<br />

Understanding Confusion

<div style="text-align: justify;">&quot;I often come across writings by people on our side who are utterly astonished by the contradictions of the ‘antis’ &ndash; ban proponents who say they are ‘liberal’ or ‘progressive’ and, in the same breath, show utter contempt for the treatment smokers are the victims of. Some of the activists on our side also get involved in endless polemics on how much of the ‘reasonable smoking restrictions’ is ‘reasonable’ and how much is not &ndash; and, by the time they are through, they find themselves banned from everywhere!&quot;<br />
