Thomas L Friedman eats weed brownies with his daughter's roommate at Yale and has a bad time
Reminds me of the last time I visited Thailand. What a country! What a place! Full of life, and moisture, like this brownie. Kids these days don't eat brownies like we used to in the old days. The brownies of our time were unicycles. These brownies are tricycles. But tricycles are obsolete. Or are they?
Like they tell the gay kids in high school, "It gets better."
The world is flat. Everything is flat. The floor is flat. The walls are flat. I am flat. Please stop looking at me.
And better.
The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

Anyone know if the typical Jamaican is different than what's here? I know that's a dumb question, w/ a million variables, but what's in the US these days seems to often be dramatically more powerful than what was around back in the day (not that I'd know). I was in Jamaica in college and all was kosher - I wonder of theirs has become more potent too?
I've been told to hold off on the hucksters slinging sacks at the airport...talk to your bartender. And just like home, there's killer and there's schwag. (Not that that helps you...sorry)

I have recently tried wax(hash oil). I used to make it many years ago, but this stuff is made with much more potent plant material. Just a little dab on a concentrate tip on an e-cig, choose from a huge selection of flavors, and you're good a few days. The first true "one toke" I have ever smoked.
In terms of the debate, this is most likely a game changer.
The totally hypocritical fucked up part of the NYT editorial is that the newspaper has a mandatory drug testing program for its employees, and has no intention of altering it.

In a way it is hypocritical....but then again maybe they don't want a building full of stoners working on a deadline. Be that as it may they also don't think its right for them to be criminalized. (I'm making some assumptions as i did not actually read the article yet.)
Never going back to Buttholeville. (Good luck with that!)
I have a complicated view on drug testing, and testing for weed in particular. On one hand in bothers me but on the other it's hard to blame a company that gets huge insurance breaks for testing their employees. Also I think there are some fields where the dangers of having employees under the influence of anything are very, very real (machine operators, drivers, surgeons, etc.) and I actually agree with the policy. of course in some areas I think testing is just plain silly and an obstacle to good business, particularly in creative fields (yes journalism is one of those but an awful lot of people who work for the NYT are not journalists or creative types). That being said if and when a legalization wave begins nationwide corporations are going to start changing their minds on these policies and insurers will take note. I fully believe that when it eventually happens the positive consequences of legalized marijuana will be vast and, as Colorado has started to see, somewhat surprising.

Way back in another life I worked construction for a while and everyday at lunch our forklift driver would get stoned. We learned to stay away from him for an hour or so right after because he was always causing accidents, like setting a load on the second floor and then pulling down an entire section of wall as he backed away. One time he tipped the forklift over on its side by trying to traverse a hill instead of going straight down. No one ever got hurt, luckily, but we sure got a lot of laughs out of it. We may or may not have joined him at lunch most days.

The Life of a Pot Critic: Clean, With Citrus Notes
DENVER — Jake Browne was seated in a yellow suede chair, carefully rotating a marijuana bud between his fingers. “I’m looking for bugs, mildew, things I wouldn’t want to ingest,” he said, leaning forward to hold the nickel-size flower up to the light. He paused, then took a sip of water from a cup with a Miley Cyrus hologram down its side. “This looks clean,” he concluded.
Mr. Browne, 31, held the bud up to his nose and inhaled. Then he opened his computer. “Faint lemony sweetness,” he typed, before loading the pot into a small glass pipe.
“I usually will take one, maybe two hits,” he said as he fired up the bowl. “I’m looking for how it burns, the taste, if it’s flushed well — meaning you don’t want to taste the fertilizers or chemicals.” He exhaled, waited and then turned to his computer again. “Head high. No initial body effect,” he wrote.
This is Mr. Browne’s job (or, at least, one of his jobs). The longtime resident of Colorado — where marijuana has been legal since January — is a comedian, a producer and a founder (with his fiancée) of a mail-order subscription box for hemp products.
In my younger years I would have loved that job. I mean smoke weed and write about it? Shit yeah. Now however if I were to do that daily I'd be slobbering around the house in my boxer shorts without even the ability to find my phone in my house. Ah youth is wasted on the young.

Just FYI - that voter initiative in Alaska apparently wasn't affected by her shenanigans.
