Nobody Ever Said Cooks Were Smart, Part Deux


Is it just me or are his eyes red?

Butte, Montana - A "medical marijuana" shop was burglarized and 14 jars of the magically healing hash were taken. The case was at a standstill until weeks later two high school students were fingered for posting and boasting about the high heist on Twitter.

The two students were subsequently charged with burglary, possession, and distribution among other charges.

And on a separate but related tangent...

These medical marijuana shops are little more than head shops. I don't understand how or why the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), which is under the Department of Justice, will bust people for sharing their prescription drugs but allow businesses to operate with impunity when they clearly are breaking Federal drug laws. 


And before you start with the sob story about grandma smoke'n for her glaucoma, let me ask you this: what other drug do you "smoke"? As harsh as the Surgeon General and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are about regulating smoking tobacco, why are they so lax about smoking marijuana? Smoking marijuana doesn't cause lung cancer? Sure it does.

If cannabis is such a great wonder drug, why haven't the pharmaceutical companies developed a pill form? Don't you think they'd want in on that market? 

The whole thing is a sham! OK, I'm off my soap box now.
