Inside the Incredible Booming Subterranean Marijuana Railroad

I'm an old fart, and in my youth was terrified of the consequences of a pot bust, so I steered well clear of it (there was one incredibly drunk New Year's Eve in which I might have toked, but I don't really know whether I did or I didn't). That it's now "legal" in Colorado means that, I suppose, I could dash up there on a short road trip and really indulge for the first time. But I doubt that I will. As I understand it "recreational use" prices are pretty damn high ... think I'd rather drop an extra $20 on a better pinot noir.

Link up Al Qaeda to the cartels and you have a Tom Clancy novel.

 

'Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could.'
- William F. Buckley Jr.

 

Forget Buckley. Tell me what a real conservative thinks.

 

That was going to be my marijuana article of the day, until I saw this one.

I was going to save it for when this one got locked. Thanks for nothing.

 

At one point, it was legal.

 

At one point I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones

 

George toked weed, man!! He grew fields of that stuff!!

 

Pot creates the oddest political bedfellows.
