It wouldn't be as much of an issue without a 24 hour news cycle I think, but I think that reporting on the details without releasing information about the killer could curb the issue slightly. Kind of too late for that now though.

I don't think it'd stop the bigoted mass shootings but it would definitely have an impact of mass shooters learned that mass shootings won't get you heard.

It’s really hard to understand why anything catches on.

It still hasn't really sunk in that weed is now legal in Illinois.

If you've ever been the only one not high in a room full of stoned people, you know how easy it is to manipulate most everyone in that room. Imagine that power on a grand scale.

You should try being the only sober one in a room full of drunk people.

If you click View Forum Leaders at the bottom of the homepage you'll see that I'm a moderator on MB.

The Batlord 01-02-2020 10:28 AM

Does it have a list of drunkasses?

Frownland 01-02-2020 10:36 AM

Yes.

The Batlord 01-02-2020 10:38 AM

It's different. Frown is a high functioning alcoholic.

The Batlord 01-02-2020 05:52 PM

He's still one of the drunken louts causing chaos.

jwb 01-02-2020 05:53 PM

I wouldn't say causing. More like preserving.

So I heard some Iranian general was killed.... https://boxden.com/smilies/olFIL9r.png

Plankton 01-03-2020 07:59 AM

Yup. Iran's not too happy about it.

thats not that bad of a wait in line, I heard they charging like $70 for an 1/8 too. the demand ultra high :cool:

OccultHawk 01-03-2020 12:47 PM

That’s what good weed costs around here but idk about at the dispensary

Plankton 01-03-2020 12:49 PM

**** a $70 eighth. lol Nope.

Frownland 01-03-2020 12:54 PM

Better be laced with some good **** if I'm paying 70 an eighth

its not that much here :shycouch:

Plankton 01-03-2020 01:00 PM

I can get strains like Lemon Mac for $80 a quarter.

****, it used to be $10 for a dime bag, which was an eighth. That's why they called it a dime bag. Sometimes it took the entire eighth to get you high though.

Psy-Fi 01-03-2020 01:10 PM

No more than $50 for 1/8th of top-notch weed in my neck of the woods if you buy from a local dealer. :pimp:

The dispensaries are a rip-off.

The dispensaries are a business. They have employees. They have rent/mortgage payments. They have utilities and taxes to pay. The extra $30 goes towards that. Overhead is the same whether you're selling weed, books, car parts, hardware, food, whatever.

OccultHawk 01-03-2020 01:24 PM

I knew I was going to get laughed at.

It’s business no matter who’s selling it.

No $hit.

I never would have guessed.

Doesn't change the fact that they're a Rip-Off!
