The point being, I had plenty to spare.

I still have zero problems matching wits with self-proclaimed geniuses.

Namely you.

Your brain has lots of problems. Of course you don't see that yourself.

Haven't you noticed, all potheads brag they are smarter than anybody else. Their high level logic and critical thinking at work.

I've been sober 3 years, 7 months and 15 days. That's sober from everything.

I quit smoking weed at least 2 years before I quit drinking.


I'm a pot advocate, but I'm not a pot head.

Even when I smoked every day, a $60 ounce lasted me nearly 3 months. Hardly Snoop Doggin' it.


My being smarter than everybody else problem isn't a weed problem. It's a being smarter than everybody else problem.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

There’s no point in sugar-coating this. The U.S. response to the Covid-19 pandemic is a raging dumpster fire.

Where a number of countries in Asia and Europe have managed to dampen spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to the point where they can consider returning to a semblance of normalcy — many international borders remain closed to Americans.

On Sunday, Florida reported more than 15,000 cases — in a single day. South Korea hasn’t registered 15,000 cases in the entire pandemic to date. One day last week the U.S. recorded more than 68,000 cases.

The website www.covidexitstrategy.org has updated its previously tri-colored U.S. map, which showed states as either green, signifying they are trending better; yellow, making progress; or red, trending poorly. A fourth designation, called “bruised red,” signals states with uncontrolled spread; criteria for this category includes hospitals nearing capacity both in terms of overall beds and ICU space. Already 17 states are wearing bruised red.

The virus suppression gains earned through the painful societal shutdowns of March, April, and May — the flattened epidemiological curves — have been squandered in many parts of the country, dejected public health experts agree. A vaccine for the masses is still months away. What can be done?

Pretty much.

When it comes to per capita 'new cases', the US is second only to South Africa.

When it comes to per capita 'new deaths', the US is behind such luminaries as Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Bolivia, Columbia, Guatemala, and Iraq, in that order. But at least we're just ahead of Sweden!

We're in the sweet spot. We have all the first-world benefits that make us especially vulnerable: first-world 'lifestyle' risk factors like heart disease and age, plus the first-world benefits of reasonable transportation; but then we have a crap medical system and a corrupt, elite-protective political system that writes off mere peons, and that rivals any repressive plutocracy on the planet.


YAY US !!!

You must think you're one of the elite that's going to be looked-after medically and financially.
