Sure - right it didn't happen. Its completely unbelievable someone could smuggle 45 POUNDS across the border - that's SO MUCH and there's no way they could do it without getting caught! Surely that never happens.
BTW, two things
a) pot doesn't "ensure the death" of anyone you fucking moron
b) I never said we were productive members of society, only that we all have PhDs now.
Happens every day. Rarely does the lowlife that chooses to sell illegal drugs turn out well. That is the most unbelievable part of your story. Drugs have killed many, including pot. Definitely kills brain cells and I appreciate the demonstration of that.
Forgive me for insinuating that you might be a productive member of society. What was I thinking?
You don't even know anyone who chose to sell pot, so how the fuck would you know? Everyone I know who sold or used pot turned out fine. Heck one of the university medalists (straight A's) who had a triple major in chemistry, biology, and some liberal art I forget, was a pot smoker.
Name one person that pot killed and cite one scientific study that shows the drug THC itself kills brain cells Certainly inhaling the byproducts of combustion is not good, but there are more ways to do pot than by lighting it on fire.
Rightwingers generally do not view research scientists as "productive members" of society.[/QUOTE]
Actually untrue. Righties look at things in a fairly liberal way as regards research. If your goal is to come up with something that will benefit mankind they are pretty much for it. On the other hand , if you are trying to "prove" something that is allready known and wish to spend lots of money doing it...then they kind of don't like that.
The shrimp on the treadmill is an excellent example of that. Showing that a sick shrimp is easier prey for a predator is pretty much a no brainer. All of natural history show's that to be true. So spending 600K on something that is allready known is considered wasteful.
I tend to agree with them.
