Can't we all just get a bong?

I just got this from Anonymous who says he filched it from Unknown. Unknown probably filched it from somebody else.

I have reason to believe that Somebody Somewhere Sometime actually drew it and thought it belonged to him or her. Maybe a Terrorist drew it first.

I hope to jesus it wasn't Walt Disney, because he has a googol (10^100) of lawyers, and every one of them is mean as rattlesnakes. If you put The Littlest Mermaid on a birthday cake and Disney doesn't get U$0.08 for it, eight Disney lawyers will show up the next day and shut your bakery down and seize your house and microwave your poodle.

Here is dozens of magical happy famous charming beloved Disney characters doing Unspeakable Things to each other that the Disney lawyers won't complain about. Because they know that if they sue and go to court, a google (10^100) of pervs all over the world will hear about it and want to download it.

MEANWHILE regarding the sentiment on this poster:

There are literary and historical records of this plant going back at least 3000 years. (10,000 is more like it, probably starting with its use in India, where it's called Bhang. India, the world's largest democracy, never signed the World Marihuana Prohibition Treaty which the USA shoved up the world's butt almost a century ago.)

How many people has this drug killed?

How many Death Certificates, issued by Medical Examiners all over the world, even in Prohibitionist America, have ever said "Death due to ingestion of marijuana"?

Zero. Zilch. Nada. Bupkis. In all history this stuff has never killed anyone. [1]

If you TRY to overdose on the strongest Amsterdam superpot (I recommend the award-winning White Smurf at Softland in the urban campus of the University of Amsterdam) ... you fall asleep. And later you wake up again. Without a hangover.

How many people have died of machine-gun violence because underground criminal gangs were selling marijuana and protecting their sales turf in America and UK, where selling marijuana is a serious crime? A googol (10^100). (For Historical Reference, rent "The Untouchables," screenplay by David Mamet. [2])

All marijuana is medical marijuana. It is the safest drug known for the treatment of IHS (Insufficient Happiness Syndrome) in adults.

(Children should be prevented from using marijuana, because children are not supposed to be too Happy too often. But right now American children find it much easier to buy pot than to buy Beer -- which is legal and whose manufacture and distribution is supervised by the government, which gets a googolplex (10^(10^100)) of tax revenue from it. The U.S. Government receives U$0 from the sale of marijuana.)

If your local politician is running for re-election and speaking to a bunch of your neighbors and says:

"I am Tough On Drugs and I am Tough on Crime. Personal possession and use of marijuana by adults must always remain illegal, because ..."

then stand up and very loudly fill in the rest of the sentence yourself:

... I WANT TO SCARE ALL THE VOTERS AND BE RE-ELECTED TO LIVE LIKE A FAT PIG OFF YOUR TAXES FOREVER BECAUSE I AM A LYING CORRUPT PSYCHO IMMORAL SCUM AND BECAUSE ALMOST EVERYBODY WHO'S BUSTED ON DRUG CHARGES IS BLACK AND HISPANIC AND I AM A RACIST!

And then vote against the racist lying scum. If he is running against PeeWee Herman, Vote For PeeWee.

And now the footnotes:

[1] A Sheriff in South Carolina claims that marijuana once caused the death of someone in his district. "A half-ton bale of it fell on his head and killed him."

[2] In Chicago one time there was this theater play, and during Intermission, the theatergoers went outside on the sidewalk to have a smoke and chat.

A panhandler came up to one nicely-dressed gentleman and said, "Hey buddy, can you gimme a dollar?"

The theatergoer gentleman replied:

"Neither a borrower nor a lender be."

-- Shakespeare

The bum replied:

"Fuck you."
