Recreational cannabis sales begin in Connecticut

Fine Fettle in Stamford is one of seven medical marijuana dispensaries now allowed to sell marijuana products to all adults over the age of 21.

This news lady didn’t say cannabis once . She continuously calls it pot shops or Marijuana shops. When those are slang words for cannabis. This diminishes and undermines Cannabis as a respectable medicine.

BTW? Your headline refers to recreational cannabis, your brief report concerns medical marijuana. Are you high?

POT FARMER DANCE SONG $$
I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot
You better believe it held a whole lot.
I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame
Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.

I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes
They did nothing but give me regrets.
My mom had arthritis could not walk around
I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.

I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack
After I smoked some to me it came back.
Soon I decided prices were high
I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy.

I bargained for seeds from smokers all around
Got in my truck and drove out of town.
I walked through the woods where wild birds nest
Found me the meadow I thought was the best.

I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds
Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.
I watered at night with a five-gallon pail
Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.

Seven months went by; I thought I would die
Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.
At night I went out, in a camouflage suit
Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.

I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found.
Came back and got it, when it had turned brown.
I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags
Called all my friends and passed out free drags.

In less than a week my crop was gone
I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

They have signs on the back of the buses now: “Don’t drive while high.” 🫠

And people rejoice!
I'll see you in one year!
Give it a year and see how that's working out for you.

NO FAIR !!
This should have happened 50+ years ago, damn it.

I find it really funny that the same people crying about cannabis legalization, which tends to make people approachable and easy going, probably drink alcohol, which makes folks self destructive and aggressive.

I truly feel sorry for the next generation of Americans. I really do!
And is THIS the generation that will compete with the Chinese, Russians, Indians, Brazilians, Iranians, and the Vietnamese for jobs? In industry? In science? And in technology? In every field the next generation of Americans will be dominated by these up and coming young, hungry, very well-educated, and disciplined people. While our next generation is smoking Marijuana, getting high, and playing their computer games, these third world countries are investing in their future.
Our education system is non-existent, despite billions and billions of dollars being poured into it. I truly feel sorry for the next generation of Americans.
God help us all. We need it!
