'Pothead' a description that's a perfect fit for for these morons.

This morning's news brought with it the proclamation that 'pot' is now legal and for sale here in the Great Sovereign State of Colorado.  The pictures attached to the news articles show lines circling the buildings of people waiting to pay four times the price of pot purchased on the street.  These sub-morons are so giddy about their victory over the 'oppressive system' they have been living in for so many years that they willingly give their names and tidbits about their personal history to those reporting on this development.

Here's a little bit of information about pot that I find perplexing.  It costs no more to grow pot today than forty years ago, as a matter of fact it's highly likely that it's much less considering the mass production techniques-cultivation-harvesting-processing-shipping etc-that the Cartels have employed. 

A sandwich bag of pot back then was called a 'lid'(I haven't smoked pot in so long I don't know if the name has changed and personally don't care) and a 'lid' or 'can' was approximately 1oz or 28.3495231 grams in weight and the cost was about $20.00.  Maybe not as strong as today but it got the job done, so where has all of the added cost come from.  Sure the government is taxing the daylights out of it but that doesn't even come close to bringing the price up to these levels.

So here's what so great about all of the 'Rocket Scientists' pictured above.  If street pot which is approximately one quarter, 1/4, 25%, .25, 25 100ths of the cost of the pot sold in the 'Recreational pot shops', why are they laying down their hard earned welfare, unemployment, disability checks, paychecks from their fast food jobs etc, etc when they can get the same or better product on the corner where they live?  And other than the opportunity to stand outside in the freezing cold and commiserate or as these elitists probably put it 'conversate' with the socially elite pictured above, I don't get it and it's fine because they make it easier for the non drug addled to move up in the world. 

Then again maybe it's social responsibility that drives these dudes to do what it they do, some of the tax money is supposed to go to supporting the schools in Colorado which in itself sends a pathetic message to the students, but remember this is the 'pothead' state.  So in the end I guess it's OK because it's all part of the plan to create a sub-class of mindless idiots out of touch with any form of reality.
