Forget Planet of the Apes…it’s the Racoons we really have to worry about. Another few decades of urban natural selection, and these masked bad-boys of the animal kingdom will be breaking into people’s homes and demanding a ransom in trash at gunpoint (racoons are nearly as dexterous as humans…more if you count the fact they can use their ‘feet’ almost as well as their front paws…which have like opposable thumbs, yo).

DEA Wants Feds To Grow Almost 1,000 Pounds Of Marijuana Next Year

Does that mean they actually want to do some TESTING? Because apparently the #Catch22 Substance Scheduling system makes it so that, as long as #DEA denies any value to a #Schedule1 substances like weed, outside research is invalid because it’s all “illegal” research. That means that DEA has to perform or be involved in the testing, or it doesn’t count. To which I say, “Is 1000 pounds enough?”.

According to the article, “Most of the volunteers had a relative with a history of drinking problems too.”
Gee, I wonder how many of the “heavy weed users” we’re NOT also heavy drinkers. Also, how many were actually alcoholics, given they’re descendants of alcoholics and therefore genetically prone. Because I don’t need a study to tell you that alcoholics, people with addictive disorders in general, are less likely to succeed in life. That’s not to say they CAN’T succeed…they just have an uphill battle because first they have to overcome addiction.
I smell a flawed study trying to stop the legalization efforts through “misinterpreted data”.
