(1,020 posts)I've 420ed pretty much all of my life, and I am still (relatively, as much as one can be these days) sane.
The problem is the GOP *doesn't* use 420. If they would, they'd STFU about it. Sheesh.

(24,524 posts)How much longer will people be able to make money "exposing" the "dangers" of the "evil weed?" President Nixon commissioned a study on marijuana to prove it was a dangerous narcotic. The study found that people in Jamaica who had been smoking an ounce a day for 40 years had no damage other than a few cases of emphysema. OK, emphysema is a definite sign that you are smoking too much. Even banana peels will give you emphysema if you smoke an ounce a day for 40 years. Nixon, of course, suppressed the findings as much as he could, but it came out in paperback and I still have a copy.
