@somebodyshort: Think maybe JT has experience with that as passed down from mother Margaret? Incidentally, I like your choice for a picture – is it a take on expressionist artist Edvard Munch"s “The Scream”? I just learned that last night on a travel show on PBS.
My dad, an avid reader of the WSJ, said the reason marijuana was made illegal is because the DuPont Corp. had developed synthetic fibers – ones ending in “lon” – but couldn’t compete with the well known, long established natural hemp. And my dad, a medical professional, was not sympathetic to marijuana, or tea or coffee, even.
hmmm, 400+ chemicals… That’s only a small fraction of what’s present in the drinking water of any average city. Cyanide, arsenic, lead, mercury, and all kinds of prescription drugs, just to scratch the surface. You can over-analyze anything and turn it into a monster. Case in point, the word “chemical”. Pure water is a chemical. Salt is a chemical. When you consider everything in the average plant that is a chemical, it doesn’t take long to come up with a number like 400. I think I’ll go fry up some ‘poison’ bacon, and some ‘toxic’ eggs, and wash it all down with some ‘venomous’ orange juice. Good mornin’.
About 35 years ago a coworker left a few pamphlets printed by a religious organization about assorted sins. One was titled: “Marijuana. An Unbiased Look at the Killer Weed.” If it was unbiased, “Killer” wouldn’t have been used and “Weed” may not have been either.

About now is the time for Alexikakos (however spelled) to give us a long, detailed recipe for brownies (again).
