How understanding.
Cause if so, way to be late to the fucking party.
Typical for pot users AM I RIGHT.

Same with found weed.
Yeah, that way when people are like "he couldn't find his own ass with both hands", it's a little easier to prove them wrong.
It's hard to openly support that arguement though since the majority of your allies are the "lolstoner" types that no one takes seriously.
At any rate, ha ha Butt!

Weirdly I'm really excited that they're doing this. I've been vaguely curious what the situation is now that the new laws are passed. Posession and use is legal, and in about a year commercial sale will be legal and regulated. But I'm curious, are companies still drug testing? Is there new drug tourism?
Does the punchline mean that Khoo tests Mike and Jerry?
But lots of places will random drug screen and can your ass if you've been juicin'. It's an actual consequence.
Sure, but that just makes you more productive. I'm surprised that there isn't a corporate loby to allow companies to force their employees to take adderall so they can work non-stop.
I think the drug testing craze is pretty ridiculous. A good employee who likes to get high occasionally is still a good employee. If the employee is high so much that it effects his work, well then he's not such a good employee and there's a darn good reason to fire him.
Plus, if you ever did come in to work high and there was some kind of accident or something and somebody got hurt, that could cost the company huge in a lawsuit. Whether the fact you smoked a blunt in your car before you clocked in had actually any real effect on what happened or not, let some conniving trial lawyer find out about it and huff and puff (teehee, unintentional pun) about it in front of a jury and that can lead to a much bigger judgment against the company.
If the trend towards legalization continues, some companies will probably stop caring about it, since the sticking point and lawsuit bogey-man of them having employees they knew (or failed to find out) were engaging in an illegal activity will be gone.
I'm just going to assume that "Butt" is the front of a birthday card addressed to me.
I found some weed once, but I was too stoned to smoke it.
True story.
Tycho: tall, rectangular head with curved corner for jawbone
Gabe: round, ovoid head, less pronounced chin

And it's not exactly great for your lungs. I mean, it's not gonna kill you, and I don't think I've heard of anyone getting lung cancer from it. But regularly inhaling smoke of any kind (cigarette, marijuana, house fire) is gonna have at least some repercussions.
Thing is, marijuana users generally smoke until they're high and stop smoking. Cigarette smokers, not so much.
But regardless, there's always marijuana brownies.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
I mean you can have homegrown sure, but the best shit will always be from the endless fields in Meso and South America.
There's really no such thing as a drug without side effects. (Be it medicinal, herbal medicine, or those recreational types.) Consume enough THC and there are memory effects and changes to energy levels. Also, smoking it is still smoking something with the tar and carcinogens that go with inhaling smoke. Really though the question should be about relative risk. Cigarettes are a legal drug, alcohol is a legal drug. Is marijuana worse/more dangerous than currently legal drugs? In which ways and how much?
I find it sad that there's rarely a rational discussion on these topics from either the "Pot is evil" side or the "Legalize it" side.
Later the same day after making this declaration, rembrandtqeinstein reportedly caused a scene at Philly Pizza Company in response to disappointing information received from a waitress vis-a-vis beverage temperatures.
Looks like I was right about Mike drawing this one on his Surface. Doesn't totally explain the hydrocephalic Gabe and Tycho in the last panel, though.
I've been following the news of Colorado and Washington's pot legalization way too closely for someone living in North Carolina. Sale will be legal in 2014 they just gave the liquor commission about a year to sort out how the licensing process will work. (I didn't look up the exact details on that so assume the number and liquor commission part is approximate.)
Probably a price crash. Most of the price is covering risk. Take away that risk, and it'll probably be little more expensive to get high than to get drunk. Maybe even cheaper, you don't generally need to smoke as much as you'd drink to get there, and you don't need to maintain intake as much to keep the buzz going.
I mean, yeah, it'd probably be a huge business, but not quite that huge I don't think.
Edit: I suppose that only really applies if it's legalized nationally, or at least in most states. With just a few states, you run into situations where even though it's legal at its destination, it may not be legal along its route and you get even worse hassles than you started with. You get that situation in the black market pet trade - a lot of pets are legal in Michigan that are illegal in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and Ontario, meaning they often still get here illegally.
And this is exactly what non-smokers think of most smokers.
