johnnyo53ParticipantLegalized pot is just another highway sign on the road to hell for weak minded people and libtard fools (generally synonymous). Today’s pot ain’t grandpa and grandma’s… But I guess it’s just a smaller leap to opioids from the new stuff. We aren’t gonna last 500 years with this trendline.
“I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I

Mick1ParticipantYou all know how I feel about Gov. Whitmer. I thought she was a low watt bulb when I had to work with her. I have to hand it to her, she won her first election promising to fix roads and schools and didn’t fix either, and still got re-elected. And Michigan roads and schools are unbelievably awful.
I worked at the Detroit law firm when we established a cannabis practice and cannabis was no longer prosecuted. It was a very strange situation…we had a very large municipal and state financing practice and it was communicated to us that if we wanted to keep that large practice, we couldn’t publicize our cannabis practice within Michigan. So we publicized it like crazy in the other dozen states in which we operated…just not in our home state of Michigan, even though we had a substantial and profitable cannabis practice.
About two months in, a reporter calls me at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon to comment on a rumor that we were going to defend a doctor who was prescribing cannabis…definitely untrue. First, it would have been a radioactive decision and we would have lost millions in the aforementioned state/muni-related work. Second (ahem) there would be little to no fees involved in defending the doctor, so…no. I found out later that one of our competitors floated that rumor. Competitor rumor mongering happened with some regularity in Michigan, not in any of the money market (large cities) in which I operated with other firms.
Last comment. If Biden steps down, or otherwise can’t run, the Dems have limited options. VP Kamala Harris is unelectable. Brittle, low watt bulb, appeals to no broad political group and is a native Californian. Gov. Newsom has presided over the administrative catastrophe that is California…and none of the other 49 states want to see a Californian president in any event, sort of like the Catholics hating the idea of a Jesuit pope. Buttigieg is barely hanging on to his current job and has no popular appeal. President Whitmer? The gorge rises…

Mick1ParticipantBTW, supposedly safe and tested California cannabis…isn’t.
