Right. So, someone who is 65 (senior citizen) was smoking weed and listening to actual good music

 

 

 

Way Before you listened to mumble rap while chewing an edible gummy worm ; )

Wha????

 

He don't give a damn about any trumpet-playing band!!!

 

I smoked my first one in 1967 while listening to Purple Haze. My best friend's older brother had bought it, and it was, like, psychedelic baby! He went on to form a band that had some limited success with "Phasors on Stun". I went from their house to dinner at the golf club with my parents. The Doors were on Ed Sullivan doing Light My Fire. It was all just so...... groovy, baby!

 

But you try to tell that to kids these days, and......

edgy stuff... if your co worker broke your workplace rules that everyone else follows you suggest they all go to bat for him just because? then suggest theyre cowards for not and then cast aspersions as to their religious backgrounds and political leanings?? i dont think i can handle all your tolerance in 1 sitting. thanks for sharing though

Chronic pain and PTSD are no joke. I have both. If medical marijuana can reduce or eliminate the use of opioids for pain. That's a good thing.

Nobody mentioned chronic pain. At all.

I know this was the rumor of the day, and people love to repeat it, but has anyone ever seen any actual proof of it? You seem pretty confident in the assertion, can you provide some evidence to back it up? If not, do t you think it would be better to at least use words like “allegedly” “supposedly” or “possibly”, something to share in your uncertainty, as opposed to presenting it as a statement of fact? As far as I know, there has never been a confirmation, it was only a rumor because society these days love rumors and think they have a right to know ever second of someone’s life.

Hardly a rumor. Multiple test failures, multiple suspensions.

 

https://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/dustin-johnson-suspended-pga-tour-after-positive-test-cocaine

 

Now, maybe the sources got it completely wrong (PGA Tour didn't announce about the tests), but it's never really been debated since that news came out.

 

In fairness, the PGA Tour announced the 6 month "suspension" in 2014 was voluntary, so there is a point there that it wasn't a real suspension. Effect is the same, but maybe only the previous suspension and the "voluntary leave".
