My AM morning show moderates interviewed some pot expert, I forget his background. The question was, will pot replace Californias wine country in the Napa valley? Why wouldn't it, pot is eight times more profitable per acre than grapes? The legalization may well change the economics. Remember the price of alcohol during prohibition? Nope, not for the unbelievers. Are products that people can use to bring them some form of pleasure.

Catching up with Washington state, huh? Knowing that quite a number of the states have legal pot makes me wonder why it's such a huge issue for those coming from Canada to the States that might use pot. It's a prescription here and has been for awhile. So how can anyone tell someone they can't take their prescription on holidays? Does that make any sense? Especially with the amount of opiods that must cross the border all the time, it makes absolutely no sense at all. The issue is that although some states have legalized pot, it remains illegal at the federal level.

I imagine it is and that is why a prescription isn't recognized at the border?

Why wouldn't it, pot is eight times more profitable per acre than grapes? The pot expert said Napa valley isn't at risk, but the Central coast is approving growth permits at a record pace. This included the Pismo Beach area, where the flower industry was recently decimated from cheaper flower imports from Columbia. Ironically, the decimation of the flower industry resulted from America promoting flower production in Columbia in an attempt to curb their cocain production. Recreational drug use is a sin. It's induces an artificial reality, that placates and stimulates us into the sin of avoiding more challenging, but more productive lifestyles. Lots of young kids where I work drink and drug to excess. I asked recently, aren't they interested in women (guys out number women employees here two to one approximately)? Nope...they'd rather drug. Oh, geeze, Lee!
I kinda' feel sorry for you!
You must not have much joy in your life. No wine, even?
I am started some raspberry wine today. I hear it bubbling away right now.
I am going to try to start some persimmon wine tomorrow.
I haven't tried that before.
My grandmother used to make her own wine for meeting.

I love the prickly pear cactus fruit. The flavor reminds me of persimmons. I bet "tuna" as Hispanics know it, could make a good wine.

Because we work better unintoxicated. And better societies work. They sideline their personal pleasures, in order to promote the common interests of all.

What kind of a misfit asylum do you work in? Hopefully a bunch of jokers. Drugs are prevalent in the ski industry, so admitted our CEO to me. A lot of ski area managers are high flyers, I've learned. Drugging themselves, sending out an anti-drug message isn't first on their agendas. I talked to my immediate boss about it. Hed like to see the police recruited to send out an anti drug message, and bust the illegal pushers. I talked to a couple co-workers my age who see the problem. The young regulars working here need a life coach, I said. Something to tell then there's more to life than being ski bum, burn out. They agreed. I'm thinking about offering bible studies.

Do you see yourself as a "life coach," Lee?

Can you still drug test in California now that pot is legal?
Drug use illustrates how quickly humans become unhinged in the absense of governmental and religious input or guidelines.

Do you see yourself as a "life coach," Lee?I'll talk with people one on one. Absent a burning bush experience, I don't see myself hosting bible studies, or worship services. I become abashed the instant I address people in number.

They sideline their personal pleasures, in order to promote the common interests of all. Some people work to be able to purchase the substances that make then happy. Most companies have no problem with people using stimulants in the workplace. It is not the use of drugs that is an issue it is the abuse of drugs. Functioning heroin addicts.At less than $0.50 a shot people would not have to resort to crime to support a $500.00 a day heroin habit. In 2020 Norway will give some drug addicts free heroin to in an effort to reduce problems created by heroin addiction. Perhaps the solution to the problem is helping rather than hindering.

It shouldn't.
Learning about history and learning about religion should round you out as a human being.

Like Elizabeth Warren believing she is her genes, the problem with drug use is the temptation to believe you are your drugs. The best condemnation of poor behavior is a decision based in the mind, soul, or psyche itself.

That's a great narrative for an antichrist. Oh the freedom in Satan...
I can invent false narratives to pummel the culture that evolved from judeo Christianity, or I can pummel their culture today, supposing by doing so I can condemn their history and ancestry.

I dated a girl, a mature woman from work this past year. She was anti-abortion, but never the less, a leftist of sorts, one eighth native indian, and a self confessed witch, and pagan.
One time we were talking about the relationship between religion and war. I told her war was as much a phenomenon in the preeurope, prechristian culture as it was in ours. She replied those were only wars over territory.
Wow. So now there are good wars and bad wars, and only christians fight bad wars.
The relationship didn't work out.
