Aspen Weed Fest
Posted on | January 25, 2010 | 26 Comments
OK, you stoners, turn off your iPods, get off the sofa and try to pay attention:
A cannabis festival in Aspen this spring will be the first in the state for approved growers to put their strains in a contest.
The Western Slope Cannabis Crown will have about 50 medical marijuana growers enter their strains of weed. The marijuana strains will be diagnostically tested for their THC levels. Growers will also be able to sell to medical marijuana patients. The customers would vote on a “people’s choice” strain.
The Cannabis Crown organizer, Bobby Scurlock, says about 1,500 tickets have been sold for the two-day event.
And when all those freaks get the munchies, the concession stand owners will make millions.

Well? Pot should be legal. It would save billions a year in drug war and incarceration costs. And then you could tax it too! That is a win/win. Anyway it grows wild anywhere you throw a few seeds. Hwo can that be made illegal? Sure, go after the real drugs, the processed chemicals like heroin, cocaine, meth, crank… yuck. get all that shit off the street. But pot? The stuff that Satchmo smoked every day of his life? It has to be legal: legal as salt.

Hey. It’s their lives, and their jobs if they have employers who do drug tests. If they can survive the “whiz in a bottle” thing that most employers do, I really don’t care what they do.
OTOH, if they are so drug dependent that they feel some irresistible urge to get smoked up, they best consider that they aren’t in any different shape than a drunk. (And a Drunk is an Alcoholic who doesn’t have to go to meetings.)
Like most of my (or should I say “Our”) generation, I’ve been around the nasty weed. But I quit. Completely apart from any need for coherence or anything of that nature, I work in an environment where I may be randomly drug tested at any time. And I live in the South.
They aren’t going to send me to rehab. They’ll just fire me. RFN.
I need my job a whole lot more than I need to get drugged up. YMMV, but don’t come crying to me about it.
Once I retire? All bets are off, but I’ve pretty much set a pattern by now, and I’ve got 10 years to go. And my pattern involves the potential for beer, not weed. And most days, it’s more potential than actual, since I have to be coherent and functional tomorrow, Thank You Very Much!
When one lives by one’s wits, one shouldn’t be compromising them a lot from any angle.
And that’s all I’m going to say about it.

In the Navy, among peers, we had a system. We didn’t have this guy’s name, in particular, but the ‘ski’ part works. Alphabetizing by the first letter(s) in there name corresponding with a number, it would be Ski 1, Ski 2, Ski 3, etc. Since he is the only ‘Ski’ on the ticket, he gets Ski 1. Some called it prejudice until the Ski’s ganged up on the “liberals”. It seems they preferred it rather than spending five minutes ‘helping’ everyone who tried to pronounce their name to still end up having whoever butcher the names anyway.

I am going to go off topic here (not that discussing getting high at 7000 feet altitude isn’t fun, but there are southern cultural issues to discuss that are not getting enough attention).
The Saints are going to the big show. I emailed a friend about the Saints Vikings game (unfortunately I had to work the entire day and missed it) and here is his response on loyalty:

“Sure, go after the real drugs, the processed chemicals like heroin, cocaine, meth, crank… yuck. get all that shit off the streetv”
I don’t get it. Why should you be able to possess an ounce of marijuana but not so much as 250mg of heroin? Privileging one chemical over another is foolish.
Forget the old safety argument: Even the “hardest” drugs are safe providing you know the facts. Their barks are so often worse than their bites. Plus, alcohol enjoys the sanction of law and culture, despite being a very dangerous substance, one capable of deranging the mind and destroying the body.
Drug prohibition has failed. It has failed because it attempted the impossible: Changing human nature and checking the forces of the market.
Prohibition is a campaign born of racism and ignorance. Heroin, cocaine, speed — these chemicals were all once perfectly legal, easily obtained, widely used. Yet society marched on.
Their current illegality probably does something to reduce usage, though anything can be obtained with a little trying (it’s shocking to recall that as a kid I could buy coke easier than beer).
Anyway, the cost of prohibition just isn’t worth it.
Forget the money: Entire countries are being consumed by the drug war. Prohibition doesn’t mean no drugs, it means no control over production and distribution. Which means crime. Like, bringing-down-national-governments crime.
I don’t want to state the obvious, but you don’t see the Corona cartel waging guerilla warfare in the streets of Ciudad Juarez. Legalize drugs and watch how quickly the narco kingpins trade AK’s for lawyers.
It’s a pity that humans crave chemical intoxication. But they always have, always will. It’s time we devise a realistic approach to the issue. Heroin, cocaine, speed: They’re with us to stay. Legalize them and put the gat-wielding thugs out of work. Allow the kingpins to quit the blood-letting game and go legit. Take the battle off Main Street and onto Wall Street. America, fuck yeah.

I don’t want to state the obvious, but you don’t see the Corona cartel waging guerilla warfare in the streets of Ciudad Juarez. Legalize drugs and watch how quickly the narco kingpins trade AK’s for lawyers.
It’s a pity that humans crave chemical intoxication. But they always have, always will. It’s time we devise a realistic approach to the issue. Heroin, cocaine, speed: They’re with us to stay. Legalize them and put the gat-wielding thugs out of work. Allow the kingpins to quit the blood-letting game and go legit. Take the battle off Main Street and onto Wall Street. America, fuck yeah.
