I've spent the last 17 years working to legalize cannabis in the US. Currently director of PR and GR at GraniteLeaf Cannabis in NH and board member at Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP). Opinions are my own. I love curling.

THIS HEAT WAVE IS FAR TOO HOT! THE SUN MUST SHINE LESS BRIGHTLY!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
THIS HEAT WAVE IS FAR TOO HOT. AMERICA WAS NEVER THIS HOT DURING THE "GILDED AGE," WHEN OUR NATION WAS GREAT. MANY BELIEVE THE SUN IS "NON-PARTISAN," BUT IF SO WHY HAS IT BEEN BEHAVING VIOLENTLY, LIKE A MEMBER OF THE RADICAL LEFT?!?! THE SUN MUST SHINE LESS BRIGHTLY!!!!! IF THE SUN DOES NOT MAKE AMERICA COOL AGAIN, BLAME IT ON THE SUN. (THERE USED TO BE A SONG CALLED BLAME IT ON THE RAIN, BUT IT WAS FAKE NEWS AND EVEN THE SINGERS WERE FAKE.) THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. --PRESIDENT OF NOTHING MATT SIMON, MAN OF MEANS, BY NO MEANS KING OF THE ROAD

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

Should New Hampshire continue fining and arresting adults for cannabis possession? Today, the House said "absolutely not," passing HB 198 in a 208-125 vote. 1/5

Now why would any red-blooded American believe that authoritarian Russia, with its truly fake elections and its policy of murdering or "disappearing" anybody who dares to oppose their Dear (former KGB agent) Leader, is a better place than Canada? That Tucker Carlson must really be one helluva drug.

“I don’t go to Canada anymore,” said Joe Rogan, who claimed that he would “rather go to Russia than Canada.”

“In addition to supporting the acquisition of Canada, Rogan has called for the U.S. to seize Mexico as well.”

Why would any loyal Canadian support this guy’s podcast, or anything he does?
Rogan Takes Stand Against Canada as Trump’s Trade War Rages
The podcaster called the Canadian government “terrible,” but praised Canadians.

Ok, I've been lurking for a bit and I think I like it here!

Before I start skeeting about serious and semi-serious topics, I would like to begin by sharing a gif of my favorite cartoon character, Huckleberry Hound. (I think he would like it here, too.)
