They harvest marijuana at a different time of year in Britain.

A word of advice to the British. Get rid of that bunch of parasitic aristocrats, starting with the old witch.

Lewis Carroll: “The time has come,” the Walrus said, “To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings.”

And that’s why they call him Zonker.

Zonk has his priorities.

I wonder if British marijuana is grown in India, like the tea

Can Zonker get his “favorite brownies” through customs?

And I wish Old Liz" were MY grandmother!!

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Priorities. You couldn’t just call up and have weed delivered in those days. :)

please remember that these strips are decades old. old witch was middle aged at this point in time.

Actually, she’s fine. Some of the others, not so.

Royalty does serve a useful purpose in diverting most tabloid attention away from the actual government, at least until someone like Boris Johnson became Prime Minister with his own diverting picadillos. However, their functions probably could be performed much more cheaply.

Zonk could name one of his pot strains with a royal theme of some kind. “Randy Andy?” “Queensbud?” Feel free to chime in.

As with my farming family harvest’s first all else is secondary!

We all have our priorities.

Today, the US Coast Guard intercepted a boat carrying 2000 pounds of pot. The entire 1800 pounds was turned over to local authorities, who had to use trucks to haul all 1600 pounds to a secure site, where the 1400 pounds will be stored before burning. Officials estimate that it will take several hours for the entire 1000 pounds to be burned. The local workers entrusted with burning the 500 pounds will be observed closely by officials to make sure the entire 250 pounds is destroyed properly!

Police estimate the street value of the 125 pounds at $3.7 million.

Not sure America has much room to “dis” somebody else’s form of government with all that’s going on in Washington and Trumpmania these days.

Excellent. The monarchy could use a little marijuana.

It’s my understanding that Royalty brings in lots of tourism. It’s doubtful the country will want to get rid of that kind of a money draw.
