Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for May 04, 2012

Maybe if everybody paid a tribute to Big Pharma they’d let folks smoke marijuana, and we could move on to laughing the Military Industrial Complex into the grave, which would be a very stoned thing to do. If people can grow their own medicine the Captains of Capitalism will freak out! Just like with home brew. Oh, wait…

You’re right. It’s difficult or impossible to make medical marijuana available to those who need it while keeping it away from those who merely want it. So they should just end the charade and make marijuana legal for everybody (well, as legal as alcohol).

The current approach to drug control has worked so well, too…

“Tom the Dancing Bug . . . People love the strip because of its insightful and hilarious social and political satire.”

Right on. For some VERY interesting reading:

This may sound crazy to some people, But I believe I decide what I will or will not put in my body. Whether its marijuana, alcohol, caffeine, cocaine, or heroin. I dont need a government making decisions for me.

Hey, Obadass, what the hell have you been smokin’? It sure ain’t grass. Can you roll Koolaid in a joint?

Yes it was very unfortunate that regulation was not in place before the legalization. I have met people of both persuations, those that actuallly needed and used, then quit when they didn’t need it anymore and those that really didn’t need it and in facdt offered their ‘legal stash’ to friends and aquaintences. The good that can be done is often tossed in favor of abusers. I remember being astounded that the ‘pain cocktail’ made of various legal and illlegal narcotics for teriminal patients was made unilaterally illegal.So someone dying in excrucialting pain cannot get relief nor are they allowed to hurry the process to the inevitable end. How is that humane?I can legally euthanize my suffering pet but not my relative who wastes away slowly in agony.

Have any of you ever seen that funny old movie, “Reefer Madness”? Our government STILL thinks it’s a very true depiction of the evils of marijuana, unfortunately.Or they pretend they do, anyway.

There aren’t enough political cartoons drawn in the EC style these days.

I agree. Though to be clear I wrote the last part of the comment with the prognosis of ‘no hope of recovery’ in mind. I knew an ex-R.N.who quit the profession because, as she put it “We can do too much”.

this is one of the few things I am critical of the president on. He has done way better than Bush and way better than Romney says he could. But this is a big mistake. Legally prescribed drugs that help suffering people feel less miserable are important for people to have!

Congrats to Connecticut. I heard on the news this A.M. that they slipped a medical marijuana bill through the legislature last night. Almost makes me want to give up sunny, freak out Florida (where we REALLY need the stuff, just to put up with our bizarro governaro and his cronies in the capital)and move north.

maijuana weed with roots in hell! next a dying cancer patient will want morphine…oops, oh yeah, that’s OK with Big Pharma and d fedz as long as it’s bought from them
