not when there's only one person in the house to eat it.
and not when you hate 'chopping' as much as i do.


$2.79 for 3# of a basic mix at CostCo. Washed, ready to eat-- perfect for
"starving" teens who don't want to wait/take the time to cut up something,
ensures they get SOME veggies. You can always add to it, to make a more
complete salad. Great for picnics/etc., too.
Also, takes up less space than getting all the basic ingredients and "doing it
yourself"-- and less wastage since it is rare to use up all the "basic
ingredients" all at the same time.
And... there are areas of this country where growing lettuce is NOT really an
option. Like here in San Diego.... Need water, decent soil and cool temps. Even
planted in January, lettuce (and other greens) seedlings tend to bolt before
getting to a size to harvest. And, are tough and often harsh tasting.

Well, I'm more like the Rockies, but the t-shirt filling is more like the Alps.

Or is that the t-shirt filling are more like the Alps.

Either way, it's definitely not the prairies.

Even if the government made nothing on taxing pot, it would save on all
sorts of expenses in the Justice system. There would also be a huge
improvement in sociology expenses. Kids would be more likely to work than
sell pot. People could save on pain control costs. There is quite a bit of
information available on which plants give a low sustained effect, which are
best to eat rather than smoke, etc. The people involved with medical
marijuana have this information. Little old ladies who would never smoke,
can eat half a muffin in the morning, and the other half at night. And
unlike booze, you know the effect right away and can keep from getting
higher than you are if you're smoking.

There is a lot of difference in $3.99 per pound and $100.00 per ounce
(the
only plan I have heard proposed involves having a sin tax on it to raise
the
retail cost to "street market" value). Motivation level increases. I'm
not
saying that there would be *no* sales at all, just that the level of
commerce would not be what you would expect at first blush.
BTW, sometimes I buy the premade salad stuff so I can get 3-4 kinds of
salad greens, plus carrots and other veggies. If I bought the items
seperately and assembled them, the cost would be close to the same for a
single meal, and the way we are always on the run, one meal is about all
we
would get before it went bad.
Growing your own tobacco is not a comparison. Pot is about as hard to
grow as tomatoes and growing and curing a usable tobacco plant is a PITA.
Tobacco grows easily enough, but suckering, killing bugs, weeding and
finally cutting and curing takes a lot of work with a plant that has a
caustic sap.

sell like hotcakes for $3.99 each. Insane! Americans are consumers
first, and as such will be far more prone to lay down ten bucks at 7-11
for a pack of Marlboro Greens than to actually go to all the effort to
grow their own... or even *roll* their own, if a neighbor gave them
excess from their garden.

I don't see many Americans growing their own smoking tobacco, nor even
so much as rolling their own cigarettes from the much cheaper pre-cut
you can buy at a tobacco store, despite the fact that tobacco is a
hardy, easy-to-grow weed.

Pot will never be legalized in the US. It is too easy to grow, so
the
govt and tobacco industry can't make any money off it. And there are
too
many lawyers and law paraphernalia equipment suppliers making money

Yeah, my bank feels the same way about my bead indulgences.

I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America,
and to the republic which it established, one nation from many peoples,
promising liberty and justice for all.
Feel free to use the above variant pledge in your own postings.

But spending money on the justice system is one of the things that
supports keeping it illegal. Think of all the jobs that would be lost,
judges, cops, lawyers, the folks who sell stuff to cops, the D.A.R.E
company, etc. These people all have proximity and therefore access to
politicians.
The politicians are never actually interested in decreasing the size of
government, they are only interested in talking about decreasing it. Look
at Reagan and W, both made lots of speeches about making government smaller
and getting it out of peoples lives, and both increased the actual size of
government spending (a good measure of the size of govt) and both pushed
through laws that put more power over your personal actions in the hands of
"the authorities".
It is not, and never will be, about whether THC is a harmful of helpful
substance. Even the alleged liberal Clinton administration (and I would
vote for him a third time if they would let me) went after California's
medical marijuana referendum.

I don't smoke, so I'm not interested in pot. Among the people I know who
use pot, only a very few of them use it recreationally. Most use it for
pain. Many use it for stress from PTSD or other conditions. I don't think
Pete has used it to get high in the time I've known him.
