Remember those ridiculous black and white films from the early 1930’s, specifically the ones relating to the use of …shock horror…MARIJUANA!!!!!
The one that cracks me up most is the one where this guy takes a puff on a joint, a puff mind you and seconds later is murdering his wife with an axe.
Of course a completely factual account of the typical experience of smoking cannibis, as anyone who has tried it (and their dismembered spouse) will attest.
Well this latest offering from the federal government implies an even worse outcome for potential cannibis smokers…worse than brutally murdering your life partner with an axe you ask??
yes boys and girls…much worse…apparently smoking cannibis might interfere with your ability to play SPORT!!!!!! (OMG, NO, Not SPORT!!!).
Yes apparently the capacity for grown men to chase a bag of wind around a paddock might be impeded by the demon weed.
“It’s a threat to our very way of life, without the footy…why…I’d actually have to engage the mental capacity requred to spark a single solitary original thought!!!” said a beer monster, yesterday closely resembling a hairy bean bag with arms.
Seriously though, with the ever increasing plethora of baneful substances to entice an increasingly dispossesed younger generation, our “little Menzies”, “old tricky” plays the dope card…FFS, how many decades must elapse before these plonkers work out that prohibition alone doesn’t work. The paper trail of consevative misdirection on this issue could fill several libraries, and yet, despite this we have yet to see the issue of drug addiction addressed for what it truly is, an illness.
If we accept that addiction is by it’s nature a matter of diminished control, exactly what is the point of a punitive approach? To “teach them a lesson”?, well if the lesson is “that the law is screwed” then mission accomplished.
