We didn’t give it up for the obvious health reasons: that it is addictive in about one in six teenagers; that smoking and driving is a good way to get yourself killed

seems like an extremely inefficient way to get yourself killed

Vape Dad followed you

Charles Pierce:

There is one sure way for posterity to consider you a fuddy-duddy. That is to use the word "fuddy-duddy" twice in two sentences in the beginning of a column about how pot is bad for the nation. Far better when confessing your early days as the world's most boring stoner to take the Brooks route, whereby one puts aside childish things (such as the bong shaped like Edmund Burke's head) and moves on to loftier pursuits.

"In healthy societies, government wants to subtly tip the scale to favor temperate, prudent, self-governing citizenship. In those societies, government subtly encourages the highest pleasures, like enjoying the arts or being in nature, and discourages lesser pleasures, like being stoned."

subtly imprisoning its citizens so that david brooks will go outside and take a walk

imprisoning citizens so david brooks will self govern himself

"government subtly encourages the highest pleasures, like enjoying the arts or being in nature, and discourages lesser pleasures, like being stoned."

government should encourage the highest highest pleasures of enjoying the arts or being in nature while being stoned.

win win

government should encourage the highest pleasures of throwing David Brooks off a bridge

while high

twinkies

Getting stoned "is not a lot of fun" and has "serious brain effects" on children, according to Brooks on NPR five seconds ago.

"i mean, look how i turned out..."

David Brooks not immediately getting his face laughed at by the host and on the hour by each newsreader is one of the reasons I stopped listening to NPR

only on once a week

Still too much

the bong shaped like Edmund Burke's head

the first half of the brooks column actually wasn't horrible imo lol

Paul Krugman is off today.

this was a pretty cruel joke by the NYT editors tho, touché

Another mandatory feature of the marijuana-themed column is the Current Use Statement, because it is morally acceptable to have been a stupid kid, but it is apparently less acceptable to be a stupid adult. So: I haven’t touched marijuana in 25 years.

Who will be the most surprising pundit to weigh in w/ their current epic marijuana use? Krauthammer?

I don’t drink alcohol very much at all, because I don’t like it -- what it does to me, and what it does to society.
