Paul Harvey stated almost the same thing in 1965 
This should wake everyone up.

Not moving to Colorado buddy, moving to Michigan. 
Actually most employers do not random test anymore, especially the education system. Hemp is now legal in Texas which has led to the CBD craze, but the current testing procedures cannot tell the difference between someone that smoked CDB less than .1 THC content and Cannabis with 15%-30% THC.
Your comment "no one wants people who are actively high out here driving and delivering packages", is actually laughable. If you or anyone else knew how many people "medicate" and that what it is, medicating everyday you would be shocked. It would scare the heck out of most people if I took y'all down the rabbit hole of those who medicate on a daily basis and 99.9% of you would never know it. Chances are 50% of the work force is working with someone right now that medicated before work, during their breaks or lunch and when they get home. There is no difference between medicating with cannabis or prescription drugs that people use everyday that contain opioids or Hydrocodone.
 

The mistake the government made in their war on drugs was declaring cannabis a schedule 1 drug putting it on the same level as heroin, xtc, LSD and others. 50 years later we know it is not a gateway drug and has many medical uses. Where states have legalized it in the form of medical or recreational use it has not totally shut down the illegal trade because the fallacy of the imposed tax being used for social projects.
You also need to understand that the science behind growing the different strains of cannabis make it easy for the new novice smoker (those over 60), to find an Indica, sativa or hybrid that is cheaper than the OTC drugs prescribed by their doctor. Many times saving them hundreds of dollars a year.
Depending on the side of Beaumont or Houston you live you can buy 1 ounce, 28.3 grams for $150.00 to $250.00. This is much less than dispensary price of $40-$90 per 3.5 grams or 1/8 oz which most of your semi-quasi "legal" state dispensaries charge. I use that term because when the state(s) legalize cannabis, it is still illegal on the federal level.
In Washington state and British Columbia you are asked to provide an id to verify age much like alcohol. In Michigan they not only ask for id, they actually put your name in the dispensaries data base but it is not quite clear if the state has the right to that information. If a person does buy it legally in say Colorado, Michigan, Washington or any other legal state there is not a problem until you leave that state. In doing so you now break federal law and depending on the quantity being carried it becomes trafficking.
The interesting part is individuals in Michigan can grow up to 12 plants per person for (personal consumption) and they are allowed to "gift" up to 1.5 ounces. The average plant yields around 17.5 ounces x $200 x12 = $42,000.00, this will unmistakably increase the "illegal" trade. Also Michigan law leaves it up to the "townships" to determine if they want that business in their community, which I believe fits our form of government the best. 
Amazon does not sell alcohol or tobacco, so their push for legalization of cannabis appears to be a red herring to me. If your company cannot sell it and god help us if you can start getting alcohol, tobacco and cannabis on line, then why push for decriminalization of cannabis.
Probably more info than y'all needed but it is Thursday...

After whistleblower outs Facebook on 60 minutes, platform is down..

added for context, In October, 2020, Conservative Playlist was officially launched. It’s a conservative aggregator that will bring the best news stories, videos, and podcasts to the masses. We’re very excited to be launching this new, important component of American media.

Are biden and the democrats really this stupid?
No but 80m Americans obviously are...

Breaking news today out of Kabul,
The Taliban announced it is opening an Army surplus store in downtown Kabul.
They are calling it Traitor Joes...

I know this is controversial 
but I am 100% in support 
of mandatory vacations
for everyone and booster vacations
every four months.
Sorry if this offends anyone. 

Most of the smokers I know are functional.  I know some functioning alcoholics, but I’ve known a lot that can’t.  

Raised my family selling alcohol for 25 years, witnessed many a salesman loose their career because they could not control their drinking. Because they never did random testing those that smoked never lost their jobs because they didn't become bullet proof like drinkers think they become.

I agree that alcohol is worse.  I basically said as much after my original statement.  I also agree with the second statement to some degree, but I think that varies quite a bit by location.  

Paul Harvey is an old favorite. I have still never seen this. He speaks the truth and his  insight is spot on. Great video.

There was more money paid to hospitals that reported the death as covid, that is not a conspiracy theory. But it was those that were on Medicare and Medicaid that received higher pay outs, especially if the patient was put on life support.

I called this a disservice by the news media. Anybody could look at that report and come  to the same conclusion that you did. In fact they practically said it by calling them Beaumont transit workers which they are not.
The news media somewhat of a joke (notwithstanding some good reporters) and they never explain anything and sometimes I think they don’t know either. I have done many interviews over the years on television, new specials, print media and hundreds of press releases.
I can assure you that when you talk to them they sometimes never have a clue but don’t ask anything follow up. There is no problem not understanding a situation with something you’re not familiar with but that should be part of reporting, asking pertinent questions. “What do you mean by that” would go a long way.  They just put what they think they heard and it might be totally bogus. I honestly don’t think they outright lie on purpose. There just seems to be very little investigative reporting, just filling up space in the news.

Great follow up tvc184.
It's just crazy like I stated, that it affects those who need it the most.

Just the fact you know what that is is very concerning my friend. LOL

Agree, they do get way out there sometimes but there is truth in many of their articles that you won’t see in the MSM.
 
I could make the same National Enquirer claim about cnn and msnbc and it would be closer to the truth. 

Sounds just about right for the dumbing down of America trajectory.

My poor kids and grandkids!!

The Gateway Pundit is ranked as one of the top 150 websites in America, based on Alexa rankings.
I'm not sticking up for GP or any other site, but calling it a modern National Inquirer is just your opinion. Your comment would be more credible if you stated Alex Jones is a modern National Inquirer. 

"tactless insults", obviously it does bother you. Chances are you have never watched Tucker Carlson or any Fox News.  Your comment, "Tucker Carlson is a communist tool. He’s the traitor in my book."
That is a tactless insult because you do not like Tuckers "OPINIONS" and that is all they are. He has the number one rated cable news show yet in he is a communist tool.
"I’m a lefty and I don’t judge like that" YES, YES you just did it more than once. 
Trump lives for free in your head along with the rest of the right, that you "judge". The only communist tool is you, don't agree with someone, pull out the Cuomo/Lemon talking points and repeat.
Who is "you people"? Those who you don't agree with but you "judge like that".  The saddest thing about you leftist is you like to accuse others of doing the things "you people" are doing and saying to those you say are "you people". I'll give you the contact info of an Aggie to explain that one to you. 
 

And next week the media will scare or upset us with something the administration says or does and like magic this will move totally out of our minds and the SWAMP will win again...
