A TOUGH PILL TO SWALLOW . . . WITH COTTONMOUTH
Apparently, after a 17 year withdrawal, Cesamet, a synthetic version of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, will return to the pharmaceuticals market. I'm not gonna get into the pros & cons, or the whys & wherefores on pot and other drugs. My take on seatbelt laws the other day probably tells you all you need to know about my opinion.
Nonetheless, I'll admit to getting the giggles when I noticed that in addition to drowsiness, vertigo and dry mouth, "euphoria" is included among this weedless weed's "side effects."
That's like calling "getting paid" a side effect of employment.
Hey, maybe someday we'll have warning labels on sex partners: "Side effects may include sexually transmitted diseases, clinginess, random phone calls at inappropriate hours, huge swings in ego and self-esteem (depending on gender), as well as the extremely satisfying physical & emotional release known as orgasm."

And finally, no B.S.: when I saved the initial draft of this post last night, the "word verification" to prove I'm not a spambot was "nxibake."
You can't make this stuff up.

nxibake, eh? How totally appropriate (note the token use of the word, 'totally,' dude).
That's funny . . . I guess we're getting closer to living 1984 . . . more soma here, please.
Token use, or tokin' use?
No need to ask for Soma though. It's been in the water for years.
AJ-
On the contrary, thanks for the links. The stuff you outline in the second piece is pretty outrageous. The first link doesn't work though. It says I'm not "authorized" to view it. Maybe a synthetic version of its active ingredient'll work though.
Seriously, maybe you can re-post it?
AJ-
Any updates on this guy's status since Reason published the piece? Is he still in prison?
