America is slowing down. Economically, we ranked outside of the top 25 for the first time in recorded history in Global GDP growth. Politically, campaigns are engaging in fisticuffs over podium decor and Taliban supporters. Socially, Starbucks announces they are closing shop on 600 stores, while rappers everywhere rejoice at the increased availability of this "Purple Drank".
I can't think of a single use for such a substance. Is it really necessary that those who are presumably addicted to a multitude of depressant substances continue to poison their minds?
Today while picking up trash around the pride of Minneapolis, a homeless man approached me asking for a plastic bag in which to insert all of his belongings. After chatting with him for a while about my job and his joblessness, I asked him why he didn't apply for work with the city. I expected the excuse, anything from "I'm too lazy" to "I lost my chode in 'Nam", but I didn't expect "It's no big deal, but I've just got a little 1st degree drug felony on my record, and people don't wanna hire nobody with that".
huh.
"Just a little felony" eh? Being a curious young lad, I looked up the minimum requirements to be hit with a felony possession charge, and it's pretty impressive. Lets play guess what he was possesing!
Was it:
10+ grams of cocaine?
500+ doses of a hallucinegen?
100 KILOGRAMS of marijuana?
A wonder no one wants to swap cough syrup with that guy. he could have used some too.
