America Goes to Pot

America Goes to Pot

 

When liberal-leftist comedienne/actress Sarah Silverman surprisingly won an Emmy Monday night and in front of millions of viewers including children, she brazenly displayed the vaporizer pen she uses for smoking marijuana and later told an NBC reporter it contained liquified pot.

 

An open aficionado of the drug, Silverman, who told an interviewer last year that, “I have very few vivid memories because I smoke a lot of pot,” unfortunately is not an exception among the entertainment set but rather serves in the vanguard of a radical movement in our country to intentionally or unintentionally make us forget how we got here. 

 

Led by our Pothead-in-Chief, America is rapidly and inexorably becoming the world’s foremost exemplar of the social, legal, and medical repercussions that legalized marijuana is capable of wreaking on a nation.

Sure, other countries are way ahead of us in making weed legally available to the masses–think the Netherlands, for example–but what other country is able to boast that its head of state, the person who should be a role model for his people, started out in life as a pothead?

In his supposed memoir, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” Barack Hussein Obama proudly conceded he was a heavy pot smoker in his misbegotten youth in Hawaii as well as a member, indeed, a leader, of law-breakers known as the “Choom Gang,” choom referring to smoking weed. 

According to David Maraniss’ “Barack Obama: The Story,” then-Barry Obama popularized a new, pot-smoking trend known as “TA” (“total absorption”) and “roof hits,” (smoking joints with car windows rolled up to keep any smoke escaping), and he often cut the choom line when a joint was being passed around yelling “interception.”

In 2004, President Obama sent a mixed message when he declared, “I think the War on Drugs has been an utter failure . . . but I’m not somebody who believes in the legalization of marijuana.”  In other words, the War on Drugs has been a total travesty, thereby suggesting that marijuana and other drug laws were somehow flawed, at the same time he indicated he fully supported their enforcement.

To his credit, and he deserves precious little credit for anything, . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=38750.)

America, Polluted Pot Paradise

When the truth finally got out that President Barack Hussein Obama had been both a marijuana and “blow” (cocaine/heroin) aficionado during his high school years, it was only a matter of time before his government would start winking at drug use in America, to the

detriment of the health and safety of druggies and the public alike.

Of course, that truth had long been out there thanks to his confessions in his 1995 memoir, “Dreams From My Father,” about using marijuana and “maybe a little blow” during his high school days in Hawaii, a memoir that soared to best seller lists after he began to make noises regarding running for the presidency before he had served even two years in the U.S. Senate.

It seemed that no one had really read his “Dreams” or really cared.  

As his biographer David Maraniss wrote, not only was the future leader of the Free World a heavy pot-smoker but a leader in the “Choom Gang,” slang for a group of potheads with a “Choomwagon, he was also a drug innovator “known for starting a few pot-smoking trends.”  Those innovations included “Total Absorption” or “TA” involving restricting exhaling; “you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around” because, “Wasting good bud smoke was not tolerated.”

Maraniss added that Obama was even known for his “Interceptions,” i.e., when he “elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted ‘Intercepted!,’ and took an extra hit.”

Evidently, the future president was more than your average pothead though, unfortunately, he was never arrested.  Evidently, too, Obama helped create the aura of today’s drug culture as surely as fellow Democrat Bill Clinton contributed to the popularity of oral sex practices especially among young people who felt, Hey, if they can do it, why can’t we?

Flash forward a few decades to Obama in the White House when he bemoaned the fact young African-Americans are incarcerated for minor drug offenses, like pot smoking, at 10 times the rate of whites.  That stat was due to the other fact that blacks commit 10 times the number of crimes whites do, although he failed to mention that. . . .
