Marijuana is its own special category, but club drugs (which for some reason include date rape drugs), inhalants and steroids are all in a “miscellaneous” category together?...
After a quick search through us history, alcohol was banned around 1920 and lasted for about 13 years. The marijuana ban that we all know of happened, get this, in 1970, and states began pushing back only 3 years after. So, alcohol was banned far longer than marijuana. The d.a.r.e. campaigns and other propoganda coupled with the inability to do scientific studies on the drug created the mass panic. There were not serious problems, other than some politician needing a platform.
You’re going to have to provide some source for it being illegal. Arguably, it was contentious in the 30s, but the first official ruling was 1970.
It also seems like you don’t understand that it being banned 50 years ago is not the same as it being banned for 50 years.
It was banned in 1970, but 3 years after, states pushed back.
Alcohol was banned in 1920, and 13 years later, it was unbanned.
You are coming across as very emotional about this, but you are showing how little you have researched. I don’t have time to bring you up to speed if you are only going to keep your fingers in your ears while you shut your eyes and scream how right you are.
You do realize that your providing sources for someone else who didn’t doesn’t make them less emotional, nor my original post “ironic” for not knowing your sources.
I stand by my original post, which was a cursory google search of us history.
Thanks for providing sources.
However, my ultimate point that it was never a gateway drug and bans were consistently protested remains.
Is your point that I’m wrong for not knowing everything because I said “Here’s what I found, stop being emotional and show me what you found.”?
Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....
If Christianity is man made, why does everything about it go against man’s desires? Does Christianity go against man’s desires? If so, is that evidence for Christianity? I answer this question, discussing the history of Christianity, the cognitive science of religion, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and more....
I am concerned you don’t know the 10 commandments if you think they’re not controversial or controlling.
To name a few most forgotten:
Honor the sabbath day. Only worship yhwh. Don’t make any idols. Don’t take yhwv’s name in vain. And a lesser thought-crime: Don’t covet.
Sure, the rest are societally beneficial. But these that are often forgotten are about control and nothing else.
Edit: It’s hardly ever brought up that monotheism in Judaism wasn’t a thing until much later. So, again, these forgotten rules are about controlling who and even how to worship.
It seems like you’re just being passive to avoid addressing the fact that these are extremely restrictive.
There is no doubt that the 10 commandments are exclusionary and intended to place any followers under the control of local religious authority.
This is like saying “Oh, we just pick and choose what to follow.”
So, if that’s the case, what’s the point of following any of it? Jesus’ words were very specific on that part. “I come not to abolish the law, but to fulfill the law and the prophets.”
It’s not a pick and choose kind of religion, even the christian-addendum.
For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art....
Yep. That was such a good movie. I think that was my point of transition from happy all the time kids movies to serious stuff. I need to watch it again.

It is, in fact, the opposite and in very simplified terms, just a book of how people currently pronounce words and their meaning today. Think of it more as a record book for the time it was printed, rather than a rule book; living languages are funny like that.
If you would like to know more, I highly recommend Word by Word written by Kory Stamper, one of the editors for the Merriam-Websters Dictionary.
So, without reading the article, I’m assuming it’s lethal to humans and not just an issue where we all need to tell the closest rat to have a glass of cranberry juice for their uti.
Yeah, every few 18 months you’ll probably have to get the latest api and re-revance it. But unless they lock up their api somehow, revanced should be good.
I remember my first foray into online in BZ II. I didn’t realize turrets could be glitched to not deploy, so my strategy of high-armor turret run lasted about 10 minutes…
My friend’s strategy was very similar to yours when we played BZ I. He’d go silent, then the next thing everyone knew, he had a fleet of bombers wipe the map clean.
