It seems like this should be a concise article. Obviously, a Chinese Cartel is far more dangerous, and every effort should be made to eradicate it. Well, you would be wrong.

NHGOP “Leader” Jason Osborne … I’m Helpless; Totally Helpless
Jason Osborne still does NOT understand why the NHGOP in particular … and the GOP generally … performed so abysmally in 2022. His thinking is STUCK in the 90s, or maybe the 80s or 70s. He believes that voters only think about the “top-of-the-ticket” and then fill in the same Party as their top-of-the-ticket choice … Read more
Bananas Guide To Living In A Banana Republic
Sic transit Gloria, as the saying goes. Nowhere is this more true than Vermont where the fading charm of being a dairy farmer’s delight, a land flowing with maple syrup and RBST free cream to help wash down your organic coffee, has been replaced by becoming a third-residence getaway for the uber-wealthy who excel at … Read more
The New Racism – Legal Weed Industry is Too Damn White
The Racial Justice Alliance is pissed. The legal weed industry is too damn white, they say. Not enough people of color. And they say it was built to be that way, and they demand that Vermont change theirs.

Legal Weed in California Leads to More Marijuana Enforcement (not less).
I could care less if you smoke pot. I have cared a great deal about the effort by various factions to get the state’s permission to grow or use the stuff. That was always going to come with strings and taxes. More government not less. A regulatory system, inspectors, and more enforcement. California is proving me right.
More Fatal Crashes on 4-20 after 4:20PM Study Shows
I could write about the Union-paid-for anti-gun rally at the NH statehouse today, or how they are protesting alongside the 420 pot rally folks who will also be there, but I decided to post this instead.
Researchers sought to learn whether there was any added risk of driving on April 20 – a recognized day of celebration in the United States among pot enthusiasts – when marijuana use is trumpeted and encouraged and legal sales are noticeably higher. And after examining 25 years of traffic crash data, what they found was a 12 percent increased risk of a fatal car crash taking place that day after 4:20 pm, the unofficial kickoff time of the drug’s holiday.
“Weed” Be Taking a ‘LaChance’ with Federal Firearms Laws
Legal use of marijuana and federal firearms laws don’t mix.

Smoking Weed With Dignity
Chuck Weed is back again to take another shot at the death with dignity bill. This year it is called HB531 and according to this morning’s paper it is about to die without much dignity. I think we can call that smoking Weed. (Sorry medical marijuana advocates, this is not a story about pot.)
