You think omniscience comes without burnout? Hell no. Even God needed something to take … [Read more...] about God’s in the Garden Again—And He’s Rolling One Up

Weed, Warranties, and Wreckage: Connecticut’s Green Dream Goes Up in Smoke

Connecticut’s High Horse: Now with More Cops and Less Weed
Look, we’ve talked about this before. More than once. Hell, I’ve practically worn out the keystrokes ranting about Connecticut’s weed policies — but somehow, this nonsense keeps popping up in my feeds like a bad edible trip that just won’t end. So here we are again, dragging these two legislative stink bombs — SB 970 and HB 7181 — back into the light where they belong.Because … [Read more...] about Connecticut’s High Horse: Now with More Cops and Less Weed
