If you're trying to soften up SLOGgers on the subject of pitt bulls by showing cute videos, I recommend this also.

Paul Ryan is young...YUNG...Younglie....yung...youngoo

Well.

Isn't that all that mattered to SLOGocrats.

Previously.

Pot revenues wouldn't be 2billion...That assumes a "fully functioning marijuana market" when there wouldn't be one. Most people would still get their pot through illegal means, and the federal government would be suing the state and possible running raids on state operated marijuana dispensaries. 2 billion dollars in revenue is NOT a realistic number, as admitted in the article itself, and it is dishonest to repeat it as such.

There is reason to suspect that would be true.

Unlike tobacco or alcohol, where the process is either lengthy or limited by location to produce, pot can be grown in many backyards.

I guess shootings happen so often in the CD that they can't make the morning news anymore

@7
Not adding much to your theory, but much like Paul Ryan being characterized as a boring white guy, another shooting in the CD may be seen as boring black news.

What is it with with people from the former U.S.S.R. doing superhuman (or superdog) feats of strength and daring? Yesterday it was that video Kelly O posted of the dude doing pull ups three hundred feet in the air, or whatever, and today we have this dog.

I notice he's not neutered.

@6. I 502 does not allow for backyard growing. That act of self supply or small entrepreneurship would be felonious.

I love how sgt doom's posts can be recognized immediately w/o having to scroll down to the bottom.

SD, there's a difference between unique and stereotypical.

Don't get too excited about that $2 billion-in-5-years marijuana revenue number yet: http://www.samefacts.com/2012/08/drug-po…

Can someone please tell me why that figure isn't being reported as "400 million annually," instead of this weird "2 billion in 5 years" phrasing?

Are they expecting revenues to drop off sharply as the market adjusts after the initial years, or something?

I would be particularly interested in hearing the reason for this language from the person doing the (cough) stenography (cough) reporting.
