My contribution to the general edumacation of VolNation!

Hemp and marijuana are both forms of cannabis
Cannabis rich in THC (what makes people high) is marijuana
Cannabis with low THC is called hemp

and marijuana is a derogatory word created by the US government to make it sound foreign(mexican) and dangerous.

I would've been negative if we'd hired Schiano and skimped on staff so Currie could continue to misdirect his ambition into stadium renos instead of winning. But we hired Pruitt, assembled a top-notch staff and brought back Fulmer to refocus on winning championships. Currie's gone, renos are scaled back and winning now is the expectation. I feel positive about where we're headed and who's leading us there.

As a fellow libertarian you should know that marijuana brings in gobs of tax money and reduces the amount we pay in rehab.

Also being a libertarian, I know that tax money collected for anything is never spent on it’s collected use. Just thrown into general expenses and wasted as usual by government. Gas taxes for fixing roads are a perfect example, gas taxes continue to go higher but roads never get better.

but less money spent on opiod rehab is still less being taken out of the general pot and marijuana tax revenue adds to that pot.

Puns intended.

This is where Colorado's $211 million in marijuana tax revenues during the 2016-2017 fiscal year were distributed. It was the sixth-largest source of state revenues from taxes and fees. In addition, the industry as a whole has created over 30,000 jobs and around $3 billion in economic impact, according to MIG estimates. With opioid use and abuse falling dramatically the money spent on addiction and overdose treatment has been greatly reduced. So economically speaking I am not sure how you can spin it negatively. Also, states that legalized it, have had noticeable reductions in marijuana use by kids. Again, I don't smoke weed but when you look at it objectively, it should be legal.

I have never smoked it either, but I agree with you.

1. Politicians are upset because not everyone can afford to go to a 4 year college.

2. They come up with the idea of using lottery funds to make it possible for more people to go to college.

3. Colleges don't have enough seats to accommodate all of the new demand, so they raise prices. Supply and demand.

If we hired Schiano, volnation traffic and VQ/247 subs would have hit all time lows. It would have been a disaster for fans/boosters not named Haslam and media

Yep, I was at the point of not coming on here anymore. Was going to take a long break until the season, and just watch the games on Saturday. Now, it’s full steam ahead and I’m on the Pruitt boat!

I pretty much stopped coming on here or doing anything more than angrily watching the games in Nov of 2016. I didn't read any news or anything related to the team until Fulmer was hired. So luckily I didn't have to suffer through y'all last season or during the coaching search. :eek:lol: I was mad butch wasn't fired after 16 and when Florida fired the shark rapist before we fired butch I almost lost it. All good now though. Back to full support.
