Marijuana Use at the High Place of Tel Arad, Israel: The problem with legalizing communication with inter-dimensional entities

I promised more context for why I hate the legalization of marijuana so much, and in the case of mass society, intoxicants. It’s not enough to say that drugs should be illegal; people need to understand why. And for me, it’s a battle of consciousness and who controls your thoughts. How can people, for instance, fight for small government and the benefits of an intelligent republic, but then surrender all thought through intoxication over to other forces that invade your personal sovereignty, and the most important at that, our minds and the thoughts that those minds produce? When smoke filled the air of an inner sanctum, it was never accidental. It was engineered. In the eighth century BCE, at the Judahite fortress shrine of Tel Arad, roughly thirty-five miles south of Jerusalem, two limestone altars stood before the threshold of the “holy of holies.” Laboratory analysis of the charred residue on those altars has now told us plainly what ancient worshipers were inhaling: on one, frankincense blended with animal fat to volatilize its perfume at higher temperatures; on the other, cannabis mixed with animal dung to slow‑burn at lower temperatures, releasing a psychoactive aerosol sufficient to induce altered states. The compounds identified—THC, CBD, CBN, terpenes, and terpenoids—leave no doubt that the cannabis inflorescences were burned not for fragrance but for ecstasy.¹ ² ³ ⁴ 1 2 3 4

That is the kind of hard, physical evidence that strips away modern euphemisms. At Tel Arad, cannabis was a ritual technology. It was the apparatus by which priests or officiants crossed the threshold from sober perception to trance, much as frankincense, sourced via Arabian trade routes, made the sanctum smell like heaven even as cannabis smoke tuned human minds to hear it.¹ ³ ⁵ 1 3 5 The shrine’s use window, ca. 760–715 BCE, places it squarely in Judah’s political and religious turbulence, between the First Temple’s glory and the Assyrian pressure, when competing cults and high places dotted the land. The Arad altars stood not in a marginal folk‑site but in a fortress on the southern frontier—a liminal place in geography and consciousness.² ⁵ 2 5

The broader archaeology of Canaan corroborates that mind-altering substances were embedded in ritual. In the Late Bronze Age cemetery at Tel Yehud, archaeologists recovered imported Base‑Ring jugs shaped like poppy heads whose residues test positive for opium—likely associated with funerary rites and the cult of the dead, whether to raise spirits or ease the passage.⁶ 6 Across the Near East, ecstasy was not a fringe practice; it was a cultivated technique. Tel Arad’s twin altars memorialize that technique at the threshold of the inner sanctum, where incense regulated the smell and cannabis regulated the state of mind.¹ ³ 1 4

From that ancient record, one conclusion emerges that remains relevant today: cannabis was used to override sober cognition in a sacred framework. It did not sharpen judgment; it sought communion—voices, visions, feedback from a realm beyond ordinary waking life. Whether you interpret those experiences as genuine encounters with non-human intelligences or as products of hyper-stimulated neural circuitry, the public‑policy implication is the same. Normalizing marijuana enshrines altered consciousness as a cultural good. The more potent the product and the wider the adoption, the more a society tunes its public square toward ritualized disinhibition.

You can see the continuity of this logic in India’s long bhang tradition. Bhang, a paste made from cannabis leaves, has been woven into festivals like Holi and Maha Shivaratri for centuries, with references in Vedic literature and Ayurvedic lore and with colonial observers documenting its ubiquity.⁷ ⁸ ⁹ ¹⁰ 7 8 9 10 Contemporary estimates run in the millions of annual consumers around major festivals, placing cannabis within a sacred calendar rather than on the margins of culture.⁸ 8 In visual culture, the art that issues from such states is strikingly consistent across continents: charged neon geometrics, entity‑forms, fractal mandalas—repertoire that echoes shamanic cosmologies from Siberia to Amazonia and now saturates modern psychedelic aesthetics. The continuity of motifs suggests a continuity of effect: the same kinds of altered states produce the same types of visions.

But where ancient priests burned cannabis to induce ecstasy within a small, controlled ritual community, modern legalization scales that effect to whole populations. That is where archeology’s lesson collides with public health. If cannabis is a portal, the portal’s throughput matters. Epidemiology repeatedly associates heavier or earlier cannabis use with increased risk of psychotic outcomes, observing dose‑response effects: meta‑analysis finds the heaviest users have odds ratios near 3.9 for schizophrenia or related psychoses compared with non‑users.¹¹ 11 A 2025 synthesis applying Hill’s criteria argues there is a high likelihood cannabis contributes to schizophrenia development overall, with a pooled OR ≈ 2.88 and roughly two‑fold greater risk for adolescent users.¹⁴ 12 More granular clinical work shows that in diagnosed schizophrenia, cannabis use is tied to increased positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions) and higher excitement, even as negative symptom patterns can vary; no causality is claimed, but the association is robust.¹³ 13 And among people with schizophrenia, cannabis use is significantly associated with some suicide‑related outcomes, including elevated odds of attempted suicide and increased hazards for suicide death.¹⁵ 14

Jurisdiction-level studies add a societal lens. After U.S. recreational legalization (2009–2019), modeling shows +5.8% injury crash rates and +4.1% fatal crash rates in the aggregate, controlling for factors like unemployment, speed limits, seat‑belt use, rural miles, and alcohol trends—effects vary by state, but the direction is worrisome.¹⁶ ¹⁷ 15 16 Systematic reviews converge on negative road‑safety impacts in most studies, and national surveys now find 4–6% of drivers self‑report driving within an hour of cannabis use, with risk perceptions conspicuously more lenient than for alcohol.¹⁸ ¹⁹ 17 18 None of this proves that every consumer will suffer harm; it demonstrates that scaled access increases measurable externalities—most acutely among young men, high‑potency users, and those who combine cannabis with alcohol.¹² ¹⁸ 19 17

So why invoke Tel Arad in a twenty-first-century legalization debate? Because it reveals what cannabis was for in a culture that canonized sacred space: it was for ecstasy, for crossing boundaries, for letting something else participate in one’s thinking. If you grant the metaphysical possibility that those “somethings” are genuine non-human intelligences, then mass legalization looks like opening a wide conduit into a population’s decision-making machinery. If you deny that and call the entities neural artifacts, the conclusion hardly changes: repeated entry into states that mimic external agency undermines habituated sovereignty and clarity—what a civilization requires for law, craft, and self-government.

There is also a moral claim at stake. Cultures thrive on lucidity—on earned competence and honest accountability. We do not need to romanticize intoxication because it looks antiquarian. Tel Arad was not quaint. It was precise. One altar perfumed the sanctum; the other hijacked cognition. Judah’s priests were innovating in ritual engineering, not engaging in harmless herbalism. The residue composition—the dung matrix, the cannabinoid profile, the deliberate temperature control—shows purposeful design to modulate consciousness.¹ ² ³ 1 2 3 That is the legacy modern marijuana culture inherits: techniques to create porosity. Legalization, commercialization, and age-neutral marketing scale porosity to a level ancient officiants never imagined, and the data on psychosis and road safety tell us the cost.

For these reasons, I reject marijuana as a cultural good. The Tel Arad shrine is a fossilized warning: cannabis has been a conduit into ecstasy in high places for a very long time, and cultures that survive do not hand their sovereignty to smoke. The way forward is not to sacralize intoxication, but to honor clarity—frankincense is fragrant; cannabis is psychoactive. The former perfumes a room; the latter reprograms it. Tel Arad did both. We should do neither.

David Jay Brown and Sara Phinn Huntley’s The Illustrated Field Guide to DMT Entities: Machine Elves, Tricksters, Teachers, and Other Interdimensional Beings (2025) brings this conversation into sharp modern focus. Structured like a naturalist’s handbook for hyperspace, the book catalogs 25 distinct entity types encountered in DMT and ayahuasca experiences—from self-transforming machine elves and mantis insectoids to reptilians, gray aliens, fairies, nature spirits, and divine forms like Grandmother Ayahuasca and the Virgin Mary. Each chapter includes encounter narratives from trip reports and scientific studies, rich descriptions of behavior, appearance, and the messages or teachings they impart, accompanied by visionary artwork from artists such as Alex Grey and Sara Phinn Huntley herself 1 2. The field guide poses a profound question: Are these beings mere constructs of the human psyche, or are they independent intelligences inhabiting other dimensions? That question lies at the heart of every cross-cultural psychedelic tradition, from Tel Arad’s cannabis altars to global shamanic rites.

The guide has not only attracted readers interested in visionary art or entheogens but has also gained credibility through endorsements from figures like Graham Hancock and through guest appearances by Brown and Huntley on platforms like the “Rebel Spirit Radio” podcast 3. Meanwhile, mainstream voices like Joe Rogan regularly revisit “DMT astronauts”—individuals who deliberately seek these entities for spiritual insight or practical guidance—and discuss whether contemporary governments and institutions might align with such interdimensional “high priests” to influence mass consciousness 4 5. This book is a frontier consideration into a new science of analysis and reinforces the core argument: humanity’s engagement with psychoactive smoke—from ancient altars to modern DMT breakthroughs—is not benign. It is a politics of consciousness intervention, where the line between personal sovereignty and external mental imposition is perilously blurred. And it’s very dangerous, and should under no rational endeavor, should ever be legalized in a serious society.

Great Work by the Ohio Senate with S.B. 56: Pot is an intoxicant pushed by a lot of very evil people for destructive efforts

https://rumble.com/v72wp14-take-back-ohio-from-pot.html

Ohio did not wander into marijuana legalization by accident. In November 2023, “Issue 2” passed as an initiated statute—not a constitutional amendment—garnering 57.19% of the vote and creating the Division of Cannabis Control, adult-use possession limits (2.5 oz. plant material, 15 g extract), home grow allowances (six plants per adult, twelve per household), and a 10% excise tax earmarked for funds including a Cannabis Social Equity and Jobs Fund and a Host Community Fund. From the moment ballots were tallied, the legislature retained authority to revise the statute, and it has now exercised that prerogative with SB 56, sending a decisive message: legalization was not a blank check to normalize intoxication in public and erode the standards on which a productive society depends. 1 2 3

SB 56 is not a symbolic gesture; it is a comprehensive rewrite that merges adult-use regulation into the existing medical marijuana framework (Chapter 3796), tightens public-use rules, criminalizes possession of cannabis sourced outside Ohio’s regulated market, caps THC potency, limits dispensary proliferation, and corrals intoxicating hemp products into licensed dispensaries or off the shelves entirely. The bill passed the Senate 22–7 and was transmitted to Governor DeWine in December 2025; sponsors include Senators Stephen Huffman, Andrew Brenner, Jerry Cirino, Bill Reineke, Michele Reynolds, and Tim Schaffer, among others. The enrolled text enumerates dozens of amendments to the Revised Code covering cannabis, hemp, licensing, taxation, traffic safety, and criminal penalties. 4 5 6

Public consumption is the fulcrum of SB 56’s philosophy: it prohibits knowingly consuming adult-use marijuana in public places—including edibles—elevating violations to a minor misdemeanor (generally up to $150), and clarifies that smoking, combustion, and vaping are off-limits in public and in vehicles for drivers and passengers. That is a vital boundary: a society can tolerate private vice better than it can accept public intoxication that normalizes impaired judgment and degrades civic spaces. Analysts noted that Issue 2 had permitted public consumption of non-smoked products; SB 56 explicitly revokes that opening and reasserts a standard. 7 8

Sourcing rules are equally consequential. Under SB 56, possession protections attach only to marijuana purchased from Ohio-licensed dispensaries or grown in compliance with Ohio’s home-grow rules. Possessing a product purchased legally in another state—say, Michigan—no longer enjoys adult-use protections in Ohio. The Legislature’s own analyses and practitioner summaries are blunt on this point: legal possession is tied to lawful Ohio sourcing, not out-of-state retail receipts. This is common-sense regulation in a federal patchwork where testing standards, labeling, and product integrity vary by jurisdiction. 9 10

Potency caps are another pillar. Today’s commercial cannabis bears little resemblance to 1970s “Woodstock weed.” Federal monitoring data show average THC in seized plant material rising from ~4% in 1995 to >16% by 2022; retail flower routinely pushes 20–30%, while concentrates are engineered at 70–95% THC. SB 56 draws lines: ~35% THC cap on flower and ~70% on concentrates, aligning the marketplace with public-health prudence and signaling that ultra-potent products are not compatible with a sober, functional workforce. This is not arbitrary—higher potency correlates with more acute impairment, increased risk of cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), withdrawal, and psychotic episodes. 11 12 13

Dispensary caps matter for the look and feel of communities. SB 56 limits adult-use dispensaries statewide (reports cite caps at 350–400 in different iterations, with the final bill limiting to 400). Flooding corridors with neon signs and head-shop aesthetics telegraphs decline, not aspiration. The cap restrains density, reduces nuisance clustering, and protects municipalities from becoming consumption districts. Policymakers publicly framed the cap as an adjustment to voter-passed legalization that preserves the “crux” of adult use while curbing externalities. 14 15

Transportation and packaging rules also tighten: open cannabis and paraphernalia must be stowed in the trunk (or behind the last upright seat if no trunk), and possession outside original packaging can trigger enforcement. These seem technical, but the intent is clear—deter casual, on-the-go use and preserve bright lines for officers in the field. 8

Intoxicating hemp (delta-8/10/THC acetate and high-THC “hemp” beverages) receives a hard reset. SB 56 bans intoxicating hemp products outside licensed dispensaries, grants a narrow, time-limited window for low-dose THC beverages (5 mg per container) until Dec 31, 2026, and pushes packaging out of child-friendly aesthetics. This harmonizes state law with emerging federal changes and halts a “gas station gummy” explosion that bypassed age gates and QA testing. Lawmakers and industry representatives alike described the hemp section as necessary for consumer safety and marketplace integrity; opponents raised small-business concerns, but the General Assembly prioritized public protection. 16 17

The bill’s fiscal architecture retains the 10% excise tax and unlocks host community funds—direct dollars to municipalities that shoulder the on-the-ground realities of cannabis retail. SB 56 includes expungement pathways for certain prior possession offenses while rolling back the social utilization program established under Issue 2. Supporters argue this trades a politicized social apparatus for cleaner, safety-first regulation and targeted community benefit. 18

All of that is the rule of law. But the “why” goes deeper: intoxication is not neutral. It carries measurable costs.

Start with prevalence. Cannabis is the most commonly used federally illegal drug; 52.5 million Americans (~19%) used it at least once in 2021. Approximately three in ten users meet criteria for cannabis use disorder (CUD), with a higher risk for those who begin before age 18. Daily/near-daily use now rivals daily alcohol consumption in some surveys. This is not a minor recreational drift; it’s a mass market of chronic intoxication. 19

Potency trends mean today’s “average” intoxication dose is not the 5–10 mg oral or 5–10% smoked THC of older research literature; it’s 20–30% flower and 70–95% concentrates, pushing psychomotor, memory, and attention deficits well past prior baselines. Population and lab evidence consistently show dose-dependent impairment in reaction time, lane-keeping, divided attention, and executive function—core components of safe driving and productive labor. 13 19

On the road, self-reported DUI of marijuana is measurable and persistent: ~4.5–6% of drivers admit to driving within an hour of use in national surveys; in a multi-center trauma study, 25% of seriously injured drivers tested positive for marijuana. While alcohol remains the leading impairment factor, drug-positive drivers have risen, and the presence of marijuana among fatally injured drivers doubled between 2007 and 2016. There is no widely accepted per se THC limit because blood levels correlate poorly with impairment, but the behavioral risk is not ambiguous. SB 56’s clamp on public use and in-vehicle consumption is the right lever where measurement is messy, but impairment signaling is clear. 20 21 22

Emergency departments are seeing the other end of high-potency normalization. National surveillance shows cannabis-involved ED visits among youth spiking during and after the pandemic, including significant increases among children ≤10 from accidental ingestion and notable rises among females aged 11–14. Colorado’s specific monitoring regime documents ED and hospitalization trends linked to cannabis exposures, CHS, and psychiatric presentations. As states liberalize, youth exposure follows unless countermeasures are enforced: packaging, storage, and public norms. SB 56’s bans on child-attractive packaging, public edibles, and retail placement of intoxicating hemp are a direct intervention at those weak points. 23 24 25

Brain health is not guesswork. A 2025 scoping review across 99 neuroimaging studies found the majority reported differences in brain structure, function, or metabolites among adolescent/young adult cannabis users versus controls; reviews consistently find attention, executive function, memory, and learning deficits associated with regular use. Longitudinal twin analyses point toward causal harm to academic functioning and young-adult socioeconomic outcomes—lower GPA, motivation, increased school discipline—distinct from shared familial risk factors. Potency, age of onset, and cumulative exposure matter; that is precisely why potency caps and public-use boundaries are rational guardrails rather than moral panic. 26 27 28

Economic realities cut both ways. Pro-legalization advocates tout tax revenue and jobs, and those dollars are real: Colorado has collected more than $3.05 billion in marijuana tax and fee revenue since 2014, including $255 million in 2024 and $179.9 million (Jan–Sep) in 2025. But revenue is a gross measure—what matters is net social cost. When Colorado Christian University’s Centennial Institute attempted to price health, school dropout, and other impacts, they found a preliminary, conservative ratio: for every $1 in tax revenue, Coloradans spent approximately $4.50 to mitigate harms. Methodological debates will continue, but policymakers cannot responsibly ignore negative externalities. SB 56’s design—public-use bans, potency caps, density limits, sourcing rules—targets precisely the drivers of those costs. 29 30 What good is $3 billion in additional revenue if you destroy $10 billion in economic potential of total GDP.

And the “pot economy” promises more than it can deliver. Industry estimates highlight billions in national tax revenues and hundreds of thousands of jobs, but such macro glosses often obscure local burdens—ER throughput, traffic-safety enforcement, youth prevention budgets, and neighborhood effects from retail clustering. Even legalization-friendly policy briefs acknowledge that implementation costs, regulatory overhead, and the persistence of illicit markets can erode gains, and that poorly calibrated taxes or potency rules can backfire. Ohio’s SB 56 approach is to build a tighter, safer market—fewer stores, lower potency ceilings, stricter sourcing, and more disciplined packaging and advertising—so the external costs don’t swamp the fiscal benefits. 31 32

Critics charge that SB 56 ignores “the will of the voters,” but initiated statutes in Ohio are subject to legislative revision. Voters did not approve open public intoxication or hand the state an obligation to subsidize the cannabis industry’s highest-THC, highest-margin product tiers. They voted for adult possession and regulated commerce—SB 56 preserves those cores while curbing the excesses that degrade civic life. Legislative leaders defended the bill as consumer protection (child-targeted packaging bans, edibles in public, hemp beverage guardrails) and marketplace integrity (out-of-state possession tied to testing discrepancies); opposition voices warned of litigation and industry disruption. That debate is part of the process. Pot legalization was slid under the door with a lot of out of state money to erode the nature of Ohio as a state to a more progressive standard, so the friction is needed to push back against that incursion. But when the balance tips toward normalizing public intoxication and tolerating ultra-potent products, the state is obligated to correct course. 4 16

For employers, SB 56 clarifies what serious shop floors already practice: the right to enforce drug-free workplace policies remains intact. In aerospace, defense, machining, healthcare, and logistics—domains where reaction time, precision, and judgment are non-negotiable—cannabis normalization is a direct threat to throughput, safety, and customer trust. Adult-use legality does not equate to on-the-job allowance, and Ohio’s framework preserves the employer’s authority to set standards aligned with mission-critical quality. 33

Even details like “gifting” are tightened with purpose: transfer only on private residential/agricultural property, no remuneration, and daily caps. That cuts a channel commonly abused to skirt retail regulations and undermines quasi-gray-market distribution that spills into public parks and shared spaces. Likewise, the trunk rule for transport is procedural clarity—so routine stops don’t devolve into ambiguous encounters where either drivers or officers must guess at compliance. 9

Some will ask, does limiting dispensaries or capping THC “really” reduce harm? Look at youth ED signals and impaired driving self-report trends: the more visible and available the intoxicant, the more normalized the behavior. Boundary-setting creates friction in the pipeline—fewer points of easy purchase, fewer high-potency products attracting heavy users, fewer cues that “everyone is doing it.” In public-health terms, these are environmental interventions; in cultural terms, they are standards. 23 21

Others will argue that hemp beverages at 5 mg THC per container are tame. But the lesson from senior ED spikes and accidental pediatric ingestions is simple: edible formats carry unique dosing and delayed-onset risks. Allowing a narrow, time-bound exception while the federal position stabilizes, and then revisiting guardrails, is conservative governance—limit exposure now, collect data, and calibrate later if warranted. 11 16

Ohio’s reform also removes the “social equity program” infrastructure set up by Issue 2 and instead routes dollars to host communities. There are competing visions here. One approach tries to engineer market participation by demographic; another funds the municipalities dealing with traffic, policing, and neighborhood quality-of-life issues. SB 56 chooses the latter—arguably the more immediate public good. 18

It bears repeating: the brain is the target of cannabis. THC acts on CB1 receptors, modulating memory and executive function. Adolescents and young adults—still wiring frontal networks—are the danger zone. Longitudinal and neuroimaging research consistently finds functional and structural differences in regular users (hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, memory circuits), and twin studies find cannabis linked to lower educational attainment and income even when shared genetic/environmental factors are controlled. Potency caps and public-use restrictions are therefore not “morality laws”; they are harm-minimization laws rooted in neurobiology and cohort data. 27 26 28

Finally, consider culture. The productive society you champion—builders, operators, craftspeople, engineers, nurses, pilots—depends on attentional control, planning horizons, and the capacity to endure discomfort without reaching for chemical shortcuts. Normalizing intoxication erodes those virtues. A legal framework that tolerates adult possession in private but bars public consumption, curbs ultra-potent products, regulates paraphernalia, and limits store density aligns with the cultural imperative to keep minds turned on. SB 56 does that. It is a rollback not of liberty, but of license—the difference between ordered freedom and entropy.

FOOTNOTES

1. Ohio Issue 2 (2023) passed with 57.19% approval, legalizing adult possession (2.5 oz plant, 15 g extract), home grow (six plants per adult, 12 per household), and establishing a Division of Cannabis Control with a 10% excise tax and designated funds. As an initiated statute, it is subject to legislative revision. 1 34 3

2. SB 56 merges adult-use into Ohio’s medical framework (Chapter 3796), criminalizes out-of-state sourced marijuana possession, bans public consumption, including edibles, sets trunk/packaging transport rules, caps THC potency (~35% flower, ~70% concentrates), and limits dispensaries to 400. Sponsors include Sens. Stephen Huffman, Andrew Brenner, Jerry Cirino, Bill Reineke, Michele Reynolds, and Tim Schaffer. Passed Senate 22–7; sent to the Governor in December 2025, they did a very good job. 6 5 4

3. Analysts highlighted that Issue 2 had allowed public consumption of non-smoked products; SB 56 revokes that. Minor misdemeanor penalties (up to $150) attach to public consumption and specific in-vehicle uses. 7

4. Practitioner guidance explains SB 56’s sourcing rule: only Ohio-dispensary purchases or compliant home-grown marijuana enjoy adult-use possession protections; out-of-state purchases do not. 9

5. THC potency rose from ~4% (1995) to >16% (2022) in seized plant material; concentrates frequently exceed 70–90%. High potency is associated with increased risk of CHS, withdrawal, and psychosis. 12 11 13

6. SB 56’s dispensary cap (400) and density controls were publicly discussed throughout 2025; summer committee pauses, and final passage reflect negotiations and adjustments. 14 15

7. Intoxicating hemp restrictions: ban outside licensed dispensaries, authorize 5 mg THC beverages only through 12/31/2026, align with federal changes, and deter child-targeted packaging. 16

8. National cannabis use: 52.5 million users in 2021; ~30% of users meet CUD criteria; higher risk when initiation occurs before age 18; cannabis affects brain systems for memory, attention, decision-making, coordination, emotion, and reaction time. 19

9. DUI data: ~4.5–6% of drivers self-report driving within an hour of cannabis use; 25% of seriously injured drivers in a trauma study tested positive for marijuana; drug-positive drivers increased over time; marijuana presence among fatally injured drivers doubled from 2007 to 2016. 20 21 22

10. Youth ED visits surged for cannabis-involved presentations during 2020–2022, with significant increases among children ≤10 from accidental ingestion and notable rises among females 11–14; Colorado’s monitoring infrastructure documents related ED/hospital trends and exposures. 23 24 25

11. Neurocognition: scoping and review literature find differences in adolescent/young-adult cannabis users’ brain structure and function; consistent impairments in attention, executive function, memory, and learning; longitudinal twin studies tie adolescent cannabis use to lower GPA, motivation, and worse socioeconomic outcomes in young adulthood, beyond familial confounds. 26 27 28

12. Colorado revenues vs costs: $3.05 billion in marijuana tax/fee revenue since 2014; preliminary cost estimates suggest ~$4.50 in social costs per $1 revenue (healthcare, dropouts, etc.). Policymakers must weigh net impacts. 29 30

13. Employer rights: SB 56 clarifies that employers may maintain drug-free workplace policies; adult-use legality does not confer workplace protection. 33

14. “Gifting,” transport, and packaging rules: transfer only on private residential/agricultural property, no remuneration, daily caps; trunk storage required; possession outside original packaging restricted—measures that reduce gray-market vectors and public consumption cues. 9 8

Ohio has chosen a line: adult-use possession remains, but public intoxication does not; commerce continues, but ultra-potent products do not set the norm; retail exists, but it does not swamp neighborhoods. That is the beginning of a cultural course correction—a reassertion that citizenship is a sober vocation, not an endless search for chemical ease. SB 56 puts Ohio back on the side of human agency, disciplined minds, and the dignity of productive work. Further, there is nothing good about a state, country, or society that consumes intoxicants at any level. Especially marijuana. Only people who want to destroy our world want pot legalized in any way, and to turn the human race into a mass of fools, easy to conquer. Good on the Ohio Senate, and the legislative process for taking this very important step that the entire nation should be following.

The Link Between Mass Killers and Pot: Robert Westman was a drug user who worked at a pot dispensary

There has been plenty of time to cover this story, but few have, as they are hesitant to address the topic due to its inconvenience. But there are a lot of reasons why I have a visceral hatred of pot and its consumption, marijuana specifically. And you can’t discuss mass shootings such as the one committed by Robert Westman recently, where he shot up a church full of children, killing two of them and injuring 17 others, including three elderly workers, during a prayer, without talking about drugs. The 23-year-old was a trans kid, and there have been a lot of shootings recently that also involved trans kids, obviously having a hard time adjusting to what society has informed them through popular culture, and the nature of human reality. That is one area where reality collides with the brick wall of social engineering, which goes drastically against biological nature. But that’s not the root cause of the problem here, and if you study the trend behind the school shootings, it becomes undeniable that the consumption of marijuana is common among all of them. In this case, with Robert Westman, as of a few months ago, he was working at a marijuana dispensary called RISE that sold medical cannabis. He also sold handmade skateboard accessories with a girlfriend at local markets as recently as last year. He was a constant vapor, so much so that he thought he would get cancer from his active consumption. So this kid was one of those stringy-haired druggie types having a hard time coping with reality and turning to drugs often. Even mentioning as much in the many notes he left behind. If you have watched the kind of people who shop at these dispensaries for drugs, whether medical or recreational, they are not our society’s best. Very little good is ever going to come from people who indulge in recreational drug use—and saying that brings up the real problem that certainly deserves such scrutiny.

I’ve heard all the debates, and I remain a hard no on recreational marijuana use. It’s the dumbest thing a society could endorse. At least one of them, for reasons nobody is talking about. In some people, the active ingredients in marijuana and other drugs produce psychopathic thoughts that are dangerous. These active ingredients can trigger reactions in individuals who already have underlying conditions. And politically, we have a lot of people who want to make money off people’s consumption of pot, because they justify that people are going to do it anyway, so why not make some tax money off it? It’s a free world; who is anybody to tell other people how to live their lives? So even Republicans have moved to support recreational marijuana and to legalize it in states that fall for the scam. And before you know it, there are all these dispensaries going up everywhere, lowering the sidewalk appeal of all other businesses, justified as free market enterprise. So, for the qualifier, I am against all drug use, even alcohol. I would say it’s wrong to get an after-work drink to knock the edge off just as much as smoking dope from legal marijuana recently purchased from a dispensary. Anything that is impairing your mind is dangerous and should be avoided. When I hear that pot is legal and that should settle the matter, it only represents to me a bad decision by stupid people to legalize a hazardous drug that, in a certain percentage of the population, has a bad reaction to it, and they turn into mass killers. Most, if not all, of the most recent mass killers had a relationship to marijuana, and the frequency of their killings could be graphed to the same rate of state legalization, where more of the wrong kind of people had easier access to the drug. In the case of Robert Westman, he was so seduced by the druggie lifestyle that he chose to work at a dispensary. He could have worked at McDonald’s, Wal-Mart, anywhere. He decided on the RISE dispensary.

So why is it so dangerous? Well, since the beginning of human records, people have consumed drugs to alter their state of mind. And in that drunken or impaired state, a mind loses its resistance to outside forces, which are always present. And let’s just put it politely, a mind has a much easier time communicating with quantum characters. Life forms that live in other-dimensional space. Some cultures refer to them as demons, while others consider them angels. Some cultures, such as Islam, call them gin. Some cultures, such as the Japanese, refer to them as kami. Shamans in Peru refer to them as ghosts just hanging out beyond our conscious existence, whom they communicate with directly through ayahuasca consumption. There are spiritual forces that are just as common as mosquitoes, who are ever present everywhere we go, and once you lower your intellectual defenses just a little bit with drunkenness or inebriation from some pot smoke, you find all kinds of really dumb ideas starting to pop into your mind because you lose your resistance to those influences, the drunker you are. And pretty soon, you are just as dumb as local school board members, such as in my community, at the Lakota school board, dancing naked on table tops at education conferences, and passing out puking and drunk in the bathroom with their panties vanquished to chaos.

We refer to such influences from outside the logical mind as evil. And in our society, through mental impairment, we are giving access to our lives to these many evil forces by legalizing intoxicants, such as marijuana. Oh, I know, the Indians smoked pot, and a lot of other things. The Canaanites used a lot of drugs. So did the Egyptians. Everyone does. But what happened to all those cultures? An aggressor defeated them. The root cause of most trouble in all societies from the beginning of time has been in drug consumption and the inherent effects of intoxication on the minds of the participants. So when you know that this kid, Robert Westman, was doing drugs. And you see the messages he left behind, such as himself looking in the mirror and seeing a devil, you are seeing a kid stepping away from the rails of his parents, who were divorced, and indulging in intoxication, being vulnerable to the many lifeforms that roam outside of our conscious thoughts. Lowering those resistances to those characters opens the door to many negative consequences. And most people don’t go so far. Those destructive thoughts might pop into their heads, but they logically resist them, as they were taught to do by a healthy parental structure of family support. But some people can’t, and this kid looked to be one of them. All the signs were there, but we did not see them because of the legalized nature of marijuana. We were told we couldn’t judge him as he became a her. And he was hanging out with the stringy-haired skateboard crowd, which history says is probably experimenting with drugs, such as pot. And politically, we took away the taboo of pot use by making it legal, because we wanted the tax money. But in the process, we took away our logic to judge various degrees of intoxication and to call it bad, because we legalized it. But that doesn’t change the danger that comes from altering a mind that was built to resist such influences. Then, to make it vulnerable to intoxication that unleashes evil into the participants on a scale that the human race has underestimated. And if we really want to understand mass violence, we have to understand drug consumption and why people do it. And what happens when they do?

Judge and Judge Often: Don’t get hung on a cross or be destroyed like the Indians–punish evil and make them pay

Here’s my thing: we’ve been too friendly to the Marxist movement behind much of our social interactions. There are a lot of people upset with me over my recent smoke shop article and find my anti-pot stance intolerable. Hey, I told everyone back in August 2023 how it would be before a bunch of losers and lobbyists worked to make marijuana legal. And if there is an edge to me now that people didn’t notice so much before, it’s because of things like this. I have watched the pot movement grow over the years by these hippie flower children forces that have been gaining ground since I was born, and I never liked them. I treated them fairly, but their intentions were always to take and take more, no matter how much kindness we gave them, and now they are going for the destruction of our country, and they aren’t shy about it. And now that pot has been legalized in Ohio, a place I call home, I consider it an act of war. And anybody who has looked up my past and researched me already knows my position. There is a lot of violence in my wake over fighting pot in my various communities. I have been evident in my position, and I could tell stories all day about my long life fighting against it that have much more relevance to people now with the context. There are lots of police, mayors, and commissioners who hear my name and know the trouble, and they’d rather forget about it. These were not things done in secrecy; it’s all been well documented. But this whole “you do you, and I’ll do me” libertarian nonsense isn’t going to work for me. So the pot heads brought it on themselves; now that they’ve brought that stuff overtly into my community, pot is the new “Lakota Schools,” for me. Locals in my community will understand what that means.

One thing you will never see in front of one of these smoke shops selling marijuana paraphernalia is a nice car. People who do dope tend to be lazy losers who drive beater cars and look like the kind of people who can barely get out of bed in the morning. Anybody who thought they could replace good business in all the vacant strip malls with these smoke shops and that it would be “good for our community” was not thinking straight. When people say to me, “Who died and made you king,” here’s the deal: if people are free to rub pot consumption in my face, then I am free to cast judgments on it and the people who use it. For me, there is no blurred line on pot consumption because it’s the sign of a society retreating to the primitive, to follow the Vico Cycle back to the village hut of compliance to a tribal council, and is the opposite of freedom. Consumers of pot are weak, and they are seeking to justify it with a chemical substance that hides it from the world where they should be working to make themselves better. So when people tell me I should be like Jesus and “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” (Matthew 7:1), I say, look what happened to Jesus when he was hung on a cross crying for the Father not to abandon him. Don’t end up hanging on a cross. Humans can bring whatever meaning they want to religion, but I’m not OK with the teachings of Jesus if people think we aren’t supposed to judge lousy behavior or punish people for it. I’ll stick with the Old Testament, thank you. I say, “judge and judge often,” and punish those who intend harm to you and your society. And any advocate of marijuana is intending harm to our society.

I warned everyone of the old hippie notion of “live and let live.” I’ve told everyone the truth about how the KGB and the CIA worked hard to import communism to our college campuses, just as they are now with the anti-Israel movement, to erode the foundations of our youth. The concept of “let’s party” was revealed in the excellent Ayn Rand book We The Living, a youth movement meant to usher communism into their society in Russia. Ayn Rand would know because she had to flee her homeland and her family to escape it. And all that nonsense was brought to America in the 1930s with Roosevelt’s New Deal policies, and it culminated in the 1960s with all the campus riots. And it’s still happening, festered on by people like George Soros, who fund a lot of this destructive behavior among people willing to take the easy money and bring chaos to our streets, to submit to communism. And pot is one of those strategies of communism against America. The intent was to weaken our youth and our Biblical culture of values and to fall to communism because everyone was too stoned to fight back. That is why I have such a hatred for the stuff. I’ve known this for a long time. I feel this way because I read a lot. And I don’t take attacks against my country kindly. And all drug consumption, even alcohol, as far as I’m concerned, is an attack. The legalization of pot is meant to destroy the concept of civil society and replace it with a bunch of stoned losers who won’t work, won’t lead their families, and are no good to anybody for anything. Yes, I will judge others, and I will judge often.

I ordered a margarita with some friends at a fancy dinner the other day. People around me at the table were shocked because they knew my position on drugs. Occasionally, I’ll drink something with alcohol in it because the texture of the drink makes it interesting. I’ll occasionally sip on a wine as well. But not very often, and never to get drunk. In a long list of people who have known me over the years, nobody will ever be able to claim that they saw me drunk and disorderly. I was always the one who was sober and had my head on straight, even when I spent time with some very wild and crazy people. In my church, there was an epic battle between them, my congregation, and me over communion. If not for the church, I likely would have never tasted a drop of alcohol. I was never OK with the cannibal ritual of eating the symbolic body of Christ and drinking his blood, which is a Roman way of bringing all the religions of their empire under one roof of Christianity. I’d rather not sacrifice people to the powers of the universe in any way. And I’d always recommend staying sober to do it. But with pot, there is no redeeming factor. Like many people have said to me recently, “But the Indians did it.” Yeah, that’s my point. Most of them ended up dead and eradicated from existence, with their culture destroyed. See a pattern? There is nothing good about pot smoking, and anybody who is trying to sell it to you is trying to destroy your culture. And there is no compromise with it. If people want to bring it to my front door, they will get what they get. Now that they have, I am much less tolerant of their other behaviors that I find objectionable, and they will hear from me about it often. Because I will be doing what you should be doing dear reader, and that is “judging and judging often.” And punishing those who have done wrong. If you want to save your country and not end up destroyed like the Indians or hung on a cross like Jesus, try something different, starting with judging evil and punishing those who commit it. And look at intoxication the way I do, as a slow way of killing intellect and, therefore, the person that houses it. And punish it as attempted murder because that’s what intoxication, all intoxication, is. The murder of a mind.

Smoke Shops in Ohio: Nothing says ‘Loserville’ more than a pot economy

Nothing says loser like a smoke shop. I used to make fun of them while traveling through states that had legalized pot, such as Colorado. They trash up a community. But now they are in Ohio because a bunch of leftist losers took advantage of a bunch of stupid and naive people and convinced them to pass marijuana in the state, which then says to the world, our community is a bunch of dope-smoking losers. I can avoid them daily, but recently, while going to Dunkin Donuts to get breakfast for my grandchildren, my wife had to look at two of them right by our house. Smoke shops have become the new go-to for brick-and-mortar plazas, struggling to find tenants as most companies compete against online sales. I understand that, too; I was shopping at a brick-and-mortar store in Columbus, Ohio, with a long list of needed items, mostly books. But they didn’t have everything. I ordered on Amazon and was able to get everything I needed, fast. So brick and mortar’s are struggling. Plaza builders and strip mall operators have too many products chasing too few goods. Most of them have their usual nail salons and Chinese restaurants in them. Or if not one of those, a Mexican restaurant. But it’s been tough to keep them filled with all the brick-and-mortar failures. Add to that the effects of a Biden economy with massive inflation and over-regulation that has crippled economic flow and you end up with a lot of strip malls at 60% occupancy. It probably would have been a good idea in our economic planning to say no to some of them before they were built. But the plans were all rubber stamped and now the owners of those developments are hard pressed to fill them. So, to save the day, comes smoke shops along with Cheech and Chong to sell pot to a desperate public dazed and confused being taking full advantage of by a criminal government exploiting them until the public rots away with pain and betrayal.

If I have to look at pot smokers and smoke shops, I can assure everyone that I’m going to be a far less nice person. I despise pot. I once had a group of friends in my very first apartment who smoked pot in it while I was gone. I was 18 then, so I was in the prime age for people who did that kind of thing. It was everywhere, especially at rock concerts. I always had, and continue to now, a strict policy of no pot, anytime, anywhere, under any condition. I had a little parakeet that I kept in a cage in my bedroom. Yes, I was a weird teenager. I liked those kinds of things, and while the apartment was a bachelor pad intended to pick up many chicks and have wild nights, I wanted to be married and start a family. I was tired of party life, and I never liked it. So that little bird was special to me, and a good companion as I started in life. When I came home one particular day, after working very hard on one of my first sales jobs, three of my friends had smoked pot and tried to get the little bird stoned. I was furious. Actually, beyond furious. Not only had they gone into my room with pot, knowing how much I hated the stuff. But they blew smoke onto my little bird to get it stoned. I had been friends with some of these guys since childhood. That was the last day I ever spoke to them. They reached out over the years, but I did not reach back. Some found the light much later in life, but I did not forgive them. If Jesus wants to be an idiot and forgive people like that, have at it. I despise people who do things like that, and I, in general, despise pot users.

Just because a bunch of loser politicians listened to their donors about the need to get into the pot business, it doesn’t change my sheer hatred of the stuff. I’ve heard all the arguments; believe me, some really intelligent and powerful people have worked hard to change my mind. After all, Speaker John Boehner, who is a neighbor and we share many mutual friends, left Congress because he saw the writing on the wall with Trump entering politics, and he became a pot lobbyist. People like him for years have been talking about the medicinal properties of pot smoke and how you can make a rope out of it. They have looked for every excuse to use the pot industry as some expansion of business in the state of Ohio, to make it a business-friendly concept to attract businesses to the state. They tried to justify pot advocacy with economic expansion. To me, if that is the best you have, then you are a dying economy with a dying workforce run by a bunch of suckers and losers. John Boehner cries a lot, smokes too much, and was a globalist sellout when he had the third most powerful seat in the world as Speaker of the House. And he went from that to being an advocate for pot in Ohio, and now we are seeing the results of what people like him have brought to our state. Smoke shops everywhere.

My wife is less tolerant about pot than I am. We have family members who have bought into the whole “I need pot for my chronic pain” argument, and we have no respect for them or anybody who uses pot for that matter. We’ve heard that the Indians used pot, so we should too, to be more aligned with “nature,” is what they say. The Indians ended up a culture driven to extinction with their rain dancing and peace pipes. And that’s what happens to all cultures that embrace intoxication in any fashion as a driver of economic means. And my wife returned from that particular visit to Dunkin Donuts very upset that she had to look at those smoke shops because they were signs of an invasion into our community. We’ve lived in Liberty Township for a long time, me much longer than her. So we have watched the changes to the negative as all these East Coast people bring with them their Democrat ideas from socialist influence in the places they moved from. Generally, we put up with it with as much understanding as possible. But seeing those Loserville smoke shops in our nice little community was too much that day. And for me, it’s the parakeet all over again. I have no tolerance for evil, and certainly not vehicles of evil, such as pot consumption. I see nothing good about it, not medicinal, not by making rope, not in a Cheech and Chong movie. And a pot economy is a drain on all other aspects of economic growth. Any society that is built on the degradation of the mind, which is what pot is, even as a pain killer, will destroy your society. And when you see a smoke shop catering to pot consumers, that is the kind of world you are building. It is disgusting to see and hear about it from people who should know better.

The RINOs Who Helped Pass Issue 1 and Issue 2 in Ohio: Freedom of choice to hide the real evil hiding in the background

After more than 24 hours of review on why Issues 1 and 2 passed in Ohio, the right to kill babies and the pot head legalization measures that were passed by essentially the same margins on Election Night, November 7^th, 2023, a clear pattern emerges which is wonderfully represented in the picture below. A guy I call Skippy, who has always loomed in the background of our county politics like a lot of people who think similarly, felt entitled to let me know after the election that he was a “freedom” Republican and that my view of the world was authoritarian. And that he voted for “freedom of choice.” And, of course, my response is that with Republicans like him, who needs Democrats? I live in a very conservative area, but I go to plenty of events, some with that guy, and they drink and smoke openly like a bunch of derelicts and quite honestly, it has always bothered me. I don’t encourage drinking and I certainly don’t smoke, anything. I don’t even take aspirin when I get a cold. I despise drugs and those who use them. So I’m not surprised by those kinds of comments, but it certainly isn’t a rationalization for why Issue 2, the legalization of marijuana in Ohio, passed. There are a lot of weak people in the world, and a lot of people who abuse various drugs, alcohol included who I think make the world a much worse place because of their weak politics. The people who put the abortion issue forward, the attackers of our state of Ohio with a lot of outside money reflecting progressive causes, knew the attack vector, and they know people like Skippy here will vote in their direction because they like their drugs. So they attached it to the baby-killing law and snuck it across the finish line. Sure, the Democrats are vile and evil. But so are many who call themselves Republicans because they have their vices, and the bad guys are always able to exploit them for the perpetuation of evil.

Freedom of choice is actually presented as the right to make bad choices that impact other people with the degradation of the aftermath

I warned everyone prior to the election, quite a few weeks ahead, that Issues 1 and 2 would pass with around 56% to 57% of the vote, which is exactly what happened. It was essentially the same margin as we saw in August when we tried to raise the threshold of the constitution to 60% over what it is now at 50+1 to add amendments to the Ohio Constitution. Outside radicals, after they lost Roe v. Wade, turned their progressive intentions toward the states and saw that Ohio had a weak threshold, so they attacked, and now we know the result. By the time Republicans noticed the vulnerability it was already too late. The bad guys put marijuana on the same ballot as abortion purposely in the same way that candy is placed along the checkout line, encouraging temptations for last-minute purchases. If Republicans weren’t so busy smoking and drinking, they might have noticed a long time ago the threat. But they got suckered and played because there are way too many liberals in the Republican party who are soft on all issues, so they water down the defense of truly ethical problems, keep their minds focused on business only, and maintain a socially soft stance on morality which lets vast amounts of evil flourish in the back door of our society. And they are quite proud of it, even haughty. But when it is wondered why abortion passed in Ohio, and how attackers of our state were able to gain so much support, thank your local RINOs for being lured to the dark side and helping evil seed itself into our great state, which is now an embarrassment.

Generally, my favorite places in the state voted my way; they did not support Issue 1 or 2 in the northwest, Midwest (such as Darke County), and all of southwest Ohio flowing over into the east. But Dayton, Columbus, and all of Cleveland and Akron flowing over to the Pennsylvania border and along the coast of Lake Erie voted to smoke dope and kill babies, and that’s not surprising. There are a lot of RINOs in those areas and certainly plenty of scum-bag Democrats who tend to run those liberal cities. And that’s how the margins became what they were, which voter turnout was higher than usual. If Trump had been on the ticket, the ratio might have been better for real conservatives. But as it was, it didn’t surprise me and was a shame to watch. Anyone pushing drugs in a culture of any kind is causing the degradation of intellect and the destruction of your society from within. It has nothing to do with “freedom” of choice. Such things are hidden behind popular sentiments to hide their intentions, which is essentially a military attack to destroy us from within. History is filled with compliant fools who drank their way toward personal destruction, and now can Cheech and Chong laugh at the social degradation that they have now let into our culture to be, as the Pink Floyd song says, “comfortably numb.” Meanwhile, while everyone is numb, they expect you to walk compliantly into a slaughterhouse with a smile on your face because you have your drugs to numb any thoughts you might have about your actual condition. Drugs are poison that are intended to destroy the enemy with evil; that is why they are encouraged in any society that the bad guys want to kill.

I would remind everyone upset about these baby killers and pot smokers that the best way to defeat them is not to follow the rules they create to frame the argument. I say it to people dozens of times a week, and it certainly applies here: never let your enemies define the rules you live by. Laws, often as they are put forth, are constructed for people with bad intentions to perpetuate some ill will behind government power. The abortion issue isn’t about whether or not a baby is a baby at 12 weeks or nine months. A killing is a killing and evil, the same evil that caused God to give Canaan to Abraham, and abortion is murder, and pot and other drugs are inventions to numb the guilt people feel when they live immoral lives and make bad choices. And that’s what RINO Republicans did when they joined vile Democrats to pass both Issue 1 and Issue 2. They have the right to choose, even if those choices are wrong. They want the right to be diabolical scumbags if they so choose, and they use ballot language to hide their narrative of choice behind the real intention of vice for the sake of sin. That’s always why these same types of people didn’t have moral convictions when it came to the Lakota problems, where administrators were displaying a tendency to have sex with children or teach students alternative sexual lifestyles. It’s all the same moral depravity, and there are plenty of Republicans who live lives filled with bad choices. And when you combine them with diabolical Democrats, you get 57% who will vote to kill babies and do drugs without fear of prosecution. Because they want “freedom of choice,” as some vile libertarian argues it. The choice to be a scumbag, the choice to be child molesters or sexual swingers desecrating their marriage covenant in the eyes of God, or dope addicts stoned to Pink Floyd songs. And if such bad decisions produce a baby with some unwanted sexual union, they want the ability to kill that baby to erase the mistakes they made so they are free to smoke, drink, and be wastes of human flesh in a world in solid need of intellect.

Vote No on Recreational Marijuana in Ohio on November 7th: The world needs more shepherds, not more dope smoking sheep

There are few things I hate in the world as much as pot, so now that recreational marijuana will be on the ballot for the November 7^th election, 2023, I will be an emphatic NO. I’m against marijuana use in every way possible, especially recreationally. I don’t care if you can make a rope out of it or clothes. Marijuana is a horrendous drug. I have about a third of my family members who either have used it or are using it. Some for medical reasons because they have chronic pain, and my answer to them is all the same. My relationship ends with them once they use it, which has been the case no matter who they were. There are many things I can overlook, personal failures that I can sympathize with. But the purposeful destruction of a mind is not one of them. I have always been in the camp of capital punishment for drug dealers, even if small quantities might end up in the hands of kids. But even further than that, I also feel that way about users. Marijuana is a poison intended to decrease how a brain works and is detrimental to the human race. I don’t care how natural it is. I’ve heard all the excuses about it making people “mellow.” That the Indians used it and that its nature’s way of chilling out the world. No thanks. It didn’t help the Indians very much, and for what it did to them, bad people today want to do to the United States, which is the ultimate goal behind the mass destruction of America by its enemies. The drug culture was a purposeful poison introduced to our country because nobody wanted to fight us on the battlefield after World War II. So they plotted to ruin the minds of the youth, and the results are what we see today, several generations of people compromised by the drug.

I’ve never been a “libertarian,” a do-what-you-want-at-all-cost kind of guy. I’ve always been a slave-destroying Republican promoting capitalist economies and an intellectual society smart enough to vote. This live-and-let-live crap is for the birds. If I smell marijuana, I get furious, even if it’s in my backyard. I have gone to war, which is well chronicled in many courtrooms, police reports, and mayor’s offices over the last thirty years, and my thoughts on pot have never wavered. I suppose my hatred of marijuana started in school as I watched kids in the back of the bus pass joints around. It made them look stupid, and they were glad of it. Then I saw a few Cheech and Chong movies which they seemed to want to copy, and I didn’t think they were funny in the slightest. My earliest thoughts on pot are that it was a weapon given to American culture to poison it, and my observations have proven this to be the case over time. I’m not unrealistic about marijuana; trying to find people who feel the same way I do about it is about as realistic as looking for a virgin in a whorehouse. Just about everyone has at least tried it once or used it at a time in their lives. Depending on what’s going on with people, they may come and go in their use of it. The result is that most people don’t have strong opinions against it because they can’t afford to. Well, I can. I’ve never used it. I have been in many bloody fights over it and was successful. And I’m not changing my opinion about it now. Once I find out that someone uses pot, they are dead to me, no matter who they are.

Marijuana is a poison meant to rob people of their intellect, and I would go as far as to say that it has no redeeming value. Humans are supposed to be thinking creatures with dominion over nature. Not a bunch of slack-jawed hippies stoned at a music festival. Recreational marijuana use is an appalling concept. If it doesn’t pass this time, it likely will in the future because many people out there are too weak to stand up to its temptations. But there is nothing good about intoxication, not even with alcohol or prescription drugs. And as I told a family member a few weeks ago, you don’t take marijuana under any circumstances; I don’t care how much pain you are in. You fight through the pain and preserve your intellect. I don’t care if marijuana is in a vaping condition or a little pill; you never take it. It is a weapon of war against human civilization and was always meant to be that way. I have lost many friends over my opinions about marijuana and am glad to have lost them. I had some really close friends with whom I had gone through a lot when I was younger. I went out to a movie, and when I returned to my apartment, I smelled pot in my bedroom, where I had a little parakeet bird. While I was gone, they had tried to get the little bird stoned. I moved out and never spoke to any of them ever again. That is just one example. Many similar situations go back to my essential hatred as a kid in watching how stupid people behaved when they used it and how it was a celebration of a lack of intellect.

I don’t care if Shakesphere smoked dope or Albert Einstein. It doesn’t matter who it is; if they smoke dope and advocate for marijuana in any way, medicinally, recreationally, or historically, they are dead to me. I have been let down by just about everyone in my life at some point over pot, and I’ve heard it often; maybe the problem is me. Do you want to be the only one with such strong opinions? Well, the answer is yes. I would rather have nobody in my life and keep a strong intellect completely marijuana free than accept such a device to have a few worthless friends and family members. Marijuana is the weapon of choice of people who want to control us, and they understand that using the drug lowers society’s IQ in general. It slows down people and their thinking and makes them dumber. And for me, that is the worst attribute any community could embrace. So, I am a very emphatic no on recreational marijuana in Ohio. I’m okay with that if I’m the only one who votes against it. I will never accept pot in my culture and will work against it constantly. Legalizing drugs, especially marijuana, is a race to the bottom by dumb people who want to hide their timidity in the collectivism of mass culture. The more stoned people, the less guilty they feel for being diabolical losers. That’s why they say, “Don’t judge.” Well, I say, judge and judge often. And don’t be a loser. And the recreational use of marijuana is a choice to be dumb and to turn off your mind when the goal of existence is to think and create. Marijuana is the opposite of those things, and once a state accepts it as a part of its culture, everything goes downhill. That is certainly the case for states that have already legalized it. You can tell the moment you cross over their borders. It would be terrible for Ohio, especially when companies have to deal with brain-dead employees who miss work too much and feel that they don’t have to pass a drug test to maintain employment. Marijuana causes nothing but problems and should never be legalized in any way, shape, or form. Anyone who advocates for marijuana consumption as a country, a state, or a personal right is attempting to destroy the consumer. The world needs more shepherds, not more sheep. And marijuana is for the sheep, those who would be herded to the slaughterhouse, which is just what the enemy wants.

Pot Smoking and Ray Murray: The school board candidate who wants to shoot teachers if they have a gun

The Ray Murray I knew back in 2011 was nowhere to be found at the VOA Miami University debate on October 22, 2019 for potential school board candidates. I always thought Ray was a nice guy, but the person speaking at that event sounded like a drug induced lunatic. Suspicious of the things he said that night it became clear thereafter that there was a good reason. Under Case Number 0000477720 Ray looks to have been convicted of possession of marijuana and had to serve a year of probation. After seeing that, I would normally doubt that such a report would be accurate. So I checked it with two different sources and, after watching him in action and looking scraggly and worn out in ways I wouldn’t normally associate with him, there is good reason to believe it and then some. He sounded like a guy on drugs as he opened the door to scrutiny by talking about his years as a Chicago police officer and a champion for transgender politics. He painted himself for an election to be a virtuous person, but reality has something else to say.

Here is the problem with electing people with serious issues into a budgetary position, once they are compromised, whether it is in several broken marriages, drug use, being a cop and being scared of being shot at, people like that tend to side with the worst that our society produces. While its fine to feel sorry for them, and if they find meaning in life in a church by becoming some definition of a pastor, we should cheer them on for recovery. But we should not sit them down and ask them to control a budget of nearly $200 million while sitting on a cash surplus of over $100 million. If we did, we should expect all that money to go up in smoke just like any other pot smoking loser. Compassion is one thing, endorsing failure with elections however is something else.

I would go further and say that anybody who does drugs of any kind, even drinking is a cause to not vote for someone onto a school board. And Ray isn’t the only one guilty of this kind of scandalous behavior. I would say that his partners of liberalism on the school board have done far, far worse. Should we talk about it, well let’s just say, we don’t want to embarrass their children, although I would argue that honesty dictate that we should. When we vote for someone to represent us on a school board, or a trustee, commissioner, representative, senator, anything, we need to know what we are voting for. If we decide we want to vote for flawed people, then that’s fine. We shouldn’t be surprised when those flawed people get bad results, but at least we know what we are voting for. If Ray needs help with drugs, lets get him help. But that doesn’t mean we should put him in charge of millions of dollars.

Compromised people tend to look for redemption in public acts, which is why a lot of liberals are dangerous. People like Ray Murray and Julie Shaffer are so compromised with embarrassing things that they have done in their lives that they are looking for redemption with elected office, and they are using taxpayer funded resources to cover their weaknesses. Because they want compassion for the ways they have lived their lives, they are quick to support topics like transgender policies so that they can hide in the crowd and get redemption. They vote in favor of the teacher’s union because they need a cover story of friends to hide their own weaknesses behind with a big banner above their heads stating that nobody is perfect, lets show some compassion for the downtrodden. That sounds fine coming from a church pew on Sunday, but in the world of money, finance and education, it has no place. People who live their lives clean and don’t drink themselves into oblivion or smoke a bunch of dope to forget about all their problems in life, should be in charge of things and have the public trust. And if they get caught doing bad things, we may not blast them out of a cannon and forget about them. We may give them a second chance at life, but certainly we wouldn’t elect them to a board to handle a multimillion-dollar budget.

Being likeable isn’t the same thing as being logical and cool headed when tough decisions need to be made. One thing that must be considered when we are talking about school board candidates that have shown mental instability, and drunkenness and smoking pot or elements of both conditions, is that upon election we give them a badge to get into any building within Lakota. If they are depressed about something who is to say that some drug dealer selling them a bag of pot won’t get a hold of that badge and use it to get into any school building on a rampage of violence, the kind of potential tragedy that we have all been talking about. What was it that Ray said at the debate, that if a teacher had a gun, he would want the police officer to shoot the teacher? Yes, that’s what he said, does that sound like a person who has it all together? Yet his only answer to the problem is to trust the system, yet what if one of these loose cannon school board members ends up drunk and passed out somewhere and someone gets a hold of their badge so they can get into any school? No matter how much we spend on security, you can’t prepare a school to defend stupid and reckless behavior on behalf of the school board members.

Many think its hip and cool to have pot smokers and drunks on the school board. But its no wonder that they always seek institutional support because if something goes wrong, its likely going to be their fault and they want to always reserve the right to hide their faults behind good intentions, such as transgender support and spending that $100 million surplus on give-a-ways to keep anybody from looking too deeply at them. Of course, the teacher’s union wants compromised people on the board of education, because it makes it easier for them to defeat the board upon contract negotiations. When we elect school board members, we are electing our representatives. The teacher’s union has their representatives and they stick together. We elect ours with these elections, so why would we want to vote for anybody who has a union endorsement? We shouldn’t. Then we must ask why the union is endorsing them. Well, the answer to that is that they think they are easy to beat in contract negotiations. If you are the teacher’s union, would you rather go up against a tough business person like James Hahn and Lynda O’Connor, or some dude caught with pot or a person who can’t hold their liquor in public and ends up in compromising positions, all too often. The answer is obvious.

Its not wrong to want to help someone like Ray who no matter what has gone on in his life is at least getting up and trying to do better each day. But when there are problems managing marriages, money in his personal finances, and with substance abuse, then why should we think he can protect his badge from some malicious personality, and to protect our budget surplus. He’s ready to spend all of that $100 million over a 38-year period and to shoot teachers when cops come to a school during a mass incident if they have a gun. Ray might be a good neighbor and a nice guy to go to church with, but he clearly has trouble understanding money and cannot take a strong position on ethical decisions. Being one of the misfit toys out in the world does not make him a good representative of our school board. And feeling sorry for someone is not a qualification to make management decisions.

“Its Only A Flesh Wound”: The Dayton Mass Killer and his liberal, cocaine driven murders

OK, I’m happy to say I told you so dear reader. Within hours of the Dayton mass shooting rampage that has so many calling for gun control, we learned this week that the killer had cocaine in his body, he even had a bag of it on him at the time of his death after he was shot over 24 times by police, and he was on anti-anxiety medication combined with alcohol. Which is exactly what I had said happened knowing very little about the evidence at the time but understanding the condition of the murders. Yet we are supposed to believe that gun control would have averted the killings. And we are supposed to put our complete trust into a police force that put so many bullets into the dead body of the attacker that they actually shot some of the victims with their own bullets. The whole ordeal was actually and remains a mess. It was liberal philosophies that made the shooter who he was and it was state controlled law enforcement that obviously over reacted and put more people in danger due to their “training.”

Obituaries are now online for the Dayton shooter and his sister. Connor Betts is described as funny, articulate and intelligent. Megan Betts is described as loving, intelligent and bright. #10TV pic.twitter.com/Zni7DZLznq

— Brittany Bailey (@BrittBaileyTV) August 14, 2019

The killer Betts had 52 gunshot wounds in his upper and lower torso. Many of them were exit wounds but think about it. More than twenty shots fired in any crowded area would be a potential for more people around the target to be injured, and at least 2 bullets struck other people. It is humorous that when explaining this to the public Police Chief Richard Beihl had to describe those wounds as “superficial wounds.” It kind of reminds me of the Monty Python movie The Holy Grail. “Its only a flesh wound.” Of course that police training entailed shooting at the subject so that so long as he was near his rifle that they had to keep pummeling him with rounds of fire and that each of those bullets would bounce off the pavement and be a potential projectile flying into innocent people running away from the crime. They had to make sure that Betts was dead. Ah, but they were under pressure, the police. After all, wouldn’t everyone panic under such a crises and hindsight is 20/20. Well, no, not everyone panics under those conditions.

Sure, there were lots of cops that were around late that night in Dayton patrolling the entertainment district and they engaged the shooter in 30 seconds. But with so many cops also comes the understanding that they all knew this guy was a mass killer who had just attacked people on their watch, and they wanted to make sure some of their bullets got into the body of him so they could claim credit for bringing an end to the carnage, by creating more carnage. 52 bullet holes, that is just out of control, and more about getting their name in the record books than actually stopping the crime. With so many police officers firing into the cocaine liberal Betts, nobody could have taken the next logical step and moved in to remove the weapon from the attacker while he was down, minimizing the risk to the area. I have argued and will continue to, that most CCW holders would have done a much better job and not let their adrenaline get the better of them, as the police obviously suffered from. A typical NRA member with a CCW would have been much calmer and created less carnage in stopping the bad guy.

But that’s not the story of the day, its all about how to detect mental health, and the gun control advocates desire to do background checks and have red flag laws. Would a red flag law prevented this liberal Elizabeth Warren supporter from smoking crack and mixing anti-depressant medicine with alcohol and who knows whatever else, then making a terrorist out of himself? I would argue that just calling oneself a Democrat is a kind of declaration of insanity. Should all Democrats be flagged as potential terrorists? I think historically speaking, we could make that case. Is that where all this is going? Because any time a mind is altered with intoxicants, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, anti-depressants even, they are all potential minds for becoming killers. Most of them won’t of course. But where do you draw the line?

Yet again a mass shooter (in Dayton) turns out to be a marijuana user. Nobody cares. But more marijuana means more crazy people, and more such horrors. Grasp this nasty fact before the legalisers win and it's too late .

— Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah) August 11, 2019

Just like the cops that shot their guns over 24 times into a body within the confines of a crowded street, politicians show they have even less good judgment on the matter. Most of them want illegal drugs legalized so they can get the tax money for their giveaway projects, and they don’t want to consider what those intoxicants do to our society. Maybe everyone who drinks a beer or smokes marijuana should be “red flagged.” I could live without drinking or doing any drugs. I would much rather have a society of gun owners carrying them around in public than a bunch of drunken heathens intoxicated in their spare time and thinking about dumb things. The lessen here is that no politician, especially on the Republican side where they should be leading the way, is addressing the core problem—drugs cause mental depletion, so no mental health scan under normal conditions will root out a potential killer. And we certainly have seen from the FBI to the local law enforcement that they are only human, and they panic too under duress and they may shoot you just for being nearby. So is the proposal of more government patrolling the streets viable, no. Is more government doing background checks and administering red flag laws viable, no. Would an assault weapons ban work, so that government could be the only ones with high powered weapons there to serve politicians who have a lot to hide in the world. Absolutely not!

So what are we to do? Well, first of all, lets admit to ourselves that drugs are a problem and our government should not be endorsing the practice of intoxication—of any kind. People will still want to drink their beer and whatever, but we must stop promoting that activity as normal. And we certainly must understand that endorsing cocaine, depression medicine and marijuana will lead to a less safe society. We cannot give up the Bill of Rights so that people can just sit around and get wasted. I understand that the political class likes intoxicated people who can’t think, because it makes it easier to garner their vote. But the consequences are obvious, and this Betts killer was an obvious example of when such a situation goes wrong. I think a legitimate look into every mass killer would tell a similar story as Betts. He was obviously a clear-cut case, he was a liberal likely caught up in the modern antics of political theater, and being a drug user, had lost his ability to rationalize outcomes. So, he became a mass killer with the obvious hope that it would inspire gun control, which is why he used the high capacity magazine. He was after all supportive of gun control, and his natural aim of throwing his life away, and those of many others, was to force the issue. But all those thoughts are derived from insanity provoked by drug abuse. Given our current culture which accepts that condition, there is always the potential for countless killers to emerge. And until we deal with the drug use, no law created by anybody will stop them. Obviously, we can’t count on law enforcement to save us. Apparently to them, collateral damage is a perfectly acceptable criteria so long as they stop the mass shooters when they do appear.

The Cause of the Mass Shootings in El Paso, Texas, California, and Dayton, Ohio

It is pot and our culture of marijuana use that we need to be looking at in relation to the two shootings that have occurred within hours of each other, one in El Paso at a Walmart that killed 20 people and wounded 26. The other in downtown Dayton that killed at least ten and injured 16. In the Texas case the shooter was captured, he was a 21-year-old kid filled with spewing hate and apparently left a manifesto behind very conveniently tying the case together for authorities. In Dayton, the shooter was shot and killed by police eliminating the threat. There are still a lot of unknowns about the cases that will come out in the coming days and weeks, but in essence what we do know is that young people are largely involved in perpetrating these shootings and that as I’ve said before, the likely culprits are the sudden use of marijuana now openly consumed, that is causing this spike in violence among our youth. Gun control of any kind will not stop the carnage, and neither will avoiding the radical shoving of people into typically conservative areas by immigrants from communist and socialist countries just so Democrats can get their voting numbers up.

Under no circumstances should anybody cowardly shoot other people in such a violent way, there are no reasons for it whatsoever. None. Yet in places like El Paso where illegal immigration is literally invading their city and trying to turn their red state purple, people are very angry about the push by Democrats to overflow the border with liberal voters who are trying to change their country. It has nothing to do with skin color, but in the values of the people. The illegal immigrants just want a chance in life and where they came from typically are very oppressive socialist governments. So any freedoms they can get in the United States are many times greater than where they came from so they have nothing to lose. But for Americans, they see an invasion which is actually what it is. The immigration is being driven by failed government policies that are actually supported by Democrats to inspire them to flood the border. The evils that drive that push are promoted, not stopped, so that immigration will actually happen. So let’s get all that into context right out of the gate.

Then to make matters worse, and to actually drive up the body counts when these terrible shootings occure, we still have gun free zones such as inside shopping complexes and in bar districts like the situation in Dayton where we have taught people to duck and run waiting for authorities to arrive minutes later when seconds are needed to eliminate the threat. If we had a policy of stand and fight, guns would be friendly to a positive resolution as opposed to aggressor. In both recent shooting situations, a good guy with a gun present could have killed the aggressors quickly and with much less carnage. Our political system will say that we can’t have shootouts in our public places, yet the case remains that police can’t get to these shootings fast enough to lower the body counts. The solution is more gun coverage and much more use of the CCW in public places than we have now, not less.

But it is the cause of these shootings that we should all be concerned about because what we have is a massive failure of Democrat policy that is removing hope from young people and causing them to turn to violence to get their point across, and as a culture we have failed them. That was certainly the case with the 21-year-old kid Santino Legan who killed three at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. In spite of security at the event, Legan cut a slit in the security fence and stepped through to release carnage making reference to getting “high” left behind on his social media posts. In other shootings leading up to this event especially among young people they all had history of marijuana use, and we have to draw conclusions that Patrick Crusius who was also 21 years old and arrested near the shooting scene in El Paso also had some history with drugs and medication. The bars in Dayton certainly have with them an element of intoxication that is the root to most bad judgment. The cause of these evens is not the gun culture that is America, it is why there is a gun culture to begin with, as the desire for violence is ever present in the hearts of people.

Video games and movies are certainly contributing factors. I would say that it opens the mind up to such a violent situation even though most people don’t resort to violence to solve their problems. All it takes is a small percentage that will. Add to that the effects that depression drugs and actual psychedelic effects that something like marijuana can inspire in some people and we have a ripe condition for these mass shootings. Poor parental structures for young people to grow up in, liberalized educations, a bar toward adulthood that keeps getting pushed longer down the road to where age 21 isn’t considered old anymore. We keep these kids in a state of dependence for far too long and by the time they arrive into their 20s they have been treated as children too long. These are all very serious contributing circumstances that can’t be ignored considering that most of these mass shooters are all young people.

I have so little trust in our government that gun control isn’t on the table at all for me. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that there were agents of our own government sympathetic to the Democrat cause who worked chat rooms and other Facebook methods to push some of these disturbed kids toward violence to set the stage for upcoming elections and to try to throw a wet blanket on President Trump’s success at pulling the nation together toward America first goals. Yes, I think the agents of George Soros are that dirty and would do much like Charlie Manson did with his Helter Skelter murders. It wasn’t him who did the killings, he inspired others to do them instead. Obviously, these kids doing these mass shootings didn’t wake up one day and decide to throw their lives away with mass carnage. There were events that led up to such a radical decision and we simply can’t trust authorities to tell us what kind of internet activity led to the violence or if such evidence would ever make its way into court. The same bad Democrat radicalism that is pushing people from other countries to flood the American border for refuge is the same likely that is pushing these kids to act on their impulse to commit these violent acts. So let’s not get hung up on the poor people innocently shot. As tragic as that may be, there is a lot more violence and evil going on all over the world that is behind the push for the border, many rapes and economic conditions that are literally killing many thousands of people who will never have their names released on ABC News.

If people don’t want to see Wild West shootouts in front of bars in Dayton, or at festivals in California, or even shopping at Walmart in El Paso, Texas, then they should stop tampering with people’s lives to inspire political movement in their favor. They should outlaw intoxicants and promote strong family values and guidance. They should also make kids more responsible earlier, like at age 18 instead of forcing kids to be kids until they are 21 so they don’t get used to having adult bodies with the minds of children playing violent video games at all hours of the day with no consequences to their thoughts and actions. As I said before, with the condition of the youth what it is today, I would expect many more of these mass shootings. They are a failure of our society at the level of its foundation and the guilt for that falls squarely on Democrat policies that have created them. And until that is understood the only method for solving this problem is to have more people with more guns on the streets to protect innocent people when these things do happen. Because the number won’t go down. We are just getting started with this new generation and they are very disturbed and dangerous as a demographic group and its time we start dealing with that fact instead of avoiding it with cries for more gun control. Gun control only puts more power into the idiots who have caused this problem in the first place, and that would be a terrible injustice.
