Why Are So Many Still Against Hemp / Marijuana ?

[The Bubba Effect]

Brawner, who ran Little Spider Creations out of an old Denver warehouse for years until this month, told KUSA-TVThursday he moved because pot was hurting his company. He said employees started to come to work stoned after the state legalized the drug for recreational use in 2012.

“The main reason we pulled out was because of marijuana,” Brawner said. “Marijuana got into our industry. Half the sculptors will come in high. As soon as we’d catch it, they’d be let go. We went through 25 sculptors. Only five of (our sculptors) either were quality or would show up unimpaired.”





Speaking to FoxNews.com, Brawner just wanted his marijuana remarks to go puff.
He declined to say how his comments, which were audio-taped, could have been misconstrued.
“I don’t have anything more to say, not even to make things right,” he said.


Why not try reading the whole story instead of stopping when you get to a part that you seem to think you can make a semi-intelligent but mistaken remark about

He makes it quite clear that his comments were twisted to support an anti pot agenda. He says as much in the article. You are focusing on the issue that he is refuting. I read the whole story. I read it twice to try to figure out why you mentioned it. Have you read the whole article? Do you get that the business owner is stating that his previous statements about moving his business because of marijuana are not correct? If you do not get that from the article, read it again.

The article does not support your argument. The headline does, but the article does not.

I watched many guys flunk out of college over video games.

Some flunk out over alcohol and partying.

This indicates a lack of character and motivation, not a lack of laws.

I tend to agree with this. I screwed around my first time around in college too. My poor academic performance wasn't due to what I was doing. It was due to what I was not doing (ie. partying instead of studying). You could replace "partying" with any other activity that would have taken time away from studying.

Yes he does clam up, he will not say more "not even to make things right", not even to say how his comments were misconstrued. I get it, you picked a headline, linked it, maybe even skimmed it and posted it.

I think maybe you linked to the wrong article. Did you intend to instead link the previous article that this one is refuting? Or, maybe this is all some kind of "sarcasm as artform". Is that it, are you making an intentional farce of your position to point out it's lunacy? If so, well played.

Miss that part?

I see, you actually are confused. I was just poking fun earlier. The quote above is from the earlier article that the article you linked refuted. The article you linked is actually about the business owner disavowing the article you reference above. That article would be better fuel for your fire, except the business owner's later refutation of it's message.

You do understand now that there are two articles, right? The first article says that the business owner is moving from Co because of stoned employees and the second article (which you linked) is about the business owner stating that his words were twisted around to fit an anti-marijuana narrative and he refuses to further explain.

he refuses to further explain.

after being confronted with the recorded remarks that he tried to walk back.

he could pull the old political dodge of "being taken out of context"
or the old stand by "that's just not who I am"

I don't think so, hemp was outlawed in 1938, KY hemp production peaked in the 1850's and declined drastically during and after the Civil War.

I know for fact hemp was being grown in Kentucky during WW2. Had family raising it for the war effort.

Ah, the good old "it never existed" film. Most of the hemp grown in the US was from Kentucky, at least until 1938, and then 3 years later it was needed again so it was cool again. Old hemp barns are still seen around Lexington.

Why are people against it? I don't know, maybe intellectual dishonesty from the "pro" advocates.

...but honestly, anyone who has been paying attention knew it was never about legitimate medical treatment to begin with.

Our rights should not be based on statistics. Agree or disagree?

AGREED.!!!

No disagreement. So let's just dispose of the "medical marijuana" nonsense and admit it was always about incrementalism. Let the debate be about why its illegal and whether it shouldn't be without parading sickly people in front of cameras whining about their gonga being the only thing that brings relief.

Do you believe ANYONE gets medical relief from marijuana?

If so, why should they shut up?

Whining, really?
