In the news over the past few, several articles came out speculating Mexico to be the next to legalize marijuana. While you could theoretically get it there anyways, it wasn’t exactly legal for anybody without large quantities of cash on hand to pay off Mexican cops. So it is in this sense, they beat us at something other than fútbol.
This is my review of Hemptails Citrus Gold
How does this work in Mexico? A brief rundown of how the court functions can be found here. For those of you capable of reading Spanish above the college level (don’t look at me), here is the official webpage for Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación. If you want to dig up the court decision, I’m sure it’s in there somewhere. For everyone else, it takes five repeated decisions from the Mexican Supreme Court to set enough legal precedent to compel their legislative body to act. Do they need the court’s permission first? Of course not. It might be a fun thought experiment in this country if this is how that worked.
Hopefully just as a thought experiment; I am in no way advocating this. Can you imagine the idiotic things they could come up based on the way certain SCOTUS justices find things in the Constitution that aren’t exactly written in there?
Those decisions came in November of last year, so it was only a matter of time before they were going to get around to it.
“This 5th judgement means that, while the cannabis prohibition law nominally remains in place for now (and arrests remain possible), all judges nationally are now bound by the Supreme Court judgement as a defense in the (now much less likely) scenario of prosecutions being brought,” according to Transform, a think tank that was part of the effort to overturn the ban. “The legalisation of cannabis for adult personal use, possession, private cultivation and sharing is therefore currently de facto(in practical effect), rather than de jure (formalised in law/legislation).”
It appears they will finish the job by the end of the month.
Senator Julio Menchaca Salazar introduced a legalization bill last month that seeks to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework. Under Salazar’s bill, Mexico’s Department of Health would regulate the cultivation, processing, and transportation of cannabis.
In Mexico’s lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, leader Mario Delgado Carillo introduced a bill that would formally set up a legalized market whereby the government would have a state monopoly on cannabis sales. Carillo’s bill envisions a great deal of the revenue from marijuana sales going to social programs.
[…]
Both chambers of the Mexican legislature are controlled by the MORENA Party, which President López founded. MORENA is a left-of-center political party that was founded in 2014.
Monreal says members of the Chamber of Deputies, the other half of Mexico’s legislature, will be invited to provide feedback on the legalization bill.
Good for them. No seriously.
One of the arguments for legalization of cannabis in the United States is rooted in the practical experience we can take from the 18th Amendment, which prohibited alcohol between 1920 to 1933. I know that you are likely capable of reading in English at the 4th grade level, and coming to the basic conclusion from the article linked above, Americans still drank alcohol during that time. It was provided by bootleggers, distributed by rumrunners—basically people willing to be criminals to make a living. People willing to be criminals in one sense to make a living are probably willing to be criminals in another sense, which is basically the plot to Breaking Bad. The problem of course is nearly nobody alive today was around to see it, and schools appear to jump from the civil war, directly to the civil rights era in history class. Given the level of violent crime in Mexico, if nothing else we’ll probably get to see this in action again….or they just switch to growing poppies and continue shooting each other.
It probably will not mean much for those that go to Mexico from time to time. Turns out cannabis is still mostly illegal here and Border Patrol is still actively searching for drugs at border crossings. Unless of course you were already a mule…
They call this a “malt beverage” but I drank this explicitly for purposes of this review. There is little redeeming quality to this beverage and any reasonable person might be comfortable with it being made illegal. Thankfully, nobody around here might be considered reasonable. Hemptails Citrus Gold: 1.5/5

The fact that one CAN make alcohol from basically any biological material, does not imply that one SHOULD.
Also, Mexico is one place that can’t solve its drug crime problem by legalizing. Because Mexico’s drug crime problem comes from north of El Norte
Even if the US legalized across the board, I’m not sure that it would fix Mexico’s cartel violence and crime now. They’re too well established and too much money sloshing around to walk away.
See Prohibition. The Mmob didn’t go away – it just diversified
It was also considerably weakened. Had we done the same with narcotics and prostitution, the mob would have had very little power.
The Kennedys just went legit.
Go legit?
Woh! Pretty brutal, dude! So they’re pretty much just cashing in on hemp cachet?
Also…dare I say…first??
Dang!
That’s a DenverJ first.
Eh, Mexican is a tough grader…
But I would be inclined to think any hemp beer would taste bad. Mmm, tastes like rope?
O’Fallon has Hemp Hop Rye which was pretty good. But that’s because they went with a subdued hand on the hemp seeds. Sweet Water brewing also has the 420 strain series where they brew a beer specifically to recreate the flavor profile of a specific strain which is pretty good as well.
I’m not much of a weed guy. I’d enjoy ass sex with Mexicans, but you can have the devil’s plant for yourself.
No really, what’s the appeal? Even as a smoker, surely the unburnt plant tastes much different?
The 420 strains are designed to match the flavor profile of the burning plant. And in much of the craft beer world, there’s the challenge of using the strangest ingredient to make a beer (more subdued ingredients include acorn, cereal, leftover bread, popcorn, etc.).
Right on. Yo quiero mota legalizada.
Meanwhile, in the article I’m too lazy to go back and find/link, they say the the big gun battle between the cops and the cartel the other day was instigated by an arrest warrant from a federal(?) judge in the United States for some drug kingpin’s son.
Not just some kingpin, that El Chapo guy that was all over the news a while back.

Chronicle of woke business
Guns are terrible objects. They are quite literally designed to kill. But while watching Gun Shop, a short film in which 2,328 firearms, from Western revolvers to assault rifles to water pistols, fly by your eyes in just two minutes, I didn’t just experience abhorrence. The film captures the design of these weapons—their finely machined metals and eye-catching colors—so alluringly, I felt a real cognitive dissonance.
——-
As the gun debate rages on, there is literally a continent of evidence that proves taking guns off the streets makes cities safer to live in. But Gun Shop offers a taste of the powerful commercialization of guns, and perhaps a window into why so many people continue to covet these weapons so dearly. “They are iconic, and they are arguably the most important, evolved, and powerful object ever created, regardless of what we think of them,” says Smith. “And to composite thousands of these objects together was a peculiar experience, to say the least.”
Scary. Fascinating. Alluring. Evil. Totemism: it’s what’s for dinner.
That “continent” of evidence? Australia, of course. Because unassailable assertion, FTW!
“Arguably”.
That is an impressive ratio of derp for just two short paragraphs.
Ya think?
Meh, the good ones are, but a lot of the Euro calibers are really designed to wound or scare. Hard to kill someone with a .25.
“Hard to kill someone with a .25.”
Tell that to the Grim Sleeper’s victims:
Fun fact: The Grim Sleeper worked at the trash truck yard I transferred from last year. He still gets a disability pension, while on death row. Nobody I knew there was around back then. Astounding how many serial killers prowled this area back then.
is literally a continent of evidence that proves taking guns off the streets makes cities safer to live in
1. That’s not what literally means
2. A continent is not a meaningful unit of measure here
3. The “evidence” in question does not “prove” anything
4. There is also “evidence” in the other direction
5. To the extent anything is indicated by the “evidence” is that removing guns reduces the use of guns, not other weapons
It’s also the smallest continent, so…yeah.
LOL that’s how you grift.

See: Kansas City throughout Prohibition. Revenuers rarely came through, Carrie Nation was jailed and told not to come back, and raids on speakeasies really only happened if the place was serving teenagers. Missouri was the last to ratify the amendment and did it at federal gunpoint. Prohibition was openly flouted and wetter than the Mississippi. Its lasting legacy was getting us through the Depression without as much pain as the rest of the country. Our Sicilian Mafia kept the east coast and Chicago outfits out (John Lazia basically kicked Al Capone out and told him not to bring his brand of bootlegging here or he’d find out what a turf war really was).
That is not to say it wasn’t as evil as it was virtuous. After all, Prohibition created organized crime. Rather, it made sure it consolidated itself.
I thought the midwest Mafia was centered around the cattle trade and snow plowing.

I’m in Mexico once a year, usually in Baja somewhere. The East Cape is one of my favorite places as it has some of the best pelagic fishing in the world. It’s one of the only places I know where you can catch a marlin a half mile or so off the beach. During the winter you can take a 20 minute boat ride right from the sea wall in La Paz to swim with 30 foot whale sharks.
Sounds amazing.
Do you drive or fly there?
Usually fly to Cabo and then head an hour or so north. I’ve driven a couple times to areas closer to the border (San Quintin). One day I would love to drive down the whole way. I think it is about 28 hours from SF to La Paz. If I do that I would pick three or four spots in Mexico to camp out for a day or two and fish. If any of youse ever want to head down there hit me up as I’ve been about ten times now.
“The legalisation of cannabis for adult personal use, possession, private cultivation and sharing is therefore currently de facto(in practical effect), rather than de jure (formalised in law/legislation).”
In a common law system, legalization would be de jure, because courts are a source of law.
“Can you imagine the idiotic things they could come up based on the way certain SCOTUS justices find things in the Constitution that aren’t exactly written in there?”
Since SCOTUS makes law, a single decision compels state legislatures to act or has the same effect regardless. See, e.g., gay marriage. So the “five decisions” rule would actually slow things down.
Good point…
CA Rep. Katie Hill Allegedly Involved Female Staffer in 2-Yr ‘Throuple’ Relationship

That’s why it’s so entertaining! And the fact that some breweries will help (or even provide recipes/kits) homebrewers clone their commercial releases. As an example, Avery Brewing has homebrew recipes for all of their beers, and Bell’s has kits for versions of several of their beers. BrewDog has released homebrew recipes for almost all of the beers they’ve ever made (including their over the top beers). Russian River’s head brewer has famously helped people make home versions of his Pliney the Elder.

“That American dream as we know it, which was the envy of the world, is no longer the envy of the world,” Walker said on “Squawk Box.” “In fact, the United States has fallen behind other industrialized nations in terms of economic mobility. If you want the American dream today, you ought to move to Canada.”
Walker oversees the international philanthropic organization that was founded by Henry Ford’s son, Edsel, in 1936. The Ford Foundation, with a focus on social justice, has an endowment of $13 billion and distributes $600 million annually in grants.

The escalator is still moving in Canada, Walker contended.
“They’ve got a capitalist system, and they’re doing better than us on providing opportunity,” Walker said. “I want to challenge capitalism to do what it’s supposed to do, and that is to provide opportunity for as many people.”
For that to happen — and ultimately, for the American dream to be restored — Walker said new waves of public policy must be implemented.
“The relationship in a democratic capitalist system is always one of the relationship between public policy and the markets,” Walker said, contending “we do have to talk about tax policy … at the end of the day, opportunity isn’t enough if we have a system where there is a bias, where there is discrimination.”
Henry Ford would probably beat that guy to death with a shovel, if he saw what the Ford Foundation does.
Then why do people keep coming here?
Clearly they are on their way to Canada.
Free shit?
Big upset in the Big 10 west. Wisconsin loses to Illinois. Wisconsin was a 30 point favorite.
Wow, I saw that was a close game. That sucks. Would have liked them to have been 6 when the Buckeyes beat them next week. They have to beat them now.
Also Badgers will be playing with a chip on their shoulder.
Oops- forgot muh link
I’d never setup a foundation. Because I have no money. Also, they’d apparently do whatever.
1781 – American Revolutionary War: British forces led by Lord Cornwallis officially surrendered to Franco-American forces under George Washington and the comte de Rochambeau, ending the Siege of Yorktown (depiction shown).
Happy Day for America!
Missed the “On This Day” part.
“Franco-American”?
I mean, I know France dragged our ass out of the fire, but to put France first is a little weird.
France had naval vessels there which were key to keeping Cornwallis in place. The French also took heavier casualties than the Americans.
It comes off the tounge a bit better too, and you can’t say Anglo-French, cause that would just confuse things..
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It’s Wikipedia Town.
It was the spaghetti that won the war.
?
Loved those as a kid.
My mom ate that crap out of the can all the time. Just the smell makes me want to retch.
If you didnt do it, I was gonna.
I remember that commercial, too
In English, adjectives are to the left of the noun they modify. The Amero-French alliance would come about 2 centuries later.
Shut the fuck up Linguistard
You’re not down with delta p, I see.
oOH OOH, I’m down with Delta T, I use it daily,
/Not a Drug
Better delta T daily than Preparation H.
Preparation H
:runs off sobbing:
He’s using racist linguistic talk!!!
but seriously, what’s delta p?
A statistical measure of markedness. You’ll find it in some machine learning applications as well. Basically quantifying how “unusual” something is compared to its regular form.
Okay. Sounds a bit like entropy in information theory
and Delta T is a difference equation, regarding HVAC,
Yeah, definitely. Linguists who take a stochastic/statistical view of grammar and language acquisition would be favorable to such an interpretation. There has been some work with information theory and language acquisition in studying how babies learn to parse sounds into morphological units. It’s outside of my area of expertise, but cool.
I like it, I learn things here, better than Ted’S antics….
I like it too, i’m just razzing HM.
It’s about “markedness”. The adjective is the information that “stands out”. The Franco-American alliance was one of many alliances the Americans made during the Revolutionary War. The Amero-French alliance was one of many alliances the French made during WW 1. You probably just “feel” the difference.
SHUT THE FUCK UP, LINGUISTARD!
That’s how you do it, leon.
Well played!
Soy Protein or Tofu?
For what?
Vegan meal at restaurant. Lots of different sauces choice of tufu or soy protein
Depends on your textural preference. I would probably go soy protein.
Both will turn you gay.
Soy protein.
That’s what I went with and was fine. I had a spicy shezuan pepper sauce so probably didn’t matter that much,;)
No.
Washington over Oregon 28-14 at the beginning of the 3rd.
I do hate Oregon, but if they loose there will be no undefeated teams in the PAC-12.
I guess that just means the conference is so strong that no team can defeat them all.
My son made us calzones for dinner. If you don’t hear from me again….
Godspeed.
Tasty!
They were great.
Us to son: “These are great, [XY]!
XY response: “Alright.”
*SIGH*
I’m about to make the Brakelines for my Kite, a big hassle, but worth it, I need to be within 1 inch in 100 feet, and the driveway has a slight breeze, makes it harder….

I just finished watching Invasion of the Saucer Men. I’m pretty sure this was the movie that gave me nightmares as a 5-year-old. Hilarious to see how hokey it was. Thanks to whomever it was that figured out the title!
“I expected to be frightened on my wedding night, but not like this!”
LOL
Yes!
I can’t believe I’m going to do this but,
STEVE SMITH GREAT FRANTIC LOVER!
