@DziadekMick Thanks! Yeast shit is a helluva drug. Hell, I don't even classify it as a drug. It's a poison. It pisses me off that I can near-fatally poison myself for pennies, but I have to pay black market prices for legal weed. If the weed industry ran on the kind of margins the spice industry does, weed would be $30/lb or less. Since it's generally grown domestically and Americans want more pay than people in impoverished countries, I'd say fifty bucks a pound is fair for everybody to do well out of it. Instead, it's sold at $6,400/lb (including the 20% state tax on it). Even happy Minnesota, bluest of blue states, wants you to die of cirrhosis rather than do anything that might actually help a trauma response. Oh well. Not like I have the power to change things. Thanks for the good wishes, though. And stay safe your own self.

    @Uair I've always maintained alcohol is worse than drugs. In my AA days, I fought against the idea that drug addiction was the same deal as alcoholism. My craving for alcohol cam when I'd had a drink. Drug addicts tend to relax when they take some. If they outlawed booze and legalised heroin, our health service would be £billions better off. Not just for the users but for the tens of thousands of victims of their violence. And government supplied H would be safe. I wish dope was legal here.
