Today's Crappy Drug War Headline Is Brought to You by The Huffington Post
With all the great drug war stories the Huffington Post has published just in the last six months--original reporting from Colorado, great op-eds by the Marijuana Policy Project's Rob Kampia and the Drug Policy Alliance's Ethan Nadelmann, oh, and is home to Radley Balko--that the site's social media editor would know better than to conflate murder with getting high.

This is fucking Balko's fault.
-
Pot doesn't kill people, people kill people.
-
First it was the Titanic and now this. We must ban boats.
-
Boats on WATER! Dihydrogen Monoxide kills!
-
I prefer calling it hydrogen hydroxide, which sounds less fakey, and is in fact a fairly accurate representation of its ionic behavior.
-
Oh, yeah! Well, I call it "de-carbonated carbohydrate"!
-
Hydrolic acid has always been my personal favorite.
-
A suspected smuggling vessel ....
Emphasis added. How does a ship looks suspicious? Red portholes?
-
Ship's whistle whistles a casual tune.
-
Isn't the real lesson that *domestically grown pot* is a victimless crime?
Also, if you would like to see a reasonably entertaining pot movie with lots of naked young people, find The Beach Girls. Drug smugglers spot the Coasties and throw the demon weed overboard, it washes ashore and a massive pot party ensues.
-
If it's a drug-related plot line you want, all I can offer you is any of the film-noir, hard-boiled detective flicks. Lots of caffeine and nicotine...and broads!
-
And alcohol, but that goes without saying.
-
How about "Prohibition Kills, Pot Doesn't"
-
Fucking causation, how does it work?
-
Anybody have the stomach to head over there and check the comments and come back and report? I'm wondering if they're calling the huffpo out of this bullshit title.
-
Mirabile dictu, most of them have done just that, and The Huffington Enquirer has changed its tune.
-
They've changed the headline. They haven't acknowledged a change or posted a correction like actual journalists, just slunk off with their tails between their legs like beaten lapdogs. Fuck you, Arianna Huffington, you despicable, power-fellating cunt.
-
Sounds like a pretty bodacious plan to me dude.
-
I went to read this article but didn't make it past Brazil's Miss Bum Bum contest.
