Normally I'm not his biggest fan, but this one struck my fancy for obvious reasons.
Interesting video, but probably not going to tell avid users anything they don't already understand.

If you're one of those people that closes your eyes, covers your ears and says 'nanananana' whenever this topic comes up because you want to think whatever is convenient for you to believe. Then please, go kick rocks.

I don't have the patience or the desire to get into debating whether or not marijuana should be legalized, now that I've seen just how little harm it has caused living in two states where it has been legalized.

Because the illegalization of marijuana was stupid, it's continued illegalization is still stupid and people who are against its legalization are guess what, stupid, especially Jeff Sessions. Who is an ancient, spiteful, ignorant husk of a man clinging onto his dated beliefs while the rest of us desperately hope he can return to the coarse, dry sand he spawned from.

Don't worry though guys, legalization is an inevitability once our corrupt government realizes they can make a shit ton of money.

Is it though? It's not some sort of classified secret that Marijuana is extremely popular, so I'm pretty sure everyone, government included, already realizes the $$$ making potential in that industry. Private prisons have been making boo koo bucks off of all the warm bodies they get on illegal possession charges for years though, so I doubt they'd just take sudden nationwide legalization laying down. It's the same reason clean fuel isn't very wide-spread despite being objectively better than the alternative. Oil companies have too much invested in fossil fuels for any clean alternative to be able to compete and make any real money.

Well you've got me there, but I'd like to point out you're focusing on the last sarcastic quip and basically agreeing with me in every other way.

I do agree with you, I just had 0 idea that the last comment was sarcasm. Sarcasm via text has always been hit or miss for me.

To be fair I didn't make the sarcasm as clear as I usually do.
I shoulda said:

Why don't those retarted fuck nuts in our government legalize so they can make a shit ton of money already!?

Instead of being sarcastic.

I just hope when the eventual legalization of pot rolls around that every single part of a city or suburban neighborhood doesn't smell like a college dormitory or else I'm going to kill myself.

Pot is fun and all but it smells like shit.

Smells good to me. I like walking past an apartment and smelling something super dank, I can almost tell the quality of weed by my nose alone.

Sounds like you should start being used instead of dogs in the task force.

Well, judging from their last post, the bots are getting smarter.

If you're referring to the one that made threads only to start advertising by bumping them 5 years later, then no they aren't.

Finally watched rogue one and gotta admit it was much better than I expected.
Donnie yen is my boy, the romance wasn't ham-fisted and that scene that has darth vader wading into those treacherous rebels made me want to flee for MY safety in real life. All three of those things I was worried about.

Gotta love the attention to detail with the rebels, each rebel looks like they hand picked their own outfit from wardrobe. All the x-wings and droids are also customized in really neato ways. You get a distinct feeling that the rebel alliance really did pay a massive price to pull this all off and that they are the underdogs that have to resort to almost underhanded tactics. I found myself saying "rebel scum" as a starwars battlefront player all too often, it was a familiar sight. Speaking of sight, the cinematography is stellar which is almost a given for a starwars film, even though it sorta falls victim to the one biome per planet syndrome.

It's not flawless, there's lots of exposition and the plot climax is obvious. This is probably because the audience actually does understand because of everyone having seen star wars. But still, it's the principle of the matter.

Main thing I would've done to improve the movie, is remove everyone but Donnie Yen on the rebel side and call it "Donnie Yen vs the Empire." But I'm just being a hyperbolic fanboy. It was great, I liked it a lot.

More or less agree with this.

I remember a sarcastic twitter post making fun of a review that was headlined "Rogue One is the first Star Wars that actually feels like a war," saying that every Star Wars literally has the word war in it. But I can't help but feel like there's some truth to that headline.
