My TBM wife was furious when she first found out I got some illegal stuff. She found out because she was shocked I was eating and not puking and asked how/why.

Two weeks later ... Dear, don't you think you should smoke some this morning?


Mormon Jesus is only banning it in the home of suicide, Utah.
In practice, a Nevada Mormon with cancer in West Wendover can, on the advice of a doctor, use medical marijuana and remain in good standing in the church.

When they say, "cautioning that the proposed Utah marijuana initiative would compromise the health and safety of Utah communities."

That's just a very political statement to make. What makes them think this? What evidence do they have that this particular initiative will compromise the health and safety of Utah communities?

It seems like others think the UMA, which the Church uses as it's reasoning, is nothing but being politically and financially motivated too. They all make empty statements as if they are telling us what's up, yet they all come off as those with ulterior motives to me.


They have to pretend they are involved in world activities and useful. It's pure PR. Remember, once that stone fills the mountain, they can then control the world's sex, as well as population, until that time there is sin, which gives them missionary clout, in their eyes.
