It did not have to be this way. At the same time that the Shafer Commission issued its report, the Bain Commission in Holland issued a report that made similar findings and recommendations. In Holland, they followed the advice of their experts. Thirty years later Holland has half the per-capita marijuana use as the U.S., far fewer drug-related problems and spends much less on drug enforcement. With statistics like that, it's no wonder that most of Europe is going Dutch. Just last week a British Commission issued a Shafer-like report, indicating that the U.K. is moving in the Dutch direction.
It is not too late for the U.S. to move to a more sensible path. We are approaching three quarters of a million marijuana arrests annually. Every year that the U.S. fails to adopt a policy based on research, science and facts we destroy millions of lives and tear apart millions of families.
w00!

I now own 3 working NES systems. If anyone in the detroit area wants one for like $10 bucks, I'll sell them one at cost. I only need one.
It's missing adapters, video cables, and controllers, but the decks have A/V jacks (no dongles needed) and the power needed can be supplied by an adapter at radio shack.
Controllers are easy to find.
So I learned that Mountain Dew mixed with Green Apple Puckers kicks ass.
I also learned why you don't drink without drinking other things at the same time (preferably water).
Ugh. I feel like I was hit by a truck, and then it backed over my head a few times for good measure.
woo. Now I'm two hops in my own apartment..

And yea, they're all seperate machines. No sleight of hand tricks here. The !A is the router upstream of my webserver, it's firewalled quite well :->
!A means traffic Administratively Prohibited. 🙂
