Marijuana Now A Schedule 3 Drug

[Plutonic Panda]

Or play with the dog for a while, or talk a walk around the block.  Something.

I'm presently hanging out with my four dogs while my wife is watching a Christmas movie.  I'm throwing the ball down the hallway for two of the dogs.

Nice! What movie is it?

Elf...which I think my wife has watched half a dozen times this month. 

I had to one of the boys away since my last reply for trying to instigate a fight with my oldest dog. 

Bad Santa 2 has been on my rotation a few times as has Hateful Eight and Polar Express. I'm a little darker.

I've been to sneak in Silent Night Deadly Night 2 for the "garbage day" scene.

Hahahaha it's so worth it just for that scene. We call that the climax before the climax.

That's not the question. It's not a rebrand, the original name for the plant is cannabis. Marijuana was the invented name.

My point is about modern usage, not ancient etymology. Today "cannabis" is often used as a softer or more clinical term to avoid saying marijuana -- that's the rhetorical shift I'm referring to.

Fine, then we'll talk about marijuana, Mr. Language Police.

There are various old Supreme Court opinions that use the spelling "marihuana." Looks very weird to my eyes to see it spelled that way, but I suppose it was consistent with their spelling the name of a certain island territory as "Porto Rico."

'Cannabis Sativa' is the scientific 'Latin' name for the plant.

The family and I watched Miracle on 34th Street for the first time last night.

Dude, that movie is good!  I'd been missing out!

The English and Spanish languages were invented -- as were all the other ones.

No.

Both the English and Spanish languages evolved over time.  They were not invented.

Esperanto and Quenya were invented.

I'm surprised you don't know the difference.

It's now under the same schedule as Vicodin.  I once accidentally took a gram of Vicodin on an empty stomach and then drove a box truck.  My trainee had given me two pills for a headache that he thought were Tylenol, but they were actually 500mg Vicodin.  Oops.  At our next stop, I had to lie down in the back of the truck for a while, and then he had to do the driving after that.

It's pretty difficult to "accidentally" consume a product containing cannabinoids if stored properly.

What if someone brings a pan of pot brownies to work/the family potluck?

Maybe Beltway needs to log off the forum for a bit and smoke a J.

I don't take dope.

Why do you think they call it dope?

I watched the 1994 version with my wife's family up in Willits over the weekend.  The John Hammond/Santa jokes wrote themselves given Richard Attenborough was in it.

Why are you linking Woodrow Wilson videos?  Was he hip with the kids back in the day?

In a psychiatric ward --
- Attendant: "So who are you?"
- Patient: "I, sir, am Napoleon!"
- Doctor: "Who told you that?"
- Patient: "God told me!!"
- Voice from next room: "I did not!!!"

Ah, my wife would like to correct you.  The preferred nomenclature nowadays is "Behavioral Health facility."

Why did they feel the need to rename it?
Why not just call it marijuana or pot or grass?
The world wonders.

You seem to have a nasty habit of conflating yourself with the world. It is okay to say that you wonder and would like the rest of the world who already knows to explain it to you.

I have a sense of humor that is dry and subtle at times.

The occasional use of that phrase is tied to a historical event, and am waiting to see if someone "gets it" -- and it is not an Asperger literal interpretation of the phrase.

Why did the bear

So "psychiatric" sounds to some people like "sick" or "crazy" or "insane"?

It is a joke that I heard probably 50 years ago.

The message is "no matter how important you think you are, there is always someone else that thinks they are more important."

Maybe it belongs in MAD Magazine but I still got a chuckle out of it.

(Then again, I actually kind of like the smell of actual skunk.)

Stings the nostrils!

I have an interesting take on skunk smell.  When I first moved to CA, every morning I would smell skunk in the air.  But after a while I did not really notice it anymore.  I didn't ever notice the smell again until I had been away from CA for a long time.  When I came back, I was smelling it again.  So I guess you can tell if you are a non native CA person, if you notice transient skunk smell.  You would probably only notice the smell if there was a skunk that was run over and killed nearby.
