The Redneck Roller Coaster

OK, this borders on the truly insane, and yeah, I kind of want one:

Real all about it here.  There are a bunch of other videos over at YouTube.

Today's Marijuana is like Cocaine

Rep. Mark Souder R-Ind. makes the assertion on the Tucker Carlson program that not only is today’s marijuana like cocaine, but that thousands of people have died from marijuana and that 65% of emergency drug abuse admissions at hospitals are due to marijuana.  Who knew?
