Thoughts on cannabis
from Bald, Blind, and Buddies Hosted by Timothy Cordes
We begin with a listener email and discuss bad movies we enjoy and movies with large cultural footprints. A listener answers John’s last trivia question and John offers another. We dive into “victimless crimes,” revisiting gambling from last week. We wonder if winning and exploitation are synonymous. Tim builds a case for concern over cannabis and the mixed incentives for governments who profit from its sales. John reviews the cost of a currently failing system and the benefits of regulation and taxation. John’s whack-job has started doing what he believes far too late and just looks inconsistent. Tim’s heroes are brew pub employees who wouldn’t let someone go in the drink.
