"Take the edge off naturally"

[Old and In the Way]

So says the TV advertisement for some manmade pill of unknown compound. Aren't there more natural ways to take the edge off? Oh, that's right....taking the edge off that way is "illegal". ;-)

1. Beer works

and it's pretty natural. Sex works pretty good, too. In fact, I don't know of any unnatural way to take the edge off.

2. And more importantly

Nobody makes money the other way

4. God Dam

and here I thought I was cynical..we were typing the same thing at the same time...GMTA, no?

6. I have no idea what GMTA stands for

and it's driving me crazy.

8. Great minds think alike.

Who am I to argue?

5. Double Post

damn dialup....

3. Of Course...

It is illegal because it is effective, and it occurs in nature, meaning that A) One can grow it for themselves, and B) The pharmacuetical companies can't patent it, thus can't make big money off it.

Am I just a touch cynical?

7. Too much money to make for too few people... to make it legal.

Think of it as a "illegal substance" franchise. A rational drug policy should be part of the next Democratic agenda.
