How Freaking Stupid Are We?

Kalifornia voters are going to vote tomorrow on a couple of stupid propositions.  Here there are:

PROP 56 – CIGARETTE TAX TO FUND HEALTHCARE, TOBACCO USE PREVENTION, RESEARCH, AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AND STATUTE.

This is a $2.00 per pack tax on tobacco and nicotine bearing e-ciggies to help pay for “low income” healthcare.  The argument is that currently there exist a $3.5 BILLION healthcare crisis due to smoking.  Notice the initiative includes TOBACCO USE PREVENTION.  And how much more research do we need to do before we figure out if smoking is BAD for you?

The other stupid proposition is:

PROP 64 – MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION. INITIATIVE STATUTE.

Prop. 64 creates a SAFE, legal system for adult USE OF MARIJUANA“.  This is the exact wording from the pro argument on the Official Kalifornia State Voter Guide.

So I guess smoking weed is safe and smoking tobacco is a multi billion dollar health hazard.  How about we take the $2.00 per pack tax money and encourage smokers to switch to SAFE weed?  That will eliminate  billion$ in healthcare according to the arguments.

Or how about this plan?  Let’s use the tobacco money to give FREE weed to smokers to solve the tobacco health crisis.  How much free weed can we give away with $3.5 Billion?

“Smokers, time to switch from tobacco to dope.  It’s FREE!  It’s part of your Obamacare healthy living plan.  Not only will you be healthier, but you can F’up your brain at the same time at no cost to you”.

Oh wow man.  Someone pass me the bong, so I can understand this.

Can you hear my head banging on my desk?
