STRANGE WORLD

“Videri quam esse” (“To seem to be, rather than to be”)

I'm strange but i like to be a good strange, My name is Clarence, born in 1988, Pisces and I'm a student of Sociology and the child of the internet. I usually feel like my life has no meaning and i want to die but sometimes it seems like life is worth living for and i love everything in it. If it seems odd to read think what it might be like living it. I like reading philosophy, fiction and tech news.

This Blog is were i collect all the the weird and interesting links from around the net, its not meant to be that serious and just fun. If you stop by here you can enjoy comics, tech, current events, sociology, a little pornography (or erotica if you prefer) and more weird stuff. Please feel free to tell he what you like and dislike about the site and more of what you want to see.

Please feel free to talk to me by letter in my ask or by following me on other social networks but please just throw me a message WHO YOU ARE.

By the By it goes without saying you should make sure children don't read most of this.

manicchill: Colorado’s Marijuana Legalization Movement Catches Attention of Times The New York Times’ Kris Johnson takes a look at the marijuana legalization proposal, backed heavily by the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, that seems likely to appear on Colorado voters’ ballots this November.  Given alcohol’s long and checkered history — the tens of thousands of deaths each year, the social ravages of alcoholism — backers of the pro-marijuana measure concede there is a risk of looking as if they have cozied up too much, or are comparable, to old demon rum. “Why add another vice, right?” said Mason Tvert, a co-director of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, which has led the ballot drive. “But we’re not adding a vice; we’re providing an alternative.” The goal of legalization, Mr. Tvert added, is not to make access to marijuana easier, but rather, “to make our communities safer by regulating this substance, taking it out of the underground market, controlling it and better keeping it away from young people.” The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol has already submitted 163,598 in support of Colorado Ballot Initiative 30, approximately double the required signatures needed for the proposal to appear on voters’ ballots. Those signatures now being verified by the Colorado Secretary of State’s office, a process which the department is legally obligated to complete by February 3rd. This ensures that the Campaign would have adequate time to collect additional signatures, should the Secretary’s office rule enough signatures invalid. For more information on Colorado’s existing marijuana legislation, Ballot Iniative 30, or the state’s burgeoning medical marijuana community I suggest reading the entirety of Kirk Johnson’s article in The New York Times.

Colorado’s Marijuana Legalization Movement Catches Attention of Times

The New York Times’ Kris Johnson takes a look at the marijuana legalization proposal, backed heavily by the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, that seems likely to appear on Colorado voters’ ballots this November.
