It dawned to me before the prime minister uttered a word about how Cyrus Engerer convinced him about many, many things.

Not so, If you live with your wife or girlfriend and she does not use it then they are usually very quick to tell you you are a wasted mess.
My wife does not use pot, but she rather see me pain free and slightly stoned than in pain.

I think people have been prejudiced against cannabis by watching too many Cheech and Chong movies.

They were just another version of Reefer Madness type propaganda set in a more modern decade.

Don’t be surprised if he is

She promised she hasn’t inhaled, but House Majority Floor Leader Rida Cabanilla is looking to marijuana to solve some of Hawaii financial troubles.

Cabanilla said she hopes to legalize cultivation, manufacturing and exporting of marijuana and marijuana food products in Hawaii to pay off the state’s billions of dollars in unfunded liabilities as well as make infrastructure repairs and fund public education and human services programs.

“This state would turn into a manufacturing state. Can you imagine factories that would be making ‘Maui Wowie’ cookies and making marijuana macadamia nut candy for export? I think that would be wonderful,” said Cabanilla, who represents Ewa Villages, Ewa Beach, Ewa Gentry, Ocean Pointe and West Loch.

Hawaii has some $25 billion in debts, encompassing the state retirement system, the public employee union health fund and outstanding bonds. The state also needs billions in repairs for roads, schools and infrastructure.

“I am not even a fan of it. But if that is what it takes for our state to be in the forefront where we can fix our roads, we can build more affordable housing, we can help the homeless — that is the route we should go,” she said.’

Is it possible that after the passports project Joseph Muscat may be contemplating entering the marijuana market to support his spending sprees?

The Cookie Monster will be pleased to learn that one can even make marijuana cookies to dispense to reporters.

So, I also comfortably deduce that it was Cyrus Engerer who pushed the idea of the gay adoptions. Let’s not forget that it was not an electoral pledge. Looks like he is a champion in convincing. But he did not convince his former friend!

That is the problem with cannabis: you do not notice that you are a wasted mess.

Next, the removal of criminal charges for dangerous driving when ‘out of court’ settlement agreed to.

Then it will be the removal of criminal charges for tax evasion and VAT fraud.

Franco Debono is the equivalent of Nicolo’ Ghedini, whose defence of Berlusca found it necessary to have him ‘elected’ to senator.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re aiming for the removal of direct representation, introducing the nomination of politicians to parliament via party selection boards. Each party getting their share along proportional lines.

We’d have Silvio Scerri e bella compagnia in parliament answering to no one but the leader.

They’ll sell it as a measure to combat clientelism and corruption. Guess who blamed Carm Mifsud Bonnici for ignoring these reforms.
