The only way that will kill you is if think "toke" means inject.

Man if that's an eighth, it's an eighth of a gram maybe.

My dad lectured me about how if someone on LSD took a drink out of a water glass and you touch it, you could end up on a "trip".

He said they had training films in the military that made such claims!

I knew he was full of it because I never got off on a trip unless I actually took the LSD, so...

He was such a drama queen.

Marijuana is moving toward legalization and they’re hoping this might be a nice little wedge issue. The translation “the pot” is the giveaway. Is there anyone in this country who said “the pot”. Note to translator no need for the definite article when referring to pot or “the” weed.

The Russian language has no articles, so I doubt they'd add one when writing in English. And there are far more potent wedge issues they could seek to exploit. Russia has certainly pulled some shenanigans, but let's not immediately default to "Russia did it" all the time.

The content of the tweet is clearly tongue-in-cheek. Also, look closely at the image. That sure does look an awful lot like Osama bin Laden at the lower left of the cross. This is satire.

I knew that Russia didn’t have articles so I saw this as an over translation.

Our Christofacist citizens have been moving in this direction since before the USSR fell.

You don’t have to look overseas for people who hate democracy. I’m southern. Many of my white ancestors were willing to kill black folks to prevent them from voting.

For one, the content of the tweet is so laughable that it's clearly tongue-in-cheek. For another, that's a picture of Osama bin Laden to the lower left of the cross.

I'm sorry, "Christians Against Pot," but you're going to have to come up with something way, way better than that before I can take you seriously.
