Furthermore, here’s why most Americans agree that pot should be legal. Here’s some music to listen to. Here are some new things to look at:

the last one really just makes this post perfect
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wouldn’t promote pizza today, during an obesity epidemic. Just like Cookie Monster would be frowned upon if created today. Food is the new pot.
