Blood Feud: The Inertia vs. Marijuana!

The Distributor of Ideas catches Reefer Madness!

And didn’t you think that your favorite purveyors of a Venice-adjacent alternative lifestyle would be a little pro-marijuana? It’s natural! It comes from Mother Earth just like chia and Laird Hamilton! But apparently NO! They are NOT!

In an Instagram post sent me by our wonderful Rory Parker the Distributor of Ideas distributed this one:

Yep, it ain’t all rainbows when it comes to reefer. There’s that little thing called addiction. And whether it’s mental or physical, addiction is very much a reality in the legalization movement. Dr. Samuel Ball, the CEO of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, sat down with Tech Insider to discuss the realities of today’s manufactured marijuana and its dangerous potency. Aside from the addictive mental properties in the plant, there’s also the damage it does to the lungs when smoked, which scientists still don’t know much about. Something to think about.

But what? How? Does this mean that The Inertia is in the pocket of Big Pharma? For sure it does and who would have ever guessed that? Let’s now read from some of the Instagram comments.

bobby_dietz: When someone’s mom hacks into their account and decides to post something.

lee.mc.surf: Unfollowed inertia you bunch of asshats

tenthumb: The most dangerous thing about weed is the risk of some judge locking you in a fucking cage for smoking a plant. Fuck off with your nanny post!

nickpitzel: FUCK @theinertia thanks for giving me a reason to unfollow you mainstream zombies.

formulakerrr: What the hell? Is the DEA running this account?

pate.brasfield: This is dumb as shit you guys are complete idiots

samuel_hein: Why is this surf page telling me to stop smoking weed? Lol

michael_keeney: Barn fest.

Etc.

I couldn’t find a pro-Inertia anti-weed comment but I’m sure there was one. Right?

Get high…on life!

No rasta, you’ve already quit smoking, you just don’t realize it, or, maybe you didn’t quit smoking and think you have but part of you thinks that maybe you’re still smoking and that it might be a good idea to make a comment stating you should stop smoking . . . now, you’re thinking, “what was I looking for before I read this comment?” Answer: you were looking for your car keys and maybe your vaporizer, which is on the left side of your dresser.

This is some lame stuff! Addictive properties? Tobacco. Damage to lungs? Tobacco.
Something to think about? As if I don’t have enough to think about…I think I’ll skip anything from Inertia from now on,,,,Free the weed!

“Dangerous potency,” and “scientists.” Oh fuck me; people can get addicted to anything; pepper, McDonald’s, argument, war, etc. God damn, cigarettes and alcohol are far worse than a doobie . . . I can’t believe we still have these conversations. The reality is, these DEA anti-weed fanatics will lose their high and an income stream if weed is legalized. Ridiculous.

SWIM is addicted to wearing women’s tights and masturbating with a fist in his arse. SWIM might be addicted to marijuana. Should SWIM tell his mum and dad?

Conspiracy theory: The Inertia has been paid off by the Mexican Drug Cartels to spread anti-legalization propaganda. Legalized drugs in the US mean major profit loss for the cartels, federales, and Mexi government. You heard it here first.

They’re blowing future corporate partnerships once pot goes 100% legal. Money will get tossed at all sorts of weird initiatives when the longtime producers have to launder all the money buried in the backyard before being scot-free to conduct legit business. Big revenue in cleaning things up in transition to a regulated industry.

And although I doubt that much advertising will be necessary for the industry to thrive, there’ll probably be at least one “brand” war as the distribution chain seeks to consolidate majority market share. Think Corona vs. Pacifico.

I suggest Beachgrit forges timely partnerships throughout NorCal and the PacNW to ensure financial success.

Unfortunately, I know several who will be free to resume their business activities circa 2025 after a brief federally funded sabbatical. Time flies, though!

By that time I’m going to be 41 and I’ll need COCAINE to get a girl under 30 in bed. Weed works now but a bigger gut and a few less teeth. I suppose I should be getting flights to Thailand,Pakistan and Mex find the gnarliest genrational strains and start “turd F’s Landrace emporium”. By that time I’ll be able to stabilize all the punnet squares and won’t be selling hermie garbage like 90% of the current banks, ever seen a sour D throw a banana and ruin an entire room. I have thanks resdog, you fuckin ruined a delta 9 collection. Dick.

SWIM tried marijuana for the first time last night. SWIM felt good at first but then SWIM felt funny. SWIM took a bath to calm down. SWIM is having thoughts about his dog fucking his sister. Anyone know how I can help my friend?

It will be breeders who’ve ironically kept the “landrace” strains pure greedy growers have been crossing skunk and diesel in to everything,( there’s 4 different types of diesel two of the phenotypes are phenomenal the others are weight heavy cut strains) the one who has the pure Afghan and african strains will control said market no matter what.

Maybe it’s a troll. If so, it’s a good one. I wouldn’t think The Inertia was capable of such, but who knows?

They’re definitely not capable of anything other than self-humiliation and earnestness.
