Marijuana and Twinkies

By Douglas V. Gibbs

A friend on facebook sent me the image to the left.  The spelling is off, but the message is clear: “Marajuana [sic] is legalized and Twinkies go bankrupt all in the same month. Well played America.”

If Cheetos get discontinued, the stoners are screwed.

Perhaps this is a moment we should consider as a turning point in the history of this nation.  We are ready to head down a path of moral depravity (a path we have been walking down for quite a while, actually) yet we are unable to maintain the existence of the accompanying munchies.

Interestingly enough, with Marijuana being legalized in Colorado, it gives a whole new meaning to “Rocky Mountain High.”  As for Washington, with all of the rain making it depressing as heck there, as it is, you would have thought they would have legalized something a little more exhilarating. 

“Wow, man, it’s raining. . . again.”

“Nah, man, it’s not raining again – it never stopped. Pass the Twinkies.”

“We’re out.”

“Bummer.”

Puff, puff, pass.
