Sensitivity and fellowship, yet my (former) friend who is a big stoner has gone all-in on conspiracy theories and is championing the Reform party in the UK because Labour are apparently race traitors. Guess weed can't do all the lifting.

If you are as smart and educated as Carl Sagan, I’m sure weed isn’t doing the heavy lifting.

Yeah for people like Sagan, the "serenity" he's referring to is probably more about quieting his mind.

Maybe weed isn’t relevant in that case, let’s not forget that in the US, weed was promoted by liberals and opposed by the MAGA crowd.

Can't win em all. Also, weed in the UK is rubbish /s
