COS News Bites: Even Weed pulled ahead of democrats in mid-term elections




Overall, Democratic candidates in the 63 races that flipped to the GOP spent $206 million dollars to lose.  Everyone knew that with 10% unemployment, bankers giving high fives to each other, divisiveness in congress, and an increasingly polarized and angry country, these democrats had no chance. Spending $206 million dollars to lose shows how wasteful these democrats are with spending.

In many places a "dime bag" of weed costs about $35; According to HighTimes.Com that is roughly 1/8 of an ounce. So I am assuming that an ounce pot costs about $280. They say most people put about a gram of that ganja in a joint. A gram is 1/28 of an ounce so a joint is worth about $10. Those democrats could have just looked at each other, said, "420", had a big party, and handed out 20 million joints.

They still would have lost but at least they wouldn't have cared.
