There is no limit to the money that can be wasted on policing, prosecuting, investigating, etc, anything that has to do with marijuana.

It is amazing that even incredibly educated intelligent people still freak out over something like marijuana all the while turning a blind eye to alcohol consumption and pharmaceutical abuse. Statistics would probably suggest that there are people working for/at NASA that abuse alcohol and prescription medications and escape any scrutiny.


Not sure how it's Elon Musk's fault. Seems like the Nasa administrator, Jim Bridenstine's issue with marijuana.

Interestingly enough, after seeing the evidence, Jim reversed his beliefs on climate change and it being caused by humans (he didn't believe in it before). Hopefully, he can reverse his position on marijuana too.


The media has published a disproportionate amount of hate content on Elon Musk ever since it was revealed Musk was a donor to the republican party in 2016.



Yes, this is how the government works...
