You are 100% right! I go through the exact same thing with my mates (bakers)

This whole essay is utter bullshit. You were right to be embarrassed for him.
My consumption of any product stays the same no matter how much I have. I just happen to be more responsible with conserving my stash. You could take this further and replace “Sack” with “money.” Some people have the ability to hold onto money while other blow it in a day. It’s all too subjective.

PL: Absurdism (n.)

1. A philosophy, often translated into art forms, holding that humans exist in a meaningless, irrational universe and that any search for order by them will bring them into direct conflict with this universe: “True absurdism is not less but more real than reality” (John Simon).
2. An act or instance of the ridiculous: “This strained conceit never quite locates screen equivalents for the stage absurdisms” (Village Voice).

Parody (n.)

1. A literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule. See synonyms at caricature.
2. The genre of literature comprising such works.

When F(x)= the initial G(x), the slope of the two should be the same, because in essence, Baker A now has a half ounce so his graph would then resemble that of Baker B starting at a full bag, but he is still consuming at a higher rate. I don’t buy it. But an entertaining read none-the-less.
PL: Thanks. I’ll pass the empirical, or graphic, criticism on to Les, but as to the theory presented, the firsthand anecdotal evidence is considerable, if not downright overwhelming.

This theory completely explains my entire college career.
PL: I was more a mushroom freak myself.

I agree with the Law of Diminishing Sacks completely, however, I do not believe it would improve the war on drugs.
Mr. Faulheit states, “there’s only so much of the stuff,” advocating his theory that, if legalized, supply would quickly evaporate. That is simply not true. If legalized, MORE pot would be produced – more would be grown. The world is clearly not producing pot at maximum capacity. If legalized, supply would obviously go up as any bumpkin could predict, but so would the actual production.
Mr. Faulheit’s theory fails to address this factor.

Anyone who’s hung out with people that smoke a lot know that heavy smokers don’t buy large amounts to conserve it. They buy big to get higher than they would with a lesser sack. So I agree with the theory, but that said, it doesn’t relate to the supply-and-demand argument.
If weed is legalized, the supply won’t simply run out. Look at the Netherlands. Think they ever run out of weed? This stuff is not corn or wheat, as it can be grown indoors.

Hahaha… nice story!
A lot of people don’t appreciate this one I’m sure, but those with experience in the field can emphatically confirm this theory.

Hahaha. You were right to be embarrassed for him man. I think the guy who sent this email was smoking a little crack cocaina before he wrote it. It was even more funny to me because this email reminds me of the textbooks I’m forced to read in college. They are filled with a lot of very beautiful, subtle bullshit. I got half way through and had to stop myself from laughing (and reading) more; which is the same thing I have to do with school texts. Except unlike school texts I didn’t have to memorize any useless crap that I knew would be on some multiple choice exam. Peace bro.

This story was our exact last 2 weeks. It’s like you were following us around and voice recorded our conversations. Too bad we just ran out of our White Widow from Amsterdam. We’ve gotta call someone up for a party bowl.
