Irish Doctor: Smoking Marijuana Leads To Beards
Fortunately, we have the brave and intrepid Dr. Ruairi Hanley, an Irish physician who abundantly proves that Reefer Madness isn’t an exclusively American phenomenon.
Seems the good doctor, being concerned for all of us, don’t you know, believes that “for the sake of young people’s mental health, drug use must remain stigmatized and should never be legalized in Ireland.”
It seems the good Dr. Hanley knows lots and lots about marijuana, even though he’s never smoked any of it — seems that making snap judgments and stereotypes works just as well for this Irish imbecile.
Dr. Hanley was good enough to share his vast wisdom on cannabis with us Friday in the Irish Medical Times; check dude out:
Regular readers of this column will be unsurprised to learn that I have never had any time for marijuana. Like anyone who attended an Irish university in the last 40 years, I was aware during my college years of the existence of a few long-term cannabis users. I freely admit I regarded these people as a bunch of brain-dead, attention-seeking idiots suffering from a chronic aversion to personal hygiene.
Another interesting feature of the male section of this half-witted species was their apparent inability to use a razor on a regular basis.
In fact, I cannot recall ever meeting a clean-shaven pothead. This is an approach to grooming they appear to share with trade union officials and borderline communist politicians. [Italics added.]
