That's what my brother used to call his six footer. Because it was a killer.

Whatever happened to Johnny Appleseed? I heard he planted more MJ seeds than anyone else in history. More than my college friends that's for sure.

It's called "shot-gunning", not catapulting.

Hey maaan, if you blow into a bong, the weed shoots out. I bet we could use a power bong to launch weed over the fence. WOW dude, that's genius!
If weed was legal, these high quality engineers would have jobs.

"If weed was legal, these high quality engineers would have jobs"

If weed WERE legal (subjunctive: condition contrary to fact), these engineers would likely find an equally puzzling problem to solve with pure glee, Auto.
God bless them, too. See my comment about the alleged tragedy of doctoral degree job hunters finding little work. At least these engineers are solving problems of a practical nature. The ones out of work feel entitled.

Just wait till they start using the dreaded "drones" for delivery.

They probably already do actually, a hobbyist DJI flamewheel 550 or 800 could make autonomous gps guided drops all day long.

If I ran the world, it would be legal to distribute marijuana across an international border by cannon as long as it was caught on the other side.

Cannon seized? I guess the Mexicans need a Second Amendment, too.

God bless you too Diablo, maybe God actually will give you another chance - like we all seem to need. At least these engineers are applying their talents to something safer than nuclear physics, disease research, or blogging.
