Better than Viagra

Change the Climate recently won it's case against the Istook Ammendment forbidding pro pot ads on publically funded transportation.

Here is the anecdote that got the whole thing started:

“That ad actually came from a conversation I had with one of the executives who fund our campaigns,” White recounts. “He told me marijuana works much better than Viagra, that people should really try it.”

Ernest Istook, a Republican congressman from Oklahoma, declined this suggestion, instead labeling the ad “shocking” and pushing legislation that stripped $92,500 in federal appropriations from the Metro "as a warning to other transit agencies."

Better than Viagra.

Sex and Pot win. Istook loses.

And how about the sociology of Viagra? There is a book with a cute title, The Rise of Viagra that goes into details. The subtitle is How the Little Blue Pill Changed Sex in America. I wonder when we will see a comparable book on marijuana?
