At the market again
Alfred and I went to the market early this morning, around 7:30 am. The air was brisk and very few people were walking around. Dave had not even gotten his arugula out when we first passed by his stand. But the pot dude was already there. I had to take a couple of glimpses to make sure that it was him because he was clean-shaven and his hair was short. Totally different from the long-bearded and disheveled hair man I had gotten used to seeing. His speech has also changed.
The pot dude usually talks to passer-bys to try to convince them that pot should be legalized because it does not cause addiction and because of other reasons that I have never cared to hear. But today he was defending using pot to make biofuel, specifically ethanol. So he went on about how carbon dioxide emissions would be kept under check if we all started using pot ethanol. I am not sure about the current technological feasibility of doing that, but I cannot help but wonder if a big chunk of the pot supply would not be diverted to other less fuel efficient uses…
