Typically, weed and pizza go together in a very linear fashion: you smoke weed and then you order a pizza, invite the pizza guy in to smoke a bowl, eat the pizza, and then eat more pizza for breakfast. The pizza guy should have left the night before 🤣 cannigma.com/recipes/weed...

Weed Pizza: Is There a More Delicious Way to Get High?

Typically, weed and pizza go together in a very linear fashion: You get high and order a pizza. But what if it didn't have to be that way?

🧵 I decided to take a look at how the chemical weapon denialists were responding to the latest news out of Syria about chemical weapons, and this reply from Aaron Mate says a lot about the credibility of the denialists positions.

Aaron Mate X post - "This article is misleading. Not surprising coming from an outlet that has pretended that the OPCW's Douma cover-up scandal and the dissenting inspectors who challenged it don't exist. 

Speaking of which, this discovery -- more than one year after Assad's ouster -- happens to come right after it emerged that dissenting inspector Dr. Brendan Whelan won his case against the OPCW. In the process, the OPCW admitted to suppressing a key finding that undermined its allegation that Syria used chemical weapons in Douma. Perhaps the timing is coincidental. 

In any event, Reuters says here that "hexamine, a stabilization agent known to have been used by Assad's forces in ​sarin production" was found. 

The OPCW doesn't even say that. But even if they did, the discovery doesn't necessarily mean it was for sarin production. Hexamine would be expected in a war zone: it's the basic ingredient for the explosive RDX. 

No matter how many "discoveries" follow, nothing will change the fundamental fact that the OPCW has refused to address the extensively documented suppression of the Douma investigation."

In the end, making Putin threaten, moan and beg to hold his pissy little 45 minute parade, from which he ran away like a frightened schoolboy, revealed more about the real state of the war than anyone could have expected.
