Umm, Duhnut, I hate to bet a stickler for etiquette, but you're supposed to end posts like that with the phrase "fuck you, clown!"

Man, duhnut, that's the worst pick-up line I've ever heard!

I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FIGHT, DUHNUT!

Wow, that wasn't even close.

Bad pick-up lines and weak fighting skillz. Sorry, duhnut, that sucks. But I guess you could always try to develop a nice personality.

Anarchist Orthodox says:

Cannabis is of too great a benefit to anxious Israelis. It is senseless to attempt prohibition. It’s probably one of the only things keeping folks here from freaking out. With that I would like to propose a solution to Israel’s hash-for-Hezbollah problem:

Transfer to local sources and eliminate the [illegal] market.

Decriminalize possession of small quantities of marijuana and permit the growth of up to three plants for personal use in one’s home. Homegrown cannabis is often of a higher quality than anything available from shady sources, and smokers will thus be inclined to avoid hashish. They will no longer turn to Hezbollah for their hook-ups, the hash market will recede, and Hezbollah’s wells will begin to dry.

It may be an imperfect solution, but it makes a hell-of-a-lot more sense than the continued waste of human and financial resources on prohibition which has cost Israeli taxpayers who knows how many shekels, only to result in the police feeling “helpless.”

It sounds like a good policy to me in and of itself, and even though I kinda doubt that the "hash-for-Hezbollah problem" is really what fuels or funds Israel's conflicts with the Hezbollah, the Palestinians or others, I think AO deserves kudos for his proposal despite its haplessness. Of course if the Israeli government finds him they are likely to find something more constructive for him to do, like minesweeping or something.

Hezbollah actually does make a significant amount of money from hashish production in the Bekaa valley. That said, hashish production in Lebanon is sharply down from the glory years of the 1970s and '80s, and Hezbollah's influence (along with pressure from Syria and the central government) has a lot to do with that. It's hard to find quality Lebanese hashish in Amsterdam these days, much less in the U.S. Despite demand far outstripping supply, Israel remains one of the big markets for Lebanese hashish. Orthodox Anarchist's boycott will probably have limited effect on Hezbollah's bottom line but his political motivations and desire to buy local product are common enough. And the prohibition of cannabis in Israel has had the unsurprising effect of ensuring that only criminal organizations can make a profit. Forward's article was actually a lot more serious and respectful than the Guardian piece, where even mentioning people smoking pot is inherently ridiculous.
