Yeah, it's about time for another "tea party" and I'm not talking about some political organization either!!!

Good thing we aren't packing it in a pipe and smoking it or they'd make it illegal.

Teleking-I honestly think it is a real article. The date written was on monday 3/31. Stupid article and stupid idea, but seems like enough facts and research presented anyway. UNLESS i am just stupid and don't know it.
