      Even then, nothing really happens when you smoke weed all day long. Caffeine on the other hand…

    Economy’s gotten so bad that the soldiers are forced to bring their own drugs these days instead of being handed them in ration packs.

    Out of the 175 sailors who tested positive in the random testing, 52 of them were serving on as submarine at the time.

    Not quite what the headline states

    Relax! It’s recreational pharmaceuticles on a nuclear powered, nuclear armed strategic submarine. What’s the worst that can happen?
