Looking at a long-term sampling, alcohol abuse rate is on the rise for the District, according to the survey.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hell if I lived in Washington, I\u2019d spend my time boiled as well. Considering all the garbage they do down their, legislating while loaded is their only possible excuse. I wonder if we should have a law passed that requires a breathalyzer test of every elected or appointed official before they doe anything. If they fail the test it\u2019s an automatic 90 day suspension of their voting\/regulating privileges. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see what other substances the Powers that Be are imbibing in, shall we?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>D.C. was also among the 10 states where residents  most frequently reported smoking marijuana within the last month. Alaskan residents inhale the most, according to the survey, with 11.5  percent of residents saying the lit up with four weeks of the survey.<\/p>\n<p>Cocaine use in the District  was also high. The survey says that while D.C. residents age 17 and  under reported some of the lowest cocaine use in the country, District  adults were among the top coke users in the United States, with 3.78  percent of residents saying they had used over a one year period<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well now, I see that the War on Drugs has worked out real well in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Our Solon\u2019s are either smashed or stoned when they are ramming their latest load of garbage on the American people. I suspect that the Republicans are drunk and the Democrats are stoned. The Democrats snorting in some of Colombia\u2019s finer pharmaceuticals is the only explanation for their complete lack of common sense and delusional beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>So, there you have it.
