I’m sure I’ll get blasted for this.. OH well... The Libertarian in me thinks it’s your God given right to smoke any plant He put on this earth. Also, there are far too many people clogging up the prison and court system because of marijuana related charges. I don’t like the idea of “legalize and tax” but it’s still better than illegal IMO.

No, you’re RIGHT. The time for marijuana prohibition is coming to an end. If the feds won’t do it, then it’s up to the states & the People to see that it happens.

The CA GOP should be ashamed of themselves.

I could leave right now and be back in half an hour with an ounce of pot rolled and ready to toke.

Why we keep pretending that it is not already legal is beyond me. The stuff is everywhere. It is so common and passe.

When a guy gets drunk, he beats his wife. When a guy gets stoned, he bakes cookies with her.

I don’t get what the GOP is protecting here, except maybe the alcohol mega-corporations.

I don’t give a crap what anyone smokes as long as they are not being stupid about it and then they get arrested and that I would support.

Agree ... except that then CA becomes an even bigger source for the rest of the country where it is still illegal. Kind of hard to believe we didn’t learn our lesson from Prohibition.

If all drugs were legal in all states, then the money would go out of it, and if the money goes out of it, then the crime associated with it disappears — including the Mexican drug cartels and much of the border violence. The FDA needs to be reduced to an advisory agency and the DEA eliminated altogether.

Maybe CA goes first and then the rest of the country follows suit, but in the short term it would increase crime in CA because of the continued illegality elsewhere.
