Happy

Yay, Obama!

Yay, marriage equality!

MJ legalization, where did you come from? Surprised by that... but "treat it like alcohol" has always seemed the most logical thing to me, and apparently Colorado & Washington feel the same.

Happy Thank-the-Heavens-the-Political-Ads-Are-Over Day, everyone!!!

I believe I might have actually had to shut the TV off and pick up a book if the ads had continued! :)

Yes, the MJ thing is bizarre as it is still against federal law, which trumps state law, or at least in this case I believe it does. It will certainly be interesting to see how this unfolds.

I figure the best we can hope for will be a challenge to the federal law, with a possible change to allow states to decide the status of marijuana on their own terms.

Personally, I've never used it and have no interest in it, but I feel it's ridiculous that we spend our money and manpower prosecuting nonviolent pot users. We have better things to do with those resources.

Yay, and yay, and yay! I was surprised to see the MJ legalization too but think it's great, as I fully agree it should be treated the same as alcohol. I expect Canadians are happy too, as pot is British Columbia's biggest export ;)

I don't know what Colorado called their proposal, but it should have been the Leave Willie Nelson Alone Bill.

:-D

Can't wait for next year's golf weekend at Semiahmoo - if I toke up before I tee off, I won't care that water is in play on almost every hole!
