Why are Californians so afraid of Marijuana?
Sunday, October 24, 2010


Looking a gift horse in the mouth.

I was more befuddled than a Libertarian finding federal war bonds in a chest up in his grandpa’s attic. What’s wrong with the voter’s in California? Proposition 19 is down in the polls? 39% of voters are behind it? 50% are opposed to it? The only thing I could surmise is the pollsters are lying or the media is lying. Maybe it’s election fraud? Maybe the voters are just plain dumb? This proposition can pull California out of the economic funk it’s in! It could provide jobs, business opportunities, medicine, money for schools, and fewer prisoners in prisons. You do know our prisons are overcrowded? Why? Because many of them got busted on their 3rd strike puffing a doobie.
Do people still believe in the myths about Marijuana?
Why is the Feds are so oppose to pot? It’s oblivious why the religious right is opposing to it. You smoke it and you’ll realize that religion is jive. Are the corporations for it? Some are against it. Why? You smoke weed and you’ll never shop at a Wall Mart again. Some pot farmers and medical pot are opposed to it. The pot farmers do not want to be regulated by the state. That understandable! But hey! You got to sacrifice somewhere!
Medical pot clinics would lose money because pot will be available at any drug store. Organized crime will lose millions of dollars. Some how, I don’t pity them. Dope dealers have been overcharging customers of marijuana far too long. A state price control is fine with me. Maybe the Federal government is in cahoots with organized crime? You take away the drug war and a lot of cops will lose their jobs!
I’m sorry, I just don’t get it?

1. Well, that poll included 441 voters. But also, a lot of people who are for it ro
are voting against it. I think they like it how it is. Very sad. greed sucks.
