I told everyone by 1980, peeps 21+ yrs of age will be able to buy packs of joints in liquor stores...the feds can tax the hell out of it...make themselves some righteous bucks & also eliminate 'street-thugs' selling dimebags to everyone.
Well, Nancy Reagan came into the picture with her 'Just Say No' horseshit & set us back decades!! But OK, by 1990, the govt has GOT to see the mistakes made with the Prohibition Act of 1919 [that basically got organized crime funded & made them a fortune bootlegging] & just legalize it.
NO AGAIN!! WTF?? OK, by 2000/2001 [the 21st century], the general population HAS to come to their senses & legalize a substance that's never killed a single person...while how many hundreds of thousands of people die each year from alcohol & tobacco? Fuckin NO again!!
2010? Ya think?... ...I know I won't live long enough to see the day.
