It's just nice to see all this effort to legalize. It's never been like this before.

Sometimes you can sort of forget that it's illegal here. Then you see a metro razzia or whatever and you remember.

Yeah, but if you think the feddies are gonna let any states straight up legalize you are too high for your own good.

It's a step in the right direction that these state based movements are translating into ballot measures, but let's not get crazy with it. The important thing is that measures like this allow for us to actually quantify the opinions of the masses and put it on paper. A recorded vote obviously holds more sway than a petition. With that said, get out and vote mothafuckas.

This really does haves a shot at making some waves in Missouri. I can't really speak to populations and demographics in other states, but this is getting massive support in Kansas City, St. Louis and Columbia(i.e. the main hubs of the population here). So, if everyone comes out and does their part it's hard to say what will happen, although I have a hard time believing that feds are going to "allow" that happen. Apply your own personal beliefs to that parenthetical allowance in terms of the feds.

Michigan is on the list. A recent poll showed the measure failing 55 to 45. I read the comment section in the article the poll numbers were in and couldn't find one comment that was against the measure. There were hundreds of comments and not a fucking one was for continued prohibition yet the measure was failing by 10 percentage points. And this article was in mainstream shit. It just will never happen in my lifetime. The good news is, I'm old.

Also don't ever want to ignore that the US Dollar props up the EU via the Fed-IMF connection. So long as central planners reign o'er Europe, and the scrip I.V. requires constant priming to fend off collapse, the US Drug Warriors will have leverage. Bombs or bribes, we'll find a way. Just be happy you're only getting the bribes... ask an Afghan.

The part that cracks me up is that the EU is willing to accept bribes denominated in a worthless fiat currency. You'd think they'd be smart enough to insist on being givin' gold.
