Alabama lawmakers unanimously voted to stop issuing marriage licenses so gay couples can't get one

55. Ohhh, you got me on that one, Jedi Guy.

I live in a state where it is legal. And I not only support that, I signed petitions to get it on the ballot, initially to get the ball rolling for medical benefits. Now it is legal for recreational usage. All things in moderation . . . makes sense to me.

Though I don't imbibe myself (due to medical complications), I continue to support people who find it beneficial for treating medical issues, especially when ALL else has failed. The hypocrisy of the government is mind-boggling -- there was a government funded program (I think it started under Carter, sunsetted under GHWB.) for medical usage by a select group of people, for whom all other meds had failed, that PROVED its benefits. The National Academy of Science documented their work in detail, validating the success of using pot as treatment options.

Prohibition - of anything - has never worked, as we all know. I find it hilarious that Alaska is considering legalization. When I was graduating from HS, a large number of boys were going there to work on the pipeline (1970s). It was legal there then. An added incentive to thousands of young men, living far from home, in a place with no nightlife and few women. Then, in the RR era, it was banned. Short-sighted. Now, they want to make it legal again.
