4. I remember the stories...
about the guy in the trench coat and "Reefer Madness". After all these years and all those people in jail; what a shame. Why are people still afraid of a weed that makes you laugh? I don't remember who said, the biggest problem would be that teenage boys would drive slower than the speed limit. Just the damage it would do to the drug cartels would be worth legalization. some day we will look back with the same confusion as why people had slaves and why women couldn't vote.

I remember when someone brought up legalization in Mass. a few years ago. The "suits" stood up and were absolutely appalled at the thought. And these guys were in their 20s or early 30s.

When will we really have freedom of choice and freedom to pursue happiness and control of our own bodies?

We are just living in another stage of "the dark ages". We're more civil, and we don't stone each other, but we are still in an age of dictation by the majority.

One day we'll be free. Why do we dump so much stress on each other?
