I have believed in the past, that something has to be done to help cut off the drug cartels that are destabilizing Mexico(by the way, Mexico's official name, Estados Unidos de Mexico, means United States of Mexico), and these groups only make their money because their product is illegal in the US. On R-74, it was a tough call, but I was moved by the remarks State Senator Hatfield said when he changed his vote. 2)

Dang, maybe the Niece will bring something, I too haven't smoked a bowl in 25+ yrs. Niece is coming up from S. WA to watch the elections with Sis & Me. I'm afraid of anyone getting too cocky. But I'm so hopeful for many wins. Got 3 votes from my house “for: a black president; legalizing cannabis, and gay marriage.”

How many other people threw away their ballots after being confronted by bigots at church? @3

Our own MikeBoyScout on the rec list at the Great Orange Satan. Really touching story about a person he met canvassing. He is much more magnanimous, I'm pissed about churches politicking from the pulpit - invariably telling their 'flock' whom to hate. Nasty, evil people, defied by Mike's good grace and human kindness. Go Mike! Hey, look HERE. Our own MikeBoyScout on the rec list at the Great Orange Satan.

With no state law to enforce, possession cases would have to be prosecuted in federal courts. I suspect federal prosecutors would try to suppress marijuana use by making examples of a few randomly chosen arrestees.
