Yah boy!!! Up here in the "Pacific Northwest"' the "weed" question
was resoundingly approved. Makes me kind of happy that I did and
still do, live in the "Evergreen State". Naturally "legal" does not
mean that I can blow off drug testing at work, on the desert side
of the Cascade Mountains there is a significantly greater % of
"dittoheads". Send us the Feds! When they come to bust our chops
over "weed", we'll get them all jacked up at StarBucks, then show
them what "trickle down" actually means! Naturally, they can go
east back across the mountains where the desert will dry them off.
We can put them out at the Hanford Plutonium factories for a
"microwave enhanced" quick dry. Rig, out.
Personal Soap Box Dept.-
The issue of marijuana being voted for legalization at the STATE
level is definitely a good thing and way far better than Prohibition
ever dreamed of being, but there still remains the LONG time issue
and problem at the FEDERAL level where it ridiculously remains, and
after around *7O years* at least, as being considered a Schedule
One / Class A Narcotic,
right along with heroin and cocaine, which of course is totally
ABSURD and NOT based on anything other that just having an "excuse"
to keep it illegal. One (there are others...)
major hypocrisy to all of this is that there has also always been a
Federal TAX on marijuana, and a tax that if it was paid to the
Federal gov't, suddenly and "magically" it made it
"OK" to possess weed (aka-"narcotic") to the Feds...UNTIL the STATE
itself came AFTER someone for being in violation of state laws
prohibiting it's possession, and use,
and of course, sales. Catch 22! Anyone see any hypocrisy here? Naw.
Not a chance of that, right? Pfft!
This will be one of several challenges to Obama who has said in the
past that he is NOT in favor of legalization. Will he now have a
different opinion and view on that or will he turn against States
Rights in this matter? It remains to be seen what he does, or maybe
he'll just finally tell his pal Atty General Eric Holder to back off
and to devote Holder's time and efforts to more important things,
like let's say those other "other" things like meth manufacturers and
dealers, and crack, and lunatics stockpiling caches of high powered
weapons and home grown anti-gov't "terrorists", White Collar
Criminals, major polluters, millionaire and billionaire tax evaders
and so on. The list is pretty long....
And also, be aware that VP Joe Biden has been for a FEW DECADES now,
one of the KEY players in the failed and monumentally wasteful "War
On Drugs" and is also credited for creating the official national
position known as a "Drug Czar" ("Czar"? WTF?) and even WORSE, he is
also directly responsible for the creation of the so-called Anti-Drug
Proliferation Act which mandates a possible TWENTY YEAR SENTENCE for
any club owners, concert promoters (including "Raves"), and more
disturbingly, even any just REGULAR PEOPLE who have parties in THEIR
PRIVATE HOMES where it is discovered by law enforcement authorities
who came inside that ANY "drug use" had taken place there and that
"drug use" also includes WEED. How many of you ever knew about any or
all of this?
And then there are the other VERY serious issues of continuing drone
(aka-chicken shit) warfare that kills a LOT of innocent people in
other countries including CHILDREN, and also the spying on US
citizens, and also the "assassination list" (or whatever the hell it
is known as?) which gives the President the legal authority to go
after just about anyone for "termination", and this includes any US
CITIZENS, that outside US territory and that are deemed to be a bad
enough "threat" to the USA and having them killed WITHOUT any hope
for a trial and / or due process etc. I personally don't give a rat's
ass about the life of any scum bag that is set on killing a lot of
innocent people for any damned "cause" or whatever,
but things like trials, due process etc, I think to my knowledge are
made pretty clear in the US Constitution, aren't they?
But for the record, I did cast my vote for Obama anyway, but ONLY
with some serious reservations concerning all of the above for doing
so, along with the fact this is race was to be one of the CLOSEST in
American history and that (his full name) Willard Mitt Romney, who
was massively bankrolled some of the WORSE uber wealthy pigs on the
planet, would have been MUCH worse and would have REALLY accelerated
and messed things up for years, and maybe even DECADES to come, along
with being given the authority to try to appoint certain future right
wing fascist assholes as Justices on the Supreme Court who are
appointed FOR LIFE. And, do not forget that it is the current right
wing-stacked Supreme Court that infamously decided the Citizen's
United case which FLUNG OPEN the doors for the "person hood" of major
corps(es) to able to "donate" UNLIMITED amounts of money to
candidates of their choice in ANY and ALL American political
campaigns that they chose to. This goes right along with what has
previously been established that MONEY used in such matters is now
considered a "form" of "free speech". I guess that means that some
people can now have MORE so-called "free speech" than others can,
right? Wow! Now, that's really some
astounding "true Democracy in action"! Is this still "our" gov't now?
But, just think about WHO ELSE that Mittens could maybe have seated
on the Supreme Court and what ELSE they might have ushered in? I
still remember Mittens RMoney openly saying on camera during his
campaign to someone that "Corporations are people, my friend!". What
a slimy, oily, self-serving, power hungry prick. But, I doubt he will
ever try to run for prez again. He's tried before and thankfully
always failed. But, I also wouldn't be surprised if one of his very
kreepy SONS tries next time, particularly Tagg RMoney who makes me
cringe!
However, one funny and TRUE note about Romney: His first name really
IS "Willard"...just like that EVIL RAT in those "Willard" rat horror
movies from years ago.
Is this a "coincidence"? Think about it....:-) Heh!
OK...Soap Box Dept. Rant mode OFF. Have a nice day! (and beyond...!)
