Let Freedom Ring!

From the leafy greens of San Jose,
to the smoky streets of L A.

Let Freedom Ring!

Went with my son to Golden Gate park a few months ago to play disk golf. In some spots, there was an aroma in the air. Son said it "smells like a concert, here".

Well, considering that this War on Some Drugs has been a colossal failure...

Maybe if pot's legalized, we can get people to be patriotic and smoke Californian rather than going after illegal drugs that have to be imported.

Not that it matters to me, as being in a room with any smoke makes me want to cough and cough and cough and cough...

Be a PATRIOT!

SMOKE AMERICAN POT!
(and lose that cheap "made in China" red, white and blue lapel)

Nah. The Feds didn't sue Arizona after Gov. Janet Napolitano signed a law ordering state law enforcement officers to ignore Federal Immigration laws. They did sue when her successor signed a law ordering the same state law enforcement agencies to enforce Federal laws.

The Feds won't sue for this CA pot thing either, nor for the legalization if Prop. 19 goes through. It's just not a hot button issue for the Obama Admin.

Personally, I don't have a problem with pot - growing or possession. Legalize it and rob the cartels of a major revenue stream. That will save lives in the long run in Mexico and along the border. Coupled with real border enforcement it would make Mexico safe to visit again. More importantly, it would make Mexico safe for the Mexican people again.

You just "stir the pot" and don't really smoke any of it?
