Yup, when you see the guy ripping open a bag of carrots in the produce section or shoving the whole bunch of grapes in his mouth you'll know what's what...

Calif. Voters to Decide Whether to Legalize Marijuana

When California voters head to the polls in November, they will decide whether the state will make history again -- this time by legalizing the recreational use of marijuana for adults

If they do I hope they criminalize still the selling of it unless authorized and taxed

California has bigger problems though...their called Democrats

So what, it'll still be illegal in Federal law.

That would present some interesting legal issues if it should pass. Could local attorneys general who disagreed with the state law file federal charges and try criminal cases in Federal Court?

Given that particular Federal District Court's reputation, I'd think that the judges would probably know most of the accused personally and may share some of the same growers and dealers.

Still, it would make for some interesting legal and philosophical challenges. Personally, I lean Libertarian on this one. Why feed the Mexican cartels so much cash when we could just make the stoners grow their own dope?

Our founding fathers all were required to grow pot in the pre-war time if they owned a certain amount of acreage. It was mandated by British Law and enforced by the British Navy who relied upon the hemp for their ropes and rigging. That's something you don't often hear the Reconstructionists calling for.
