    If there's a silver lining to the Parkland shooting, hopefully it's that it motivates young people to vote.

There are two reasons I support Weed legalization. One, young people go vote for that shit, and young people tend to vote left which helps the candidates I like and support. Two, once the shit is legal the drug war ends and we can work on repairing the damage that 40 years of blanket incarceration has done, save some money, rebuild inner cities, lower crime, rainbows and fluffy kittens.

We also get the bonus of having this shit legal so the edgelords stop circle-jerking about weed. (Hey, a man can dream)

I do not think an anti-war candidate will win in a primary as there is too much money floating around to keep the gravy boat rolling along. But I've been wrong before and I hope I am wrong again this time.
