legalization was on the ballot in Colorado this year. Basically an individual over 21 years of age con possess a small amount and can use it at will. No prescriptions, no doctors' notes, just you and your weed. And they have a plan to tax it and use the dollars to fund education. We'll find out how it goes on Tuesday.
I hear the same vote is in place for Washington and Oregon. You won't be able to just light up a joint on the street though. You'll have to do it at home. I think it'll pass in one of those three states at least. It will be interesting to see what the feds do after. I think they might just look the other way for a bit and see where it goes.
We have a large number of them here in Ann Arbor, and I haven't heard of any Fed interactions, even though our MI Attorney General hates them. It's an interesting issue. Conservatives are often the most anti-drug, but they also usually hate the Feds overruling state law. But not so much for gay rights...
Yeah, I don't see much hope when this is the DEA chief. It would be hilariously funny if it wasn't for the countless lives affected by the policies enforced by her and her agency.
