I have been told that when a story starts with the words, "I was born...", ya knew you were in trouble, so... here is me. I was born in 1955, in a medium sized city in West Virginia. This is where I lived until I joined the military in 1975. This is also where, at the age of 15, I started toking. My military career was spent keeping my front in place... work hard and play hard. I was deeply "in the closet" for the entire 20 years, with one exception. I successfully steered a US Naval vessel to pay for a "party"... 'nuff said. I was married for a while (24 years) and raised 4 children after a divorce through their teenage years, successfully. I have 5 kids. Two of them nurses or nurses to be. Two of them are US Marines. The other one is a US Soldier. I also have 11 grandchildren. Other than my 20 years in the military, I am a musician (Jazz/Blues) playing sax and violin (sex & violence), photographer, poet, writer, farmer, beer brewer, chandler, mead maker, carpenter, did some work in the adult entertainment industry for 6 years, daddy and grampa. I now live off the land in Northwestern Minnesota and in my spare time I fight for cannabis legalization.

    What if we had generals in Iraq or Afghanistan who were casually letting their opinions be known about American foreign policy? What if they insinuated that they would not listen to the Commander-in-Chief if he ordered on or another particular tactic?

    The police, judges, district attorneys and the rest of these officials need to realize that THEY work for US. The government works for the people. The citizens are the boss, and they operate at our pleasure.

    Somehow they have got the idea that they are a class of übermenschen and us peasants just obey their orders.

    That’s not how America works, silly. Look it up.

    Once again I like how the Judge or Cop said that he hopes they dont pass the law. Again why do cops or Judges have any right to like or dislike laws? Its their job to follow them period, they sure dont have issue with arresting minor marijuana consumers.

    So if and when this passes, what are these cops and Judges going to do, no inforce the law? Are they going to still arrest marijuana consumers and on what charges? What wil lthey say about it being legal and effecting their jobs. Is it going to be like now where they bitch they cant do their job with medical marijuana legal, so then what are they going to find ways to set up marijuana consumers, charge them with other crimes simply due to marijuana consumption?

    Its just BS they can use that line, “Im just foloowing the law” now but when the law changes they complain and bitch and try to doeverything they can to not follow it. How is that right? Fair? Its not its called corrupt and thats all prohibition brings is violence and corruption!
