Yes, the wall is crumbling. We are winning, but it’s not over yet. It ain’t over ’til the fat lady (can walk into a store in any state, county or municipality, show ID proving they are of legal age, purchase marijuana for recreational use, go home, roll a joint (fill a pipe, bong, vaporizer) fire it up, relax and then) sings.

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.
Of all the usual personal attacks against Aaron I’ve heard, that one was pretty fair. I myself wonder how one gains a prominent position in the MPP.
Though it is is certainly possible for a non-smoker to fight prohibition, I sort of hope that my benefactors have some first-hand experience.
I hate how the guy was a childish dick to Aaron at the end. This is a serious issue, with so many lives ruined. This dick news guy tries to undermind Aaron´s valid points by making him out as a big pot head in the head. We need always take this seriously to show others this is serious, not a joke. News guy = douche baggg
True. Like Judge Pregerson said in Raich v Gonzales, “for the time being, this issue remains in the arena of public debate and legislative action”.
We’ve got to continue debating publicly until we’ve got enough supporters to force them legalize the commercial production and sale of marijuana to adults!
We’re still talking about this, which means we’re winning!!!!!!
