NY: New ad urges legalization of medicinal marijuana

[Breukelen advocaat]

They were supposed to vote on the 24th and it was passed up.....

I'm not sure they said it may not come back up for vote this Yr...

I agree, it doen't look good for this year.

My father, who was originally from upstate NY, used to blame the ignorant shitkickers up there for the voting in of the worst politicians, usually Republicans, resulting in decisions from Albany that hurt everybody in the state but the rich. That was long before MMJ was even an issue, and it's still happening.

Heres what anti-immigrant whackjob NYS Assemblyman Greg Ball, a Republican, said the other day:
"Instead of real accomplishments on jobs, taxes, and healthcare, the Assembly Democrat 2008 highlight reel includes the legalization of marijuana, turning hunters into criminals and passing a tax on the internet. The legislature in Albany is a taxpayer funded boondoggle and represents an assault on everything that is good and decent in New York," said Ball.
