very true! Since we can remember, our govt has been telling us "drugs are bad....cannabis is a drug". Most people simply believe that without giving it much other thought.

Things are going to change in California this year, but I do believe it's mostly out of lack of options! This state is in desperate need of financial help....taxing MJ is going to make a huge difference. It's just kind of sad that it's not because people really see how harshly cannabis users have been treated. I know people who go to happy hour every day after work and put down a few beers and then drive home. I come home from work and smoke a doobie....yet, i'm the criminal. It's a jacked up world we live in...but we can keep hoping for change! :jointsmile:
