Hey, Josh, I'm hoping for the same, and I'm even planning on registering to vote, finally. I, still, won't vote against my policies, as I believe in Sigmund Freud's quote, in my signature. It may hurt me to vote for a candidate with rather shaky policies, but cannabis being illegal is the issue that has hurt me my whole life. I was a promising athlete, a recovering brain-trauma victim trying to make something of my life, when I was set back, due to fines and penalties stemming from a possession charge (the charge was ONLY possession, nothing else. I was stopped because my Mom's license-plate light was out). I lost money I hadn't even made because I had to pay all the fines. Then I travelled 370 miles a week to attend a class designed for rehabilitation. I wasn't about to let it disrupt my life.

Essentially, being caught with Pot erased years and money from my life. I am a trusting citizen. I'm a good enough person to get invited by a black cop from the second precinct, in Virginia Beach, to a youth baseball game that he would be coaching. Would he have invited me knowing that I was a convicted drug-user (which is only Pot)? Not many people can tell that I need Marijuana to subside all the effects due to a Brain Injury, like, double-vision, ringing in my ears, pain in my foot due to a subsequent accident where a Navy guy tried to run me over in my g/f's Chevy Cavalier with his Chevy Venture Van, and their are other facts...

Like being a scholarship athlete one minute and then waking up weeks later with severe double-vision.

My life could be examined by a Doctor and Marijuana's historical and cultural ubiquity could be reprised. My brain was shut-off. I had to learn everything, again. A normal person with my injuries would have been scheduled to be released from the rehabilitation center in May of the following year.

When May came around I had already moved to another state, by choice, the next year, I went back to college where I'd been previously.

People will speak up.
