Shelbay...it is really like this here. Within five blocks of my house we have five cannabis clubs. The cops march along side of us during Medical Marijuana Week to make sure no one gets hit by a car. I have heard some cops say, "I should of brought my bong" making a joke, i'm sure ;o). You get into more trouble j-walking in sf than you do for cannabis. Every SF event, even the Haight Street Fair we have people walking around selling cannabis brownies and other edibles. Right down the fricken street !!
I was in Santa Cruz California(60 miles down the coast from SF) when the Mayor of that city was giving away Marijuana to people who had a Medical Marijuana Card to show support for those who use it. All cable news were there. I heard this girl behind me talking to her friend and she said "what a great place to live. This is a special place" I turned to her and said, "you bet it is" They were both here to attend U.C. Santa Cruz, from the midwest.
And Sf is a very young town. Lots and lots of very young talented people live here. Very creative in both life and expression. And of course a very very liberal city. Us Greens alomst won the SF mayor race last time. We usually get our way with things politically here. SF is very diverse with a lot of free thinking people. And it's a beautful city. Very hilly and very scenic with spectacular views of the bay, Alcatraz, the Pacific Ocean, Golden Gate Bridge, etc etc. My attraction to the city is it's tolerance of other people who are usually not tolerated very well in other American places, and the Music scene. I am not gay but i am 100% gay weddin pro choice pot smokin tree huggin. These are great people to have as neighbors. Everytime i leave SF i miss it very much and cant wait to get home. I think the only thing we cant do here is take a left. :dance:
I will see what day in May the Cannabis day parade is and post it. We always have lots of live bands, speakers, tables lined with hemp shirts, info, books, pot, pot edibles, pipes for sale, you name it. And none of it is hidden. It's right across from cityhall. The tourist ome by and cant believe what they are seeing. Its a hoot.
You have me smiling from ear to ear right now. Or is it the bubble hash i just made a couple of days ago> ?:thumbsup:

Peace,
