I hope this is true and not another bold face lie. I am glad to see time's changing. I use to live in Colorado growing up. I loved it out there. I can easily see myself moving there again at some point. I have alway's loved the beauty of the Rocky Mountain's. This stuff here is just an added bonus.

I, of course, do not believe it for a second but if they actually did what that quote says I'd find that entirely wholesome, prudent, and a legitimate use of taxpayer dollars.

I think the fight is a long way from over.

The US put 30,000 doctors in jail for prescribing morphine. Whew, good thing too...that was a close one.

To paraphrase: "In the sale and purchase of marijuana we are talking about a crime where neither participant...wants anybody to know." Milton Friedman.

I'm hoping it's taken a turn for the better, though...

I don't indulge, but I'm staunchly Libertarian, so I'm hoping the fight has taken a turn towards full legalization of marijuana.

I love libertarians that are ACTUALLY libertarian but haven't gone into the twilight zone of "no govt. regulation, no govt. anything, yada yada".

One of the things I noted with Ron Paul was his big libertarian spiel... all up until it came to a woman's very own uterus which was, apparently, not her own property. So much for property rights if you don't even own your own body.
