Not necessarily a sound prediction. Many states have already legalized pot for medicinal use, in direct conflict with federal law. The feds have had little choice but to back down in the face of these extremely popular (70 of WA voters favor medicinal marijuana) measures. The feds will likely drop their anti pot statutes and stance due to the same financial drivers that states are responding to as well as a wave of strong public opinion.

The few hobbyists who grow their own tobacco and brew their own beer don't put much of dent in tax revenues. And so it will be with pot; the sophisticated growers (it's not that easy to grow modern quality stuff) will sell to legal outlets, a few amatuers will grow their own (and pay sales taxes for all the fancy gear they buy to do so), but most people will just hop on down to the local space cafe and lay the plastic down. As elsewhere, pot cafes will become destinations in themselves rather than simply pot distribution points. A pastime, and industry to support it, will be born. You can bet on one thing: all jackets will come with arm pockets.

The hauteness should forbid such sport. -
According to The Atlantic, Bush's artistic side is coming out. He actually paints, dogs mostly, but they're apparently pretty good; each one with its own anthropomorphic smirk. He also sketches in pastels.

Her phone, a feaux ivory Elizabethan, was perched on the agate table, next to the sofa with bubble wrap on it. "Pyatrick" She say, pinching my cheek just a little too hard, "how come yoah sucha li-el son-of-a-bitch!" She had my father's constant, aggressive demand for attention somewhat fully randomized. God I loved it whenever she left.

My Aunt Dotsy, still alive at 88 and crazy as a peckary with Alzheimers, used to answer the phone "fuck YOU!" like most people would say hel-LO!".

It's funny how critics of reform warn of the destruction of our society, yet pot was perfectly legal and used for over well 100 years before the Marijuana Stamp Act of 1937 came along. For some reason, historians don't mark that year as a watershed moment when our society began to finally turn around. Sending normal people who occasionally enjoy a smoke like most of us enjoy a drink to prison doesn't do a whole hell of a lot to improve the quality of our society. I think we should send Pink to prison, though.

More for KKK maybe, but I had plantar fasciitis and procrastinated, iced it, blah blah before finally going to the podiatrist. One pair of orthodics later and I was back at it pain free, and been there for 13 years now. I have to wear the orthodics, which I thought sucked at first, but they saved my sorry ass, so now I look at them as a good thing. -
Last year government collected about 33 billion in revenue from the sale of cigarettes. What I would do going forward is to reject a similar amount of projected revenue from the sale of pot, and continue to spend 8 billion a year on anti-pot enforcement. Particularly given nationwide record deficits at all government levels. Yeah, that's what I'd do.

The only thing remotely interesting about the Deep South is the dearth of paternal records regarding mulatto births. Other than that, it is more than adequately represented by its expatriots.
