The election

Not much into politics anymore, past a certain point you can get pretty jaded, truth is a good chunk of life has the potential to jade you. Politically speaking I'm more of a Libertarian which should say quite a bit of who I am.

I've voted a lot of times, about every 2-3 elections I'm sure that "this will be the one where we get weed legalized" I'm past the point of caring really, my reliance on external sources for high quality herb has been lessened, my risk of getting caught is extremely low to nil ... I don't exactly fit the demographic profile anymore and I own my own place. I'd say the odds are in my favor.

The point is .. its still illegal and charges of any kind could be career ending and seriously damaging a reputation I've worked hard to foster. Its not right, I'm not nor have I ever been a criminal. So don't make it legal, at this point I could care less .. but do de-criminalize it. For most people the "criminal" activity, if any was being forced to wade through the bars and friends of friends to buy it and then transport it anywhere and everywhere, usually in a situation where we did fit the profile. We're not criminals, the government needs to stop ruining lives and careers over a joint or a bowl. Issue me summary conviction tickets at 100.00 a shot for up to a half ounce and up to 300.00 for a couple ozs. Based on history alone I'll never have to pay the fine. Don't support legalizing it either, as I said at this point I could care less, just stop creating criminals where there aren't any.

I will now climb off my soapbox a soapstone a wee small bowl.
