I'm fairly interested to see how the Marijuana proposition/initiative goes on this ballot. It is essentially a decriminalization of 1oz or less of pot, which I'm all for. It failed last year after the squares figured out just how much pot 4 ounces really was. Hehe.. but I think the 1oz initiative/prop this year has a very good chance of passing. It's about time we start realizing that locking up non violent drug offenders (SIXTY PERCENT OF OUR CURRENT PRISON POP) is absolutely rediculous and solves nothing.. plus it displaces (read: lets them out early) non-mandatory sentencing criminals like.. oh.. say.. rapists and sexual predators. Just so we can keep Joe Pothead locked up (or Jimi Cracksmoker, if you prefer).

Whatever. This country is so damned backwards on social issues. Sigh.
