‘They’re smokin’ weed over there!’
A World Series between Texas and San Francisco promises to produce a culture clash or two, and it hasn’t disappointed, as this segment by a Dallas-Fort Worth TV reporter demonstrates:
In response to the anchor’s question, no, it’s not legal out there. But it might be after Tuesday. California’s Proposition 19 on this year’s ballot would legalize possession of up to an ounce of marijuana and allow cities and counties to legalize and tax retail sale.
Polls report that the proposition is likely to be defeated, but it’s hard to say for sure. According to Ruth Bernstein, a pollster on the pro-legalization campaign, polls get one kind of answer when the question is posed by a human being, and another when it’s posed by a machine.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
“Bernstein was so curious that on Oct. 13-14, the campaign ran side-by-side polls – one using live questioners, the other using automated voices. When a live person asked, 41 percent of the respondents favored legalizing pot, but when asked by an automated questioner, 56 percent said they supported legalization, according to the internal poll.
Among men, 42 percent told a live interviewer they backed legalization – but 61 percent backed legalizing dope to an automated questioner.”
In recent days, George Soros has even joined the fight, contributing a million dollars to the pro-legalization campaign. Writing recently in the Wall Street Journal, Soros argued that “regulating and taxing marijuana would simultaneously save taxpayers billions of dollars in enforcement and incarcerations costs, while providing billions of dollars in revenue annually.” It would “also reduce crime, violence and corruption associated with drug markets, and the violations of civil liberties and human rights that occur when large numbers of otherwise law abiding citizens are subject to arrest. Police could focus on serious crime instead.”
Putting Proposition 19 on the ballot may have another effect as well.
Back in 2004, you may remember, Georgia Republicans put a constitutional amendment on the ballot that forbid the state Legislature from legalizing gay marriage. There really wasn’t much danger of that happening, to put it mildly; the real purpose of the amendment was to draw social conservatives to the ballot box, where presumably they would also cast votes for Republican candidates.
That’s apparently the hope in California as well. Even if Proposition 19 fails to pass, backers are hoping that its presence on the ballot will draw young people to the voting booths who otherwise wouldn’t participate.
Of course, if those same young people are sitting at home stoned come Tuesday, getting them off the couch and out the door might be a problem.

md, perhaps, but players’ wives don’t appear in the line-up, and $15 or $20 million will make even the most “offended” wife realize that fans are not part of the team either. and I don’t want to start any side projects, but I was once a NCAA athlete and the only time a fan spit on me was after a particularly devastating loss in Clemson SC (SHE was probably 14 or 15 years old – and I got off luck, my teammate got pelted with a Jack Daniels bottle – wish they smoked more weed in Death Valley).

There are close to 100 different diseases associated with the clinical symptoms of dementia. “While the causes of some are known (e.g., traumatic injury, stroke, brain tumors, infection, vitamin deficiencies, and nervous system toxicity from substances such as alcohol, cocaine, opiates, marijuana, inhalants, and heavy metals)”

I used to work in customer service. I lost any urge to complain about stuff after listening to people complain day in and day out for a living. I drive older cars just because of the fact that I can work on them myself. My neighbors are pretty quiet, and I am quiet when I’m at home. Spending 12 years in customer service kinda soured me on complaing about things. After seeing people living in cardboard villages, that cemented my position on not complaining about things. You should spend some time in an ICU at a hospital or spend some time with vets at the VA. You’ll realize that you don’t really have much to complain about either.

More reasons why CA is broke
California has the 3rd highest state income tax in the nation: 9.55% tax bracket at $47,055 and 10.55% at $1,000,000 – Tax Foundation 2010 State Business Tax Climate Table 2
California has the highest state sales tax rate in the nation by far at 8.25%. Indiana is next highest at 7%. Table 15
California corporate income tax rate is 17th worst in the nation with a rate of 8.84%. – However, of the non graduated states, only Pennsylvania at 9.99%, Rhode Island at 9.0%, and the District of Columbia at 9.98% are higher. One size fits all (and a very high one at that) is exceptionally hard on small businesses. Table 8 and Table 2
http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2010/01/why-is-ca...
California ranks 13th best in property taxes. However proposition 13 causes massive distortions for new buyers. Table 2
California has the fourth highest capital gains tax 9.55%. – Capital Gains Tax Rates By State
California has the highest gasoline tax as of January 2010, averaging 65 cents/gallon. The national average is 47.4% – API Motor Fuel Taxes
California has one of the highest state vehicle license car taxes, 1.15% per year on value of vehicle, up from 0.65% in 2008. [expired link]
So where’s the money going?
1 in 5 in LA County receiving public aid, nearly 2.2 million people as of February 2009. 20% in Los Angeles County receive public aid
California has 12% of the nation’s population, but 36% of the country’s TANF (“Temporary” Assistance for Needy Families) welfare recipients – more than the next 8 states combined. Unlike other states, this “temporary” assistance becomes much more permanent in CA. July, 2009 California has more recipients in key welfare category than next eight states combined.

Border’s – I’m aware I don’t have much to complain about. And the banter here isn’t complaining. If I was complaining, I’d be calling the office of my Representative or Senator. Which I do on occasion. Because that’s their job, in part, to represent us (the other part being to use good judgment when what their constituents want is contrary to the national interest). And they can do the first part better if they know what voters want. I’m trying to be vocal moderate. There aren’t enough of them.
Politics in a democracy, the best substitute for war ever invented, is the sport of complaining. Really. Ever since the nanny state came into being.

But, for every one of those, the nursing homes are full of folks that can barely breath, many suffering from smoking related emphysema. I’ve watched smokers in my family live a terrible existence due to smoking – sucks to have to rest when tieing ones shoes or going from the bedroom to the kitchen……..with oxygen bottles readily available. Ask them if it was all worth it.
I have yet to find one that said it was………kind of like the ones that retire and say I wish I’d spent more time with the family…….have yet to hear one say they regret not spending more time at work.

This is for the first comment on this page. U obviously never smoked pot and drove because it actually makes driving much easier. U stay more focused and relaxed. People dont die from driving high they die from driving drunk. Alcohol is a drug that shud have never been legalized but this is the country we live in. Whatever makes more money is what is legal. meanwhile u got kids being locked up for smoking pot while parents encourage drinking. I cant remember a day in highschool that there wasnt a party and kids parents supplied the alcohol

I would say it depends on the definition of stupid. There’s book smarts and street smarts. I’d say this about the candidates, but not necessarily their respective electorates: Democratic candidates tend to be more book smart, Republicans more street smart. But their are also candidates from both parties that are just plain dumb. Gotta keep an eye out as for which is which.

driving stoned is different then driving drunk, when you are drunk your ability to function is gone. when you are stoned you focus more, you pay attention to the details. stoned driving is safer then drunk driving or text/talking on the phone driving.
if you have never smoked before or even driven while high, you should not be saying its bad cause you have never done it.
PROP 19 STATES THAT YOU WOULD BE ALLOWED TO SMOKE IN YOUR HOME AND CARRY IT ON YOU. IT ALSO SAYS “WE WILL PUNISH THOSE WHO ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE”
same penalty as if you were drunk, but you won’t have any problems because you are more aware of your surroundings high then if you were drunk and cant even see.

Wasn’t talking about the drivers who are on adrenaline speed to make their deadlines, I was referring to cargo jet security.

pat – Bosch doesn’t like economic freedom…. just social freedom. As if they’re fundamentally different. But I digress…

“What you injest is not the business of the governement or anybody else for that matter.”
And that is where you make your mistake, if one was doing it and minding their own business – fine. It is when folks do it and involve others where it becomes a problem.

I don’t know about Barry, but I have to disagree about Joe. After all, “when the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, “look, here’s what happened.”". Ummm, staying on topic, reckon Joe was stoned?

Did Barry smoke? Or just snort?
This must be a presidential pre-requisite nowadays. If you don’t do drugs, you can’t be President. Has a better predictive accuracy than that passe “gotta be a southern governor to be president” thing.
