Perhaps by now you have all heard that the Tax Cannabis campaign in California has succeeded in qualifying an initiative to make marijuana use legal for all adults for the November ballot.
For some of you -- like our good friend, Dr. Zombie -- this is big news. The biggest! For others, you may be supportive, but at the same time you are somewhat dismissive. It is just not that important an issue. We need to deal with health care (at least we did) and bring our troops home from Iraq.
Moreover, you say, this is a political blog. We are supposed to be figuring out how to get Democrats elected so they can enact policies to help the American people.
Well, wake up people. This IS going to help get Democrats elected. In fact, Jerry Brown should be the happiest man in America today. He just won the gubernatorial election.
