Personal use amounts get you the equivalent of a traffic ticket.

This last month has changed our lives forever, and we hope it will change yours too. Take care of one another. Be gentle, be compassionate. Be open to letting someone in when it is you who is faltering. Lend your hand. We need it. The world needs it.

With love,
The Tripathi Family

Half the bar is calling out for Born to Run/ the other half is calling out for Born to Lose/ Baby we were born to choose.

Good for Chicago! The entire nation should do the same, or better.

Since the New Deal, republicans have been on the wrong side of every issue of concern to ordinary Americans; Social Security, the war in Vietnam, equal rights, civil liberties, church-state separation, consumer issues, public education, reproductive freedom, national health care, labor issues, campaign-finance reform, the environment and tax fairness. No political party could remain so consistently wrong by accident. The only rational conclusion is that, despite their cynical "family values" propaganda, the republican party is a criminal conspiracy to betray the interests of the American people in favor of plutocratic and corporate interests, and absolutist religious groups.

As long as baggers, bigots and bible thumpers control the repub party, they are doomed to go the way of the Dodo.

And not just with weed. If Xanax is legal, MDMA should be too.

Good. The number of people in the system becuase of simple possesion busts is absurd.

If the choice is Bud or Coors, I'll have a Coke.

This is what I call progressive legislation. With Chicago needing more cops on the street to prevent violent crime, rather than busting pot smokers, it makes perfect sense. This is legislation that should be passed nationwide. I have long thought that marijuana should be made legal and marketed, regulated and taxed just like alcohol and tobacco. But, guess who's lobbies are opposed to that? Yep, the alcohol and tobacco industries. Meanwhile, poor states like West Virginia are missing out on the chance to establish a new source of tax revenue. It is frankly just another facet of a prohibition-era mindset that is useless and outdated.
