Prop 19 is on the ballot in CA

With strong backing from the SEIU and other mainstream groups.

"The ricketty and scrofulous little wretch who first sees the light in a work-house, or in a brothel, and who feels the effects of alcohol before the effects of vital air, is not equal in any respect to the ruddy offspring of the honest yeoman; nay, I will go further, and say that a prince, provided he is no better born than royal blood will make him, is not equal to the healthy son of a peasant."

I just thought this might kill time waiting for more votes come in

Written: 2004  
Though I don't write a whole lot of letters
I figured I'd better say something now
I saw the thing about the heartsick shut-in
Thought that I should cut in
And tell you 'bout how

It woke me from a life-long day dream
While I'd been aging you wrote it all down
And though I recognized the words when I read them
I know I never said them to people out loud

Renew my subscription
To Desperate Bellowing magazine
It sure does have a familiar ring
You might say I fit the description
Renew my subscription
To Miserable Freak Show quarterly
Every back-number I saw spoke to me
Acknowledging it's my addiction
Renew my subscription

I wanna be a much better person
Instead I worsen with every day
But there's a drug whose name I'm not sure of
Which I need more of to feel okay

They told me exercise and diet
If I would try it, would cure my ills
But though I'm already past my quota
I want another load o' those magic pills

Refill my prescription
To whatever that thing is
That makes the carpet stop turning into snakes
In lieu of my coming conniption
Refill my prescription
And free me from where I don't want to be
Standing outside the unopened pharmacy
Before I confirm your prediction
Refill my prescription

I would make drug use MANDATORY.  That way, we can keep the drug-testing apparatus in place, so those guys don't lose their jobs in today's tough economy.  But the point remains, most people don't take enough drugs (you know who you are).

Wow, I never thought of that.  Drug testing equipment has become a very big industry.  Maybe regulators or doctors could do screening on every patient during their physical to help collect data for research.

or.....

The government could screen each person as they enter work to check each persons level and base the "drug tax" on individual consumption.

All of them.

The government should leave people the fuck alone.

Robbery - there is a victim

Murder- there is a victim

Fraud- there is a victim

Assault- there is a victim

destruction of property- there is a victim

Drug usage- no victim, no crime- that is until a bunch of armed men, burst into somebody's home, or search someone's vehicle, and a person with a habit ( no matter how unhelthy it may be) who has caused no harm to anyone, ends up spending years in jail, with legitimate criminals.


Call me crazy, but when I see a crackhead, handcuffed face down on the floor, the cops don't look like heroes to me, they just look like bullies, sticking their noses into someone's else's business, and in my opinion victimizing someone who already has enough fucking problems. The longest I ve ever been able to sit through an episode of cops is about 5 minutes.

Never heard of a person breaking into a home or killing someone to get a drink because it is legal and does not cost extreme amounts... With legalization it would be the same way with other substances... Low cost... Low crime rate..

I have known many a drunk on the street that would slit your throat for that next drink. I guess it all depends where you grew up.

Maybe we should start prohibiting alcohol and pre-emptively arresting alcohol users.  Goodness knows, if you say it's true, they must all be out to kill us.  Will somebody please think of the children!
