I'll never forgive the SPD for the riot control tactics in 1999, but I commend them for being pretty good-humored about the pot law.

According to data from the National Institute on Money in State Politics, pro-marijuana political action committees out-raised opponents 8 to 1 in Colorado. The Washington, D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project and Ohio-based Progressive Insurance executive Peter B. Lewis contributed almost $2.1 million of $2.4 million in pro-pot donations.

they are just trying to broadening the constituency
A bunch of WA counties essentially said fuck it and have already dropped all pending small time possession cases and won't prosecute any new ones.
Also realizing that my last teaching day of the semester is the first day after the law kicks in, guessing a couple of my students will be pretty fried.

Aimless, are you still feeling as cynical as you were in 2010 about the possibility of legalizing marijuana on a federal level?
― Mordy, Thursday, 15 November 2012 18:39 (eleven years ago) link
Less so. The needle is moving toward federal deregulation, and removing it from the controlled list so states can regulate it. But all the movement is going to have to be initiated from grassroots and pushed up to the top. The congress and pres are not going to lead on this until it's obvious there is minimal political cost for dereg.

I've always held out hope that when the passage of time resulted in those who became adults before "the sixties" dying off and provided an evergrowing influx of voters who were born post "the sixties", what seemed impossible would quickly become inevitable.

What a poorly written article too. It's obviously not about "decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana" since that has already happened without issue in other states.

CCA can stuff it afaic -- esp their for-profit immigration detention centers
CCA, the nation's largest for-profit prison/immigrant detention center operator, with more than 92,000 prison and immigrant detention "beds" in 20 states and the District of Columbia, reported $1.7 billion in gross revenue last year. This revenue is derived almost exclusively from tax payer-funded government (county, state, federal) contracts through which the corporation is paid per-diem, per-prisoner rates for the warehousing of prisoners and immigrant detainees.

Pennsylvanians don’t want marijuana legalized, but they favor letting adults use it for medical purposes, that’s according to the latest Franklin & Marshall College Poll.The poll found that 55 percent of respondents said no to making marijuana legal, but that is down from a 2010 study, where 60 percent said no and a 2006 study where 72 percent said no.Of those polled, 36 said yes, they support legalizing marijuana, which is up from 33 percent in 2010 and 22 percent in 2006.When it comes to using marijuana for medical purposes, as recommended by a doctor, 51 percent of those polled strongly favored it, and 31 percent somewhat favored it. On the other side, 13 percent strongly opposed and 3 percent somewhat opposed. The results were not very different from the 2010 and 2006 results.The Franklin & Marshall College Poll interviewed 622 Pennsylvania voters between January 29 and February 3. The margin of error is reported as plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.

I wish PA electorate was into legalizing it entirely but for my personal needs legalizing it medicinally would be a huge deal so this is basically good news.
