I think Joe should try to make good on a lot of things we won't get in a Trump administration before he leaves.
I believe pot legalization is a political slam dunk, because of the republican money tied up in it, and would be insulated from Trump reversing it.
But hey, post your interest so I can choose a smiley to express how I feel about it. I hear high hatting is all the rage right now.

Last was about 2006, just didn't get anything out of it anymore.
Nothing against legalization, but with the current megaclusterfuck, it isn't one of my priorities.
I'm a little edgy.
Perhaps a toke or two would do me good.
Apologies.

Bastards banged on the door first thing in the morning, rushed in and handcuffed me, my wife, and my two adult children a month before my state decriminalized over a misreport about dealing and a roach my son had thrown out in the trash that they rooted through one night.
And this thing in my state about only state-grown weed for sale is a limit on my freedoms at 64yo that I'm chafing at to have taken down so I can enjoy life more.
My wife depends on weed ointments for her painful arthritis. Me, I'm sure there must be some medical reason why I've craved pot like life since I was 13.
No worries about being sharp. If you're reacting, you're living.

(416 posts)He disappeared a few months ago. We don't know where he is.
Last year, as his uncle, I had to disown him. He kept talking to me about pot, and telling me he stays away from his family so he can smoke.
You see, I've been smoking it for many years. So, nephew thought he could confide in me. I lost it with him.
He has three young kids! Their grandfather (my younger brother) is filling in to be a father to the kids.
The worst I ever did was skip class to smoke (and maybe be a bad role model for my nephew).
