  - you're not going to want to hear what jeff sessions thinks about marijuana.... - x Nov 18, 06:54 21

        Weed is from the devil in their eyes - I really think that train has left the station though - too much tax revenue for states - Epiphany Nov 18, 07:02 10
        
        I really thought as the baby boomers assumed power that weed would be tossed out to the crowds like carnival candy. I'm surprised how - Mel Profit Nov 18, 07:20 5

        My guess is that the tax revenue will be hard to give back plus going against the vote of the people really doesn't look good or do anything to help - Krusty Nov 18, 07:07 2
        
        Since when does the vote of the people matter? Just look at the presidential election! :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 07:09 1
