Right. Leave it to him to be knowledgeable, factual and insightful about important topics.
Not connected in any form or fashion, but everyone thinks I am. I often seem to be the first person to get asked about pot when in a room of smokers, but I have never once taken in TDC in any form or fashion, except for second hand smoke in a room. Just not my thing. However, I have friends who do smoke, and I am curious enough that I've done a bit of research, thinking how back-@sswards the gov't is in its control of the population, all for the sake of friends of politicians. I get a little passionate about things like that.
Gov't has a way of falsely controlling things that should be out of their realm. I think control of marijuana happens to be one of those things. I can stand up and fight for freedoms of smoking pot, because they cannot bust me for possession. However, the 60+% of the US population cannot freely speak out without getting thrown in jail. If I were a lawyer, this is one law which I would be working to fight, and I would approach it from the unique angle, which I've never heard anyone else take it, a Constitution protection granted by the Freedom of Speech, which is also deeply rooted with the Freedom of Expression.
Personally, I don't like to see my friends suffer from smoke inhalation, whether that be from tobacco or weed. That part is not good, but there are ample other ways to ingest TDC without smoking it.

pssst...it's THC, not TDC. It would really suck to have to inhale the TDC.
And I voted no (I'm number 6!), because internet postings can be traced and we are zero tolerance.
Make it a controlled substance, like oxycontin. Some folks scream that it has a medical purpose--fine. They can get it. Some schmuck is going to abuse it anyway.
Ummm...like tobacco, moonshine, and the meth lab that's next door to me?
South Carolina Senator Hollings gave a speech on the Senate floor, saying that we cannot allow TV shows like Cleatis and DuddHead ruin our children. When the Senator left the floor, one of his staffers corrected him, "It's Bevis and ButtHead."
The Senator replied, "you don't want people to think that I actually watch that crap, do you?"
Hollings has been hysterical for at least two decades now......SC breeds 'em somehow.
I was going to stay out of this one, but after I heard the news today, I thought I'd share a tidbit. All I could get on the radio through AL today was Country or Jesus - love 'em both, but just not in the mood today so I got something like an NPR, but I don't think this was NPR.
The number 1 cash crop in CA is marijuana! $28B/year! Grapes and other fruits and vegetables are about 1/2 that. So, whether legal or not, CA is producing $42B/year in marketable crops!!!!
So, the Govermator might want to do some quick math to get out his mess and do more than allow the stuff for medicinal purposes only!
Make 'em real farmers like in Jamaica Mon and make 'em go to market - LOL,
could you imagine? And, sell it with a hefty user tariff on it.And, then perhaps the entire US Judicial System should just get high and try to straighten out the financial mess!!!!! I'm sure they'd be more productive......
A friend a long time ago said, "I like to get high and do stuff." Have at it!!!
Lynnieoleum! 
This has me thinking...if this weed stuff did become legal...would I smoke it?
disclaimer: I have never smoked the weed. Honest!

I've never heard of a pot farm exploding like a still or meth lab.
