"I couldn't find a single person at the State of Marijuana Conference '16 on the Queen Mary this week willing to predict anything other than success for Proposition 64, the measure that could legalize cannabis in California for adult recreational use.
Polls continue to show that almost two-thirds of California's likely voters support passage, though things could tighten up closer to election day.
No question, a pungent wind is blowing across America. Already, adult use of marijuana is legal in Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Alaska.
In November, voters in eight other states will be making choices about legalizing recreational and medical marijuana. Like California, Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada could approve the use of recreational pot. Florida, Arkansas and North Dakota voters will consider legalizing medical marijuana (already the standard in 25 states, plus the District of Columbia).
Montana voters will consider easing restrictions on the state's medical marijuana law.
In California, communities up and down the state are scrambling. City councils and boards of supervisors are passing ordinances, moratoriums and bans. Some are courting industry, getting ready to capitalize on what has been described as a coming "green rush." Others are sticking their heads in the sand."

Drunks are irrational.
Stoners are giggly.
Drunks are violent.
Stoners are laid back.
Trump appeals to drunks.
Bernie appeals to stoners.

Actually, Gary Johnson seems to have more appeal to those folks.
(He's an acknowledged toker.)
If those folks ever get straight for an hour, they should re-examine that.

I agree. Who would support a person who has known "public and private positions" and raped 12-year-old Cathy O'Brien?
