Man, that’s so true. The people DO NOT like same sex marriage. But Federal judges have the divine right of kings to force them to accept it.
In time my friend, the people will understand the damage this drug does, and those of us who urged non legalization will be vindicated. A lot of lives are going to be diminished or lost until then.

This is not an endorsement of pot or any drug or any banned substance, just that individuals should be allowed to make their own choice.
