That's My Girl
My daughter was approached at our local post office yesterday by a young lady who wanted her to sign a petition to get a 'legalize medical marijuana' proposition on the ballot. The young lady appeared shocked at my daughter's refusal and asked why.
My daughter politely told her that it was because she didn't believe it should be legal, and walked away. She later told me that while she had seen some evidence that it did help some people with the nausea associated with chemo, she thought that the legalization drive had the ultimate goal of legalizing marijuana for general use, which she was against. And that she believed once legalized, it would be impossible to limit its use to just medical purposes.
She then opined that the petition drive might be more successful if the people asking for signatures didn't look so obviously like stoners.
Heh.
Smart kid.

Too bad you can't grow hemp without it being smokable. That'd make a nice cash crop for the Delta.
