[otherone]

We are on the cusp of the end of prohibition.

[FiveGoodMen]

4. I love YMSB!! Thanks!

I've been listening to Govt Mule today.

[zappaman]

14. MULE!

Love their cover of DON'T STEP ON THE GRASS, SAM!

[DevonRex]

15. Two of my favorites.

Mule and Steppenwolf.

I love it that Mule pays tribute to great music and the cover it so very well.

Except they did do some Who. I hate Who. But I know I'm alone in that.

[zappaman]

17. Yes, you are alone in that.

Have you heard there cover of the entire HOUSES OF THE HOLY album?
Awesome...

[DevonRex]

18. Mule made the music great.

See, Mule is THAT good. But I still refuse to give Who any credit for it.

When I think of Who all I can see is that damned ugly white jumpsuit. Know the one I mean? That the homely guitarist wore all the time? Gack.

5. Dont trust them

The DOJ said much the same thing after Obama was sworn in.

Lying comes easy to Holder & co..

8. I think, or would like to think ,

that Prohibition will be on the table during the 2016 elections.

I hope someone runs for President -- you know -- and kicks it old school..

11. I Argree .

7. I think the threats to the pimentos and came fields finally paid off

Excellent news. Lets see what our activist federal district attorneys do with it.

[B Calm]

9. As a retired Baby Boomer, I say legalize it now.

[fujiyama]

10. This is going to be a slow process

Hell, it's already been almost 17 years since CA allowed medical marijuana. Ending prohibition will likely take another 10 to 15. I hope I'm wrong though - I wouldn't have imagined gay marriage having as much societal acceptance now back in '04, when bigots gave Bush a thin margin of victory. That and I simply don't trust either the DOJ or Congress to have the balls to stop funding (or better yet just repeal) the drug war in its current form.

But here's an interesting article on the next few states like to decriminalize or legalize it. I think the coasts and the southwest are smarter than the South, which is really backward on well, just about everything... It's interesting to see "red" states on this list. It also goes to show that the libertarian right is quite different from the crazy southern religious fundamentalist right in some ways.
