This fucking "war on drugs" needs to fucking END already !!!

1. National Guard used for a police raid?

WTF?

A little heavy handed on the ole police state.

Good thing the Air Force wasn't called in.

2. To think that MA would be so uncivilized is horrifying.

I'm lucky to live in WA state. All they have to do is look at us. Have we gone wild or crazy since it's been legalized here? Are we all spending our days eating cheetos on Mom's couch?

This country's marijuana laws are a stark illustration of how regressive we are.

I'm very sorry for this woman and her son. Marijuana is very helpful to this hot-wired old lady (me). I could buy anti-anxiety meds from big pharma, which is what is the real agenda of continuing to criminalize MJ use, or I can have a puff when I feel myself getting amped up, and it calms my anxious brain. It's non-addictive, affordable, natural, and regulated here, contributing money into the State's tax base.

Really looking forward to when the entire country gets on board. Maybe then everyone will

CHILL OUT!!!!
