Eventually there will be no place left to hide from marijuana users in America. And they are going to be the end of America as we once knew it. Marijuana legalization is coming to every state in the country, for the reason that a shared version of libertarianism is now America's dominant ideology, irrespective of political party. The consequences of extreme individualism are about to assert themselves like never before. Formerly, self-control and self-denial as practised by countless millions of America's original inhabitants and their descendants had been key to making America the great country which it became. Those values made possible the hard work and savings which were the necessary predicates of that greatness. But all that is in the rear view mirror now. As Baby Boomers squandered the achievements of their parents, their children have learned from them only too well and have drunk deep from their well of narcissism. People like this will never make the country great like it was. A country full of laid back mellow folks will never work hard and save, nor even acknowledge its need to do so. It is not a coincidence that the most hated men in America in 2012 and 2016 didn't even drink.
Marijuana Won The Midterm Elections :
Michigan voters approved a ballot measure making their state the first in the midwest to legalize cannabis. Missouri approved an initiative to allow medical marijuana, as did Utah. Voters in several Ohio cities approved local marijuana decriminalization measures, and a number of Wisconsin counties and cities strongly approved nonbinding ballot questions calling for cannabis reform. While North Dakota's long-shot marijuana legalization measure failed, cannabis also scored a number of big victories when it came to the results of candidate races. ... In Illinois, Democrat J.B. Pritzker won the governor's race after making marijuana legalization a centerpiece of his campaign. ... Minnesota Gov.-elect Tim Walz (D) wants to "replace the current
failed policy with one that creates tax revenue, grows jobs, builds
opportunities for Minnesotans, protects Minnesota kids, and trusts
adults to make personal decisions based on their personal freedoms." ... In New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), who won the governor's
race, said legalizing marijuana will bring “hundreds of millions of
dollars to New Mexico’s economy." In New York, while easily reelected Gov Andrew Cuomo (D) had
previously expressed opposition to legalization, he more recently
empaneled a working group to draft legislation to end cannabis
prohibition that the legislature can consider in 2019, a prospect whose
chances just got a lot better in light of the fact that Democrats took
control of the state's Senate. In Wisconsin, Democrat Tony Evers supports decriminalizing marijuana
and allowing medical cannabis, and says he wants to put a full marijuana
legalization question before voters to decide. He ousted incumbent Gov.
Scott Walker (R) on Tuesday. ... Last month, a national Gallup survey found that 66 percent of Americans support legalizing marijuana, including a clear majority of Republicans.
