    What I would do with some of that!! On the other side of the fence. Thank you Connecticut for finally legalizing for medical use! New York what are you waiting for I thought you were the BIG Apple. How is it you can’t see all the benefits of medical marijuana. How long before the federal gov recognizes all these new state laws? If more people would smoke a joint and put the cigarettes away there would probably be less cancer to treat. Besides i have never thought about a cigarette when i have a joint in my hand that would be silly! http://jokeofthedayblog.blogspot.com

    legalize it, then it will not be as *wanted* as it is being band* it other place where they have legalize it, the smoking has drop by 20%. if you keep pressing it, it becomes old new, no one want to read it, but if you keep making it a problem,some will want to know why its band! i dont smoke but i did my home work, sooner or later the bvi will just have to do something about it, some part of the UK, its legal and most of the big bad UAS, that every one looks up to, why are they making it legal? or even canada? something about the *PLANT* P.S THE POLICE WILL PUT IT BACK ON THE STREETS AWAY, MUSICFEST COMING AND ITS A CASH COUNT! POINT BLANK!
