Like they said in the 60's (when I was smokin pot), It was a gateway drug to Heroin and Cocaine. They were right I got strung out on both of them. I survived. I toke only in the late afternoons to make some of you more tolerable to my palate.
Regardless, I can score an ounce of primo stuff, last me a month, for <$150. Legislating medical marijuana at the State level is the Gateway drug for big state, IMHO.
It's not broken, don't fix it!
