Good. I've not really been following it, but there's a legalization bill on the ballot in Maine, Question 1, and that is where I grew up and my folks still live. In many places, pot is all but legal anyway, even leaving out the massive numbers of people that have medicinal cards. It was not an uncommon experience to see the Navy choppers circling over the house in the early fall, using their infrared equipment in combination with the sheriffs on training runs to sniff out pot plantations in the area. My neighbor down the street was featured in the local newspaper for having a "green thumb" and tending to the county jail vegetable gardens after being busted for marijuana growing. Everybody knew it, too; I'd stumbled on his grow sites more than a few times in the woods around while deer hunting. Really, the fact that it is not legal and taxed similar to alcohol or tobacco is a huge failure. I think we can mostly agree that "Reefer Madness" was overblown, and if we're going to criminalize drugs, we might as well worry about things that are a tad more dangerous to the person taking it and everyone else around them, like heroin, or crack, or fentanyl.
