ANOTHER LIBERAL BOONDOGGLE

So lemme get this straight. They are replacing jail with fines for 15g of
pot or less and spending $240 million on a program to get kids to stop
smoking it. Unless they're going to crack down like meter maids and issue
fines left and right to pay for this, I smell another Liberal boondoggle
here (and some fat ad contracts for someone to develop the "Say no to pot"
campaign). In some twisted way I think this could actually reduce
consumption, because if the police aren't arresting kids because no one
feels getting caught smoking a jay is worth a criminal record, then they'll
probably start giving the fines.
