To think that we, as a society, would tolerate such an open defiance of the law is intolerable. The whole abuse of the Prop. 215 issue, "medical" marijuana cards, and now this 420 "holiday" has got to stop. They are using the Prop. 215 fiasco to grow pot so they can sell it at a nice profit (tax-free) while you and I work our collective tails off to support them. It is time to start getting serious. Maybe the federal government should withhold all federal funding to states that do not actively enforce the federal marijuana statutes. That would get some attention, and maybe these lazy jokers would get a job and be productive members of society instead of riding on the backs of hard-working and law-abiding citizens whose taxes they suck dry in the form of SSI checks and other public assistance.
