BRIMMING WITH MONEY

Oklahoma has taken a giant step backward with regard to marijuana.
Thanks to a new law, starting this fall anybody who drives in Oklahoma
within 30 days after consuming marijuana will be "driving under the
influence" as a matter of law. One of the authors of this new law
(House Bill 1441) was unaware that marijuana is a Schedule I drug and
was therefore unaware of the consequences of his legislation.
Nonetheless, I remain optimistic that marijuana will soon be legal in
Oklahoma.

Why? Because the treasuries of Washington state and Colorado are about
to be brimming with money from legalized pot. Liquor by the drink,
parimutuel betting, the state lottery =AD time and again we have seen
that when the Lord sees the money, the Baptists see the light!
