That Joisey casino deal worked out real good eh. Every time I go down to the house in OC NJ, I can see how far the casino benefit has spread, it stops at Pacific Ave and Marina Bay. There are boarded houses on the way the the AC Aquarium, dealers and hookers, along the way.

Nothing has changed there except the real estate prices.

I actually think this CA thing is a GOOD idea. If DeCoupe would legalize it we could start a plot over in Mansboro.

I have no issue with the legalization of pot. The notion that it can't be a non-drug cash crop is beyond absurd and booze does far more damage to society.

But I don't think it will fix CA's economic issues. The export comment above is a good one, along with the fact that the underground channels for dope are so well entrenched I doubt the big pushers would take the risk of using them.

I'd wager the guys selling medical marijuana are making a killing in the bay area.

I also have no issue with legalization of pot. In my youth I recall the use of it by teens to be more of a rebellious activity, forbidden fruit, old people are stupid thing. If it hadn't been so tabooed by Society, it might not have been so attractive. I've even wondered if there was drug money being paid to politicians to keep it illegal.

Dupont paid a ton to make it illegal when they Invented nylon. Hemp rope was king and the best way to get nylon on the market was to vilify hemp/marinuana
