from 0 states to half the country, from low 20% approval to almost 70%, love and freedom are conquering prohibitionists and republiCANTS

been in 1 accident in 20 years because i was sober and aggressive…had just gotten off a long day at work, still wish i had smoked…lucky to be alive

marijuana keeps my calm and focused, my pain at ease….lowered anxiety, aggression, increased patience, caution, paranoia to be safe….

marijuana helps me drive, and i will smoke it till i die, my GOOGLE crew will be driving all our cars soon and accidents will almost disappear…
