Undacova Again!

Our boy Cory "Undacova" Goodman brought up this post election point:

Why are no newspeople talking about the fact that Massachusetts has now decriminalized pot, by a 65% margin. If you are caught in the state with less than an ounce you get a $100 ticket that you can mail in. In Michigan pot is now legal for medical purposes, won by 63%. In Arkansas and Hawaii they voted to make pot the lowest police priority.

Here is a rundown of them all. Most won by more than 60%. The only one that failed was in California, of all places, due to a multi-million dollar smear campaign headed by the Governator (including 4 other former governors) and the Prison Workforce Labor Union (due to the fact that it would mean less people in prison and less work for overtime).

Next year a bill in the House will decriminalize pot federally, Obama has stated he supports the tenets of the bill in the past (not the bill itself though since it was introduced while he was running for prez). He supports medical and revamping the War on Drugs towards decriminalization. I hope News organizations start covering it so that there is a chance it will pass.

Undacova, ladies and gentlemen. (applause)

I would add this: We're down hundreds of billion a year on the federal budget. It might be time to really consider regulating and taxing marijuana among other things. Decriminalize. Medicalize. Radicalize. Whatever. Tickets bring in money. Putting cops on more important shit saves time and money. We need new sources of revenue fast, like yesterday. More income tax is not the way to go. We're already pissed about that. New sources of revenue from new markets and new ideas is what we need. There's gotta be some smart economist dude who can dream that plan up for us. How about a contest among college students to submit new, fresh ideas? Winner gets a job at the Fed or something. I'm just saying...
