I'd love to see California (or any other state) announce that the budget crisis forces us to, effective immediately, halt the persecution of peaceful, harmless pot smokers and spend the savings on education and other public necessities.

Check out this song' s lyrics. If you can find it on Morpheus or whatever, it's worth downloading, too.

Oregon stopped prosecuting a whole bunch of misdemeanor crimes
earlier this year.

"In March, all appellate, tax and circuit courts plan to scale back to four

crimes such as shoplifting, burglaries and drug possessions. "

Financial problems also are helping to drive the changes in many places, as deficit-ridden states seek to cut costs.

Well, that lesson didn't take a long time to sink in or anything. State representatives are curious fauna indeed!
