On the way to somewhere else, I tripped across this nugget from ABC News, about the ready availability of marijauna in Los Angeles. (You'll need go to the bottom of the page, and click on 'High Times'.)
All perfectly legal, with a doctor's note.
And doctors perfectly willing to issue that note for any number of reasons.
In 1992, one of Bill Clinton's inside circle kept hammering home 'It's about the economy, Stupid!'.
He was wrong.
It's about the culture, always has been, always will be.
