Should Alabama Legalize Marijuana?
A recent poll on al.com had the interesting result that a majority of the Alabamians polled were in favor of legalizing marijuana.
My guess is that this majority would be overrepresented in the "wet" counties, and underrepresented in the "dry" counties.
Some other points of interest:
1. Republicans were 61% of those polled; Democrats 39%.
2. A simple majority reported using marijuana at one time; but most were not present users.
3. Many (65%) of the people polled saw it as a convenient "sin tax" or source of revenue.
4. Although medical marijuana usage was never brought before the legislature, about 10% could see it as a possibility.
5. Only 10% were completely opposed to marijuana being legalized.
So, will some brave soul in the Legislature go out on a limb and draft a bill? It would take big balls, or big boobs, to do it.
Don't bogart that joint, my friend.

Blogger Screw-Up
I am in the habit of following several blogs; and the "Blogs I follow" function made this easier by listing several of the most recent ones posted.
No more. Now there's only one. And clicking on "View More" gives no more. Thus, if I want to read other blogs, I have to click on them individually. Bilbo's, for example. Usually he puts his up very early; and on EDT as well. But if someone on CDT like me reads "Blogs I follow," only the most recent one comes up.
Oh well, I'll make it a point to click on the blogs as blogs I follow on my blog page.
But Google doesn't make it easier.
