    Nothing like having priorities in the right place

    If I had a mind like most of these mooks, I would want to alter it too.

    Well, it's good to see another state offer what people want. I don't have a problem with it, unless undue power or rank were used to get it.

    Yeah glad to see the Lt. Gov getting high this morning. I am sure she was followed by the school teachers, night shift cops and firemen, nurses and all of the others that wanted to celebrate the new year getting high. Nothing like setting a high standard for your elected position. And, for the record I would say the same thing if she were getting boozed up this morning. Just not a good optic.

    Congrats, you just put a bunch of criminals out of business and filled the coffers with "new" tax revenue. I'm curious, which is more stringent - the requirements to serve in congress or to own a marijuana dispensary?

    My gosh! I never thought I'd live to see an elected official do something like this in public.

    That said, I don't care how much john gang banger uses. But a person who is supposed to be a role model? I am sickened.

    An excellent point, Mike. I'm all for legalization, but that does not make it responsible usage.

    Not only that, but I'm sure many, if not all of the state employees in her state are subject to drug testing and termination. What's good for the goose.........

    You have jumped to a conclusion---without justification. She was buying it for her sickly old Mother who can't drive anymore and needs it for pain relief.

    That's my story---and I'm sticking to it

    There's no limit anymore, everything is alright. Marion Barry gets busted for coke gets a slap on the hand then gets reelected to the position of Mayor. The people making the laws are bigger crooks than the people they are trying to put away. And yes I'm going to say it again: "I'm glad I'm getting old"

    Careful.. they love them some Marion Barry in the two DC wards south of the Anacostia River.. there’s talk of a statue. Seriously, he did look after the poorer sections of town and they took care of him. Note: intended as humor, it’s a never ending subject here in the DC burbs.

    Illinois Lt Gov.. .. poor form, should have been more discrete.. (note to self, don’t vote for her)..

    Observation.. for every subject there are multiple views.. often the other views are from a point or values that we don’t understand (in addition to not agreeing with).. I have a hard time understanding: the love of “My Main Man Marion”.. Lt Gov buying her stoner gummy bears “ in public.. Just about anything the Iranians think is logical..

    Just my opinion, I could be wrong..
