Yet another reason to vote for Kerry[views:2558][posts:17]____________________________________ [Nov 1,2004 2:16pm - Josh_Martin ""] Check this out. ANCHORAGE (Reuters) - Voters in Alaska will decide on Tuesday whether to make their state the first in the country to legalize the sale, possession or use of marijuana by adults. Alaska already allows legal possession of small amounts of marijuana by adults, the most liberal policy among the 50 U.S. states, thanks to a 1975 state Supreme Court ruling. "Our territory and now state has traditionally been the home of people who prize their individuality and who have chosen to settle or to continue living here in order to achieve a measure of control over their own lifestyles which is now virtually unattainable in many of our sister states," the oft-quoted ruling said. Supporters say further decriminalizing pot would allow local governments and the state to regulate and tax it and free up police to pursue serious crimes. "This is a very broad initiative that says, instead of the prohibition model, let's try the regulation model," said David Finkelstein, a former state Democratic lawmaker helping to organize the initiative campaign for Tuesday's election. If this passes and Bush is in office, the feds will stomp all over it like they did in California. Hopefully this will work out and other states will fall like dominos. |

| ________________________________________ [Nov 1,2004 3:00pm - attendmyrequiem ""] Kerry also stated that he can't stand metal and is very interested in 'rap'. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 1,2004 3:04pm - dreadkill ""] i don't really care about legalizing pot because i don't really get high wen i smoke it. i think the jail sentences people get over it are pretty ridiculous though. you'd think these people were murderers the way they get treated by the law. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 1,2004 3:20pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] I think if Kerry or Bush liked metal, then they would be posting here because neither would have the ambition to run for President. |
