BTW a good man and the brother of our next door neighbor years ago in PA in a middle class neighborhood was the Governor, Ray Shafer and in the early 1970s studied Marijuana @ the request of Dick Nixon and after a year of real work told Nixon to let it go
and decriminalization should be done but Nixon with the backing of Mitchell and Erlichman shelved that idea so as to fuck with the students, hippies, and the blacks.

BTW Ray Shafer was the finest man I have ever known and he was a Republican too.

Stoners to the polls.
