Not only in Amsterdam...

Good Evening my dear Meridianites!

Dr. Jogia here with a staggeringly wonderful health report. The governor of California, Mr. Arnold "Hasta La Vista, Baby" Schwarzenegger, has recently stated that he believes it is time to debate the possible merits in legalizing marijuana in the United States. To quote the Governator himself, "Well, I think it's not time for (legalization), but I think it's time for a debate."

But here's the catch, something that maybe the governor may not realize. Debates, much like marijuana, are often thought of as the "gateway drug" to progress... and in this case, the legalization and taxation of marijuana for recreational use. So what a fine idea debate would be!

Marijuana is already legal in California for medicinal purposes, but by taxing the recreational use of marijuana we all know that would spike the economy like a bad kool-air prom punch requires this time of year.

It would also most likely lower the arrests made each year for possession of such a small organic plant that is only trying to make someone's night a little easier and keeps canned icing, pizza bagels, and cookie dough in a tub flying off the shelves.

A little weed never hurt anyone right?

Right.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've just purchased a new bag of lime tortilla chips and salsa and have to, well...I have some business to attend to.

TaTa!
