An Inconvenient Truth for the Church of Gore
Ray sent me this today. He should have written my article! This week certainly has been as he says “an inconvenient truth for the church of Gore”. Especially in the Southland. These predictions get kind of embarrassing when it’s snowing on the beach in Corpus Christi!

Was that worth reading?
Then why not:
Maybe
Apparently Attorney General Sessions has threatened to begin enforcing Federal marijuana statutes in states that have legalized marijuana for both recreational and medicinal purposes. This has led to great wailing and gnashing of teeth. I keep commenting on people’s Facebook posts, “Maybe it’s time for Congress to repeal Cannabis prohibition.”
Maybe it’s time for Congress to repeal Cannabis prohibition. Maybe it’s time for Congress to start legislating and stop empowering executive agencies to make regulations instead. Maybe it’s time for Congress to start overturning every regulation that exceeded the intent of the law that it is based on. Not just on pot but one everything form defining armor piercing pistol ammo to when you can say fuck on local and network TV without getting bleeped or fined.
Maybe it’s time for all the Congresscriters, such as Beto O’Rourke (My Representative ) who’ve indicated they oppose prohibition to introduce and pass Legislation ending it. It’s time and past time that the law on marijuana be changed to reflect the will of the American people. It’s time that laws on marijuana become a states rights instead of a Federal issue.
Finally, when Cannabis is legalized it is important that possession or using marijuana stop being a reason to be denied their Second Amendment rights, that people who were put on NICS over using marijuana get their 2nd Amendment rights recognized again.
One more maybe. Whether or not pot is ever legalized, maybe it’s time the American people start acting like the Constitution means something and require our government to meet its responsibilities and stay within its limitations as spelled out in that document.
For the record, I don’t use marijuana. In another 15-20 years if “the rheumatis’ gits to me too bad” or I’m on chemo for cancer (God Forbid) and I don’t want to starve or die constipated and hooked on morphine I’ll change my song. I want to live in world where I’m calling the tune, not the state.
