While, like many of the world's people I listened to the Presidential election last night, my eyes were on the U.S. elections page. That's right, I listened on the radio and watched what I was also interested in on the Net. What I was watching was the marijuana revolution. The voters again, gave the establishment the finger. The results in California and Massachusetts were overwhelming. In Nevada, too. Even in the redneck south, Floridians ok'd medical pot. Arkansas, too.

My interest in pot, other than the personal freedom question, is the medical uses for this substance. I see pot as a partial answer to alcohol and narcotic abuse. We will never keep people from using, but we can surely do better. We will know when this substance is de-scheduled and proper academic studies can be made to answer this question one way or the other.

Surely, Congress must now act on this question if the new president does not. Real life experience e leads me to believe my hunch is right. What about you?
