For those of you who haven't been following the local prop elections, both MI and MA relaxed the laws on marijuana -- MI allows medical use, and MA decriminalized possession of one ounce or less, making the offence punishable with a citation and a $100
fine.
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/individual/#MII01CNN is not reporting the results of MA prop 2, but it passed by a similar huge margin, with 65% in favor.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
