Hey, I worked for my local NORML group for much of a decade, and I'm stuck in a non-legal state with a Republican dominated Assembly. I'm as frustrated as anyone about it.

edited to add:

Unless my currently favorite candidate is elected.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
