Mendocino County Calls for Marijuana Legalization

hand holds pot plantSAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- Mendocino County supervisors voted 4-1 in favor of seeking legalization as a way of regulating and taxing marijuana.

Supervisor **** Delbar, who cast the lone dissenting vote, said he is not happy with the image Mendocino County is gaining. He added he is concerned about what will happen to local youths if they grow up seeing marijuana use and cultivation as normal.

Mendocino County is joining in a growing movement, according to Dale Gieringer of the California chapter of the National Organization for the Legalization of Marijuana.

"Mendocino County is adding itself to a list of California cities and local governments that have called for legalization of marijuana," he said.

Gieringer argues the nation’s “war on drugs” has failed and therefore should end.

Why isnt this douche bag concerned about the youth growing up and seeing alchohol as an exceptable form of use.

Because in this backwards society, alcohol IS acceptable. So is short-sightedness, which of course stems from fear of the unknown, which is why this guy can't understand that growing up around cannabis would not be harmful at all. Who cares. I'm starting to lose all interest whatsoever in people like that. I ignore them now, and just keep doing what I do. The righteous people will win in the end anyway.
