* Re: Legalization. I am one of the few adults I know who has never used pot. (It just never interested me, plus, my lungs have never been able to handle smoke, and edibles were rare when I was young. I live in Washington and there are a ton of shops in my town. I thought it over and I'm still not interested. It's not a judgement against my friends who use it. In fact, I've been pro-legalization, pro-expunging pot convictions from people's records, pro- immediate release and return of civil liberties for pot convictions since my teens. Look, I worked late night drive thru at a Burger King through most of my teens. Trust me, it was damned obvious that people were going to use and I'd take the car full of people high on pot over the car full of often violent drunks any day. I have seen what long term daily pot use does, and I'd recommend against it, but it's simply nowhere near as damaging at it's worst than alcoholism is. I am for regulation, taxation, laws against driving high, and serious oversight for grows as there are a lot of reports of serious exploitation of workers coming out of California particularly. I am for harm reduction and a properly regulated industry is so much safer than black market for a host of reasons i am too tired to list.

Most importantly, enforcement of prohibition has been incredibly racist and used to enslave people in prisons and to deny civil rights and to steal the future of people of colour and the poor for stupid little offenses that my white friends growing up got away with constantly. Pot Prohibition has been about cheap prison labor and disenfranchisement of a large portion of the population. It's not just or logical or good for our country. The sooner we end it the better, and the sooner we let people get on with their lives and return their rights and freedom the better.

* I just want to assure people that I haven't given up on Archaeology/history updates or doing Black Sails retrospective. It's just that the firehouse of horror and urgent RL realities keep eating all the time and spoons. I am ridiculously behind on library books, TV, long form reporting. The storage closet reorg is still eating my livingroom. I need to find the light pieces cats scattered. I am making good progress on the art project, but it's all a time sink. So many things need mending and I can't just zip through a mending stack in an hour or less the way I did before granmother's sewing machine got stolen in a move. These days I have to hand sew with AS riddled hands that struggle to thread needles.

I haven't forgotten, I'm just tired and I need twice the hours in a day than I reasonably have.
