Gov. Jerry Brown Worried Stoners Are Holding California Back

He’s Gov. Jerry Brown,
whose aura smiles and never frowns – unless he’s talking
to Meet The Press about legal pot (click
above for a 40-second soundbite). Then he starts sounding much
older than his years, saying stuff such as:

“How many people can get stoned and still have a great state or
a great nation?”

You know, a better question is probably something along the
lines of the following:

“How many people can you lock up for drug-related offenses and
how many people can you employ as cops, prison guards, lawyers, you
name it in a patently unsuccessful attempt to stop drug use and
still have a great state or a great nation?”

Some thoughts on that here.
