Life takes all your senses to navigate it properly.
evidently you lost your common sense at some point....or maybe you were high while doing 3X the speed limit on a public road?

I'm really at a loss for what to do about the legalization issue.

From a legal, economic, and crime issue, legalization seems a slam dunk. Why is there such a strong lobby against it? Or should I say lobbies?

Politics are so screwed up now, that if you don't have enough lobbyists, you get nothing.

So this raises the next problem. As an upper middle class person, what can I do? Send money to www.NORML.org ? Send letters to my congressmen to give them my opinion? Then am I on some list that could come back to haunt me?

Do those of us in a comfortable position risk our livelyhood to correct this great unjustice at the risk of being labeled a pothead or worse?

Sobriety doesn't guarantee perfect decision making, it just gives you the best chance at getting it right.
You live in SO Cal, so you know that transition even at that speed is well within the handling capabilities of a well tuned turbo. I had no kids in the car and the only other person a risk was my dueling buddy in the Saleen.
Drug users/abusers all too often have kids sleeping in the net room or in the back seat.

The point is that I experience life to it's fullest and all drugs offer is a seat in a closet, sucking on a glass dick waiting for life to happen.

For all of you sucking and waiting "blaze up another one".
