As more and more states allow medical use of the drug, and California considers outright legalization, marijuana’s supporters are pushing hard to burnish the image of pot by franchising dispensaries and building brands; establishing consulting, lobbying and law firms; setting up trade shows and a seminar circuit; and constructing a range of other marijuana-related businesses.

Bubba Didit sez… NOW HANG ON ‘ERE. Aint pot or weed or whatever y’call it already legal in the great state of California? I mean ‘ey call it medical, but y’can git it if y’got nose itch disease. ‘Ey’s people who have doctor degrees ‘at make a better livin’ writin’ prescriptions for weed than ‘ey could ever make in the real world… or what used to be the real world. Now, y’gotta realize, the real world is all in California. The rest uv us got it all wrong.
Arnold ‘n ‘at bunch ‘at runs Cali-exbodacious done spent so much on ‘ier big state credit card ‘at ‘ey got to come up w’some way of payin’em off, so it’s get a commission, otherwise called taxes, on all ‘at pot.
Now they aint never gonna pay off ‘at big credit card. ‘Ey’ll jist do like everbody else. Soon as ‘ey can pay it down a little, ‘ey’ll find some other stupid thangs t’charge.
Bu’tchy know? I thank it’s all jist a scuse f’EVERBODY t’be able t’smoke pot in public. At’s jist too much trouble t’play sick’n go git a prescription. An ‘cain’t you jist imagine The Terminator runnin’ around high on drug?
They’s one more thang I gotta talk about. Them Atheists. Now I’m all f’everbody believin’ the way they want an talkin’ about it, even preachin’ about it… like the Christian preachers and the Atheist preachers do. (See? I’m fair. I capitalize’em both) But when ‘ey start bringin’ court cases t’force the rest of us to do it their way, I’m a little perturbed.
Like at bunch in Wisconsin at got a judge t’say the rest of us gotta do thangs the way the atheists do. At’s not freedom of speech. At’s freedom to make others speak the way YOU want’em to. I don’t think at’s whut George Washington an Tom Jefferson an the rest of the people who started America meant for it t’be. Jist look.
“The group’s biggest victory to date came last week when Judge Barbara B. Crabb of Federal District Court ruled that the federal government could not enact a law in support of prayer any more than it could “encourage citizens to fast during the month of Ramadan, attend a synagogue, purify themselves in a sweat lodge or practice rune magic.” The law, signed by President Harry S. Truman in 1952, calls on the president to sign a proclamation annually in observance of a National Day of Prayer.”(2)
Now here’s the thang. It don’t matter whut they wanna say. At’s OK. If ‘ey don’t wanna believe in God, at’s OK. Ats ‘ey’r problem. But if ‘ey really don’t believe, whutta they care if the rest uv us do. Go ahead ‘n make fun of us. Say we’re not scientific. But if whut they say is true – that God is a myth – then the rest uv us prayin’ cain’t possibly do them any harm, can it?
Like my friend, country singer Billy Currington says, “God is great, beer is good an People Are Crazy.” Whut? You don’t believe I’m his friend? Well, you can be too. Jist check out his Facebook page. I even have a friend, Dan Hodges, who owns part of another song he sangs. It’s called “Good Directions.” Dan’n me had lunch together jist the other day.
