Pot in Pictures
Whether California's Proposition 19 passes or not, it has certainly made the absurdity of cannabis prohibition a topic of national conversation in a way that medical marijuana, three stoner presidents in a row, and countless episodes of Dragnet never managed to do. Editorial boards (who are always the last to know) are still bogarting the conversation with their baked jibberish, but it's no longer a career ender to take pot -- and your right to ingest it any old time -- seriously.
Check out the Boston Globe's Big Picture gallery on marijuana, which features images of kind bud, murdered narcotraficantes, burning ganja cinderblocks, the deteriorating Afghan war, and a host of other good and bad elements that would emerge straight and clear-eyed if the normalization of weed were allowed to continue.
And for more on the legalization groundswell, dig Reason TV's take on the Prop 19 debate:

Whether California's Proposition 19 passes
or not"Or not" is superfluous. Avoid beginning a sentence with "whether."
-
Also, nice tits.
Carry on.
-
"Or not" is superfluous.
Maybe. Maybe not. It is emphatic.
-
First there was lobster girl.
Now there is pot girl.
-
Pot girl is also engaged in market activity... i wonder if she carries concealed *swoon*
-
Whoa, whoa - we'll need to "apply the Commerce Clause ™" to her then...to "provide for the general welfare®", of course...
-
In that photo at least it doesn't look like she's much of a concealer.
-
Meh. I see better than her behind the counter at Quizno's every day.
But Pittsburgh is the L.A. of Appalachia, so maybe my sample is skewed.
-
Love Pittsburgh.
Also, caption: "So...it's that big..."
thinks "how do I put this diplomatically?"
-
yinzers, yinzers everywhere
-
7 out of 10.
-
I'll buy that for a dollar!
-
I would definitely smoke too much if I bought from them.
-
Perhaps you'd better cut down a bit, then!!
-
I believe these young girls don't know the dangers of the marijuana. Perhaps I could speak with them about, over a nice dose of ruffies.
-
Marissa - yes, please
-
I have a feeling that there will be little substantive comment on this thread. Well done, Tim!
-
Ha.
-
*scowls*
Epi! I am disappoint!
-
Why? I'm not disapproving at all.
-
I have a warm feeling that there will be little substantive comment on this thread, thankfully
Think that fits your intention better.
-
Yes, that's good.
-
Maybe you should light your candle rather than cursing the darkness.
-
Fuck you, Darkness!!
(The candle wouldn't stay lit.)
-
Those Dragnet episodes were rad. Especially Friday's sidekick, Col. Potter.
-
Just the facts, Man.

That girl in the picture, I would "do" her. That is all.
-
Maybe we should have a poll on that.
-
Who's gonna say no? I mean even a straight chicks gotta give a maybe. I think her blond friend can join as well.
-
Yeah, somehow I think I'd buy almost anything she is selling.
-
excellent alt text.
-
-
Agreed Tulpa . . . a hard, probing poll is needed in this situation. And legalization of marijuana!
-
notice the only pics with guns - or corpses - were taken where mj is illegal.
-
On the other hand, from the State of Maryland, we have this headline:
"Drug-sniffing dogs are now for hire
Catering to concerned parents, nonprofit uses canines to ferret out marijuana and other contraband" -
And here's the best part....
"The rate is about $200 an hour — more or less depending on the circumstances and scale of the search."
$200 an hour?! I am in the wrong field...
-
That's not so bad -- find an ounce in that hour, and you can make your money back and then some. Or have some shit to smoke on.
-
Something certainly is smokin' in that picture.
And yes, she certainly does seem to be packing some kind of heat.
-
Were you high when you wrote this?
-
yikes, the one on the left is hot!
