WOW! I can't believe this happened so soon. i kind of knew they were working on it, but didn't know it would even happen this year. i haven't smoked weed in about 5 years and i've been battling a alcohol addiction since i could remember. i never went back to weed because i'm a resident who is still going to apply for my citizenship. so i didn't want to ever get arrested for smoking weed which would get me deported. but now i can smoke . even though i'm in New York, i could fly to California and buy some good stuff. i know people who live there, i can stay for the weekend. wow, i'm so happy. if i had some good bud, i would sooo forget about drinking in a sec. http://www.canadiancontent.net/commtr/marijuana-decriminalized-california_989.html
