According to NBC News, Californians will now have something else to boast about their state. Besides earthquakes, overwhelming bureaucracy, gang members, the gay pride parade, and state bankruptcy, we may now take pride in the fact that our state has hosted the country's first Pot Street Fair now that the state's government has legalized the drug.
According to the article, "People inside the so-called '215 area'...will be able to smoke, vaporize or otherwise ingest cannabis to their heart's delight. Though no marijuana will be for sale." I don't know about you, but that sounds like the perfect place to spend the day with a family and meet some interesting new people.
Not surprisingly, the fair happens to take place in Oakland...just a fairly short distance from San Francisco, which happens to be possibly the most left-wing city in the entire country. What really gave me a good chuckle was one sentence in the article that mentioned, "The festival will also feature an eclectic mix of speakers, music and info booths, but it's the medical cannabis patient smoking area in front of City Hall that's bound to draw the most attention." You know your city is in trouble when you have several civilized tax-payers (or most likely welfare recipients) smoking pot in front of the city hall.
As bad as this is for the Bay area, the very few sane people that live in San Francisco can have a breath of fresh air for one day. Why? Because all of the crazy people that live in San Francisco will all be out of town to have a breath of fresh pot.
If it's this easy to nullify federal laws on drugs maybe I can create an Obamacare free 215 area around myself. Or even better, one of those 215ers that allow me to make as much money as I want without paying federal income tax. Some great ideas are coming out of Oakland these days.
