Grateful Dead Fan Artwork and MyStory... memories of a wonderful journey California Voters for Sound Fiscal Policy recommend... Vote Yes on AB390, a State of California Assembly Bill that proposes to Legalize and TAX Marijuana... An estimated $1,3000,000,000 in Taxes would be paid per year! VOLUNTARILY! I don't smoke so I wouldn't pay a penny... http://www.assembly.ca.gov 
This Artwork is available as a button on http://www.zazzle.com/gregvan Tax Marijuana. AB390 is a bill in the California State Assembly that proposes to Legalize and Tax Marijuana. Why not introduce a similar bill at the Federal Level? This bill would increase VOLUNTARY taxes and cut law enforcement spending. That's sound fiscal policy! CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! How can I email my President? http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ How can I email my Senator? http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm How can I email my Congressperson? https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml How do I email Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger? http://gov.ca.gov/interact This is your brain on drugs. Any Questions? 
Yes, I have A LOT OF QUESTIONS! 1. WHY are they bothering this man... can't he have a little privacy to hit a bong at a party without some cameraman blowing his cover??? Like, when I was a kid, If someone turned up with a CAMERA and took pictures of us BREAKING THE LAW... we would break his &@#$@$$@***&% camera! 2. Is grass STILL illegal? WTF! What are they THINKING! Is the Congress BEING bribed BY THE MEXICAN MAFIA? Why are they protecting criminals profits? 3. How can we TAX MARIJUANA and use the money to fund useful projects... like buying books for SKOOLS... 4. If we Legalized it and TAXED IT HEAVILY... We could increase the money going into the state budget and decrease spending. That's an example of sound fiscal policy... Are you listening , Congress? 5. Ever see the movie Pumping Iron? Arnold (Governor of California) Schwarzenegger smokes grass at the victory celebration at the end of the movie... Yes, Real Grass... 6. So, if you can smoke and grow up to be President Bill Clinton or Governor Arnold... Why is hemp a crime? 7. How can we change this ABSURD law? 8. Is he wearing an Omega Watch in the BONG picture? YES! Was he paid to endorse them? YES! Product Placement ? YES! 9. What's up with that slogan anyway? Like, a frying pan with eggs... meaning, what? fried brains? breakfast? Do we get bacon?
On a different subject: What I wrote to President Obama: "Let's build a fiber optic cable from Eureka, California to The Dalles, Oregon. Presently, Eureka has only one fiber connecting us to the internet. When that gets cut, commerce stops. Business cannot accept payment by debit or credit card... A way to employ more Americans would be to construct a second cable. Jobs digging the ditch, configuring computers, building relay stations. The Dalles would be a logical destination due to the massive server farms of Google and Microsoft that are there."
