California Votes To Legalize Marijuana, Paving The Way For A Nationwide Push

Californians voted to approve marijuana for recreational use on Tuesday, in what the legalization movement is hailing as its most significant accomplishment since the first states legalized it four years ago.

With the success of Proposition 64, nearly 40 million more people will soon be living in a state that has decided to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol rather than treat it like a criminal enterprise. California now joins Colorado and Washington state ― which voted to legalize weed in 2012 ― as well as later arrivals Alaska, Oregon and Washington, D.C.

No eres Católico?

Wrong. That is the Goddess Seshat - Divine Queen of Cannabis.

Uh uh. Indian shape shifting reptiles that brought weed to a society that evolved around palms and reeds?

Was Sheshat the only one the cross Styx in a hemp boat?

Give your youtube a shake man, it's broken.

See Ezekiel 47:12 re use of herbs for healing. Ancient Isrealites engaged in African hygienic and medicinal practices. Cannabis was their chief medicine. Thus, it is very Católico to employ this remedy.

Hemp is one of the earliest domesticated plants known.[113] It has been cultivated by many civilizations for over 12,000 years.[114] Hemp use archaeologically dates back to the Neolithic Age in China, with hemp fiber imprints found on Yangshao culture pottery dating from the 5th millennium BC.[112][115] The Chinese later used hemp to make clothes, shoes, ropes, and an early form of paper.[112] The classical Greek historian Herodotus (ca. 480 BC) reported that the inhabitants of Scythia would often inhale the vapors of hemp-seed smoke, both as ritual and for their own pleasurable recreation.[116]
