There's an initiative on our ballet to get Washington state out of the liquor business. They tried to pass it last year. Without going into details it makes perfect sense and I predict it will pass this time.

I think people are simply afraid of change. They are used to the state protecting us from the evils of liquor but that protection is actually going to increase with stiffer penalties and more of tax proceeds going to law enforcement.

It's the same way with MJ. Pot's been illegal for over 100 years and people today still accept what the government tells them about it. In people's mind it's still the "gateway" drug.

It's all madness I tell ya, madness...
