Words mean nothing; it is action and results that count.
In California smoking marijuana is as illegal as jaywalking. You should not do it, but it caught, the government says don't do it again.
"Unbeknownst to most of us at the time, the state legislature passed and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a new law that reduced the penalties for possession of an ounce or less of marijuana to an infraction and a fine of no more than $100.
That means no police record, no jail time, no worries (other than a hundred buck fine).
The result is that California has become the most liberal state in the union with respect to marijuana use. More significantly, the state has all but flicked the ashes of a joint in the face of the Feds. After all, it's still illegal to possess marijuana in California, leaving the state technically in compliance with national law; it's just a slightly inconvenient punishment if a law enforcement officer decides to issue the citation."
Arnold the guy who smoked marijuana in a documentary, now has achieved a lifetime goal--making fried brains legal.
That is a legacy for Arnold he must be proud of.
