Nevertheless, there is this weird disconnect between Eastern pols and their voters- witness how the Massachusets legislature has desperately tried to throw up roadblocks to implimenting the legalization the voters there passed- hell, in Florida you have a MMJ amendment that passed by over 70%, and all the legislature can agree on is that something needs to be done NOW to prevent it from resulting in any medical marijuana patients actually being able to obtain, you know, medical marijuana.

Compare that to the situation on the West Coast, where our leaders actually have a clue on this issue.

I think Illinois is a breath of refreshing sanity, far too rare east of the Rockies right now.
