Hey, Troy, if you could, bring me back a couple of donuts with the Cap'n Crunch cereal on top and a dime bag. Thanks a bunch.

As a whole, but would you want your company to sell and risk being one of the few that does get raided when the Feds decide to make an example? It's scare tactics, yes, but if also works.

As so people understand how the whole fed / state thing works. The feds don't recognize it, same as medical marijuana. The state allows the dispensaries (places that sell medical marijuana) to operate, legitimate businesses. But the DEA can, and does sometimes come in and seize everything in the business, effectively shutting it down for some time. However highly disappointing "super high me" was there is a chapter in it showing LA country officers standing by while DEA agents come in (grenade launchers, gloves, hazmats suits and all) and raid a dispensary. People talk to the officers and ask why they aren't enforcing laws put into place by the state... terrible situation for those guys to be in, not being able to uphold the law if they wanted to because feds, who I'm sure they have no intention of messing with are going about business. Man power on federal part to enforce with probably be next to (I hate to use the word) impossible.

I'll be there the last week in July. Eating so many donuts and drinking within 4 feet of so many semi-naked ladies and men.

We would need to hit that donut shop as well.

And smokes. And goes to strip clubs. And hangs out with all the best ex-Seattle bands. And rides an bad rail system, but still better than ours.

That's just what I was thinking, ruffhauser... This fall. It must happen. Write-up headline: "Seattlest Goes To Portland, Eats And Parties"

I have to agree with Cynicali. It's not going to happen... but if it did! Being surrounded by Oregon (and by proxy Cali) and B.C., we're not too far from following suit. And yeah, feds would never allow it... anyone for a West Coast succession? Katelyn, my friend let me know about Voodoo Donuts Monday night. I lived there for 3 months back in 2007 and he didn't think I was ready for it until now. We're going to the strip clubs for a friend's birthday in a couple weekends, with Voodoo Donuts being on the list of items to consume with fury.

It's a good idea, but the likelihood of the feds letting it ever happen, even if it was passed by 100% of the voters, is about the same as seeing GW get the Nobel Peace Prize. Sigh.

Oregon, I love you. And not just for your Voodoo Donuts.

the 43% of Americans that have used it, rather.

I'll believe it when I see it. That being, it's about freaking time. The prohibition on pot is ridiculous. It doesn't prevent anyone from getting it and only serves to label the 43% of Americans as criminals.
