Da Kine, Man: The Democrat Party of Dopeheads, Dealers, and Dropouts

The pot legalization campaign is a scam. See, "The Medical Marijuana Charade." As I've reported many times, getting a medical marijuana card is about as difficult as buying Advil at the drug store. And by calling it "medical" marijuana, stoners can destigmatize the burnout culture. What's hilarious is that the Dems are hitching their wagon to the bong-water vote, at WSJ, "Democrats Look to Cultivate Pot Vote in 2012: Party Considers Legalization Efforts in Swing States Amid Signs California Measure Is Exciting Young, Liberal Voters":

Democratic strategists are studying a California marijuana-legalization initiative to see if similar ballot measures could energize young, liberal voters in swing states for the 2012 presidential election.



Some pollsters and party officials say Democratic candidates in California are benefiting from a surge in enthusiasm among young voters eager to back Proposition 19, which would legalize marijuana in certain quantities and permit local governments to regulate and tax it.



Party strategists and marijuana-legalization advocates are discussing whether to push for similar ballot questions in 2012 in Colorado and Nevada—both expected to be crucial to President Barack Obama's re-election—and Washington state, which will have races for governor and seats in both houses of Congress.



Already, a coalition of Democratic-leaning groups has conducted a poll in Colorado and Washington to test the power of marijuana measures to drive voter turnout.



Ballot measures typically don't increase turnout on a mass scale. Still, strategists in both parties argue certain ballot measures can help activate targeted groups of voters and campaign volunteers in numbers that can be significant in close elections.
