Such as Joe Biden.

Private prisons are making bank on locking people up, and they have very good lobbyists.

Never smelled that great in the first place, in my experience.

Such as almost any of them. The entire congress is held to ransom by corporations of one kind or another.

I always smell raw sewage when I walk around from one casino to the other. Especially when it's hot. But I digress.

Maybe. But the concept of legalization enjoys much more popularity among those on the left.

There’s no ambiguity, Joe Biden could make it legal federally today. He ultimately controls DEA.

I assume you mean downtown and on the strip. I agree there, but I'm talking about in the suburbs and in strip malls and business parks. You can't get away from it.

It smells exactly lie a dead skunk in the road. I guess technically there are worse smells but not many. Just think, the contents a skunks glands are designed, by nature, to be horrendous to others as a defense.


We were in Utah a few weeks ago and driving in the rural areas came upon that smell, my first thought was we were in Vegas again but realized it was a actual skunk. It wasn't as bad as a Walmart parking lot on the east side.
