A lot of good, hard working morally strong Americans smoke marijuana.

I didn't write the laws  - I am just playing by their rules as they exist.I am not legally or even morally obligated to pay the city a single dime and have told them so ever since they started this fight.

(Please note: I'm not trying to convince you or anyone to believe in what I believe in)  It's because of these beliefs that I am a continuous learner; try and surround myself w/ people with the same aspirations and moral code as myself; develop multiple streams of income (the streams are related but different).
