BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME LEGALIZING POT

Ain't that a bitch? If what I just heard is correct, there will not be
a marijuana legalization initiative on the next ballot. This isn't
because there weren't enough signatures, a shortage of volunteers or
lack of public support. No, it's much more interesting than that.

It won't be on the ballot because those pushing the initiative forgot
to turn in 6,000 signatures. That's right. Proponents of the marijuana
legalization initiative forgot to turn in 6,000 signatures.

The irony speaks for itself, which is sad because I can hear the
squares and the naysayers snickering this very moment, reiterating
their uneducated opinions to themselves and each other as they cling
to their righteousness with newfound enthusiasm.

Well, for what it's worth, I forgive you guys, whoever you are. Nobody
wants cannabis legalized more than I do, so it definitely does suck.
But hey, shit happens. And for all we know, that could just be the
excuse you used to hide the real truth, which is that all those papers
full of signatures were actually used to roll a bunch of big-ass
joints. Don't worry guys. Better luck next time.
