Its been a big week for stoners. First, on Thursday morning voters awarded MLB's NL Cy Young to Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants. The very same Tim Lincecum was pulled over on I-5 in Washington State on October 30 of this year with a small quantity of-- gasp-- the reefer! Not to be outdone, noted marijuana enthusiast and former Canadian football star Ricky Williams followed Lincecum by turning in a three TD effort in leading the Miami Dolphins over the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night, a performance made all the more impressive when you consider one of his scores came on a catch (hand-eye coordination perhaps not among the traits usually ascribed to stoners).
This relates nicely to an ad I heard on the radio this morning, advertising Cheech & Chong's new tour, purportedly in favor of pot legalization called "Get it Legal." Now, far be it for me to raise an eyebrow towards two of surely the most formidable pot-ninjas in this fair country,
but are they really the best advocates for legalization? I can't really think of a duo who might be less convincing than those two to someone on the fence about the issue. Of course they want pot legalized! All of which got me, in turn, thinking about who the most effective possible advocate for country-wide legalization might be. Its tempting to say
the Pope, but after reflection I have to go with Warren Buffett. Wouldn't it just blow your mind if he came out and said he rips a 6-foot bong every morning before he gets out of bed?! That would do it, I'm pretty sure-- the man is America's Pope. Suggestions for others in the comments!
