Bobert, post your questions again....providing you will consider the answers...fair enough?

N.G., The people in Colorado voted to legalize it, as they did Washington. Stated have that right. In California, they also voted to ban homosexuals from marrying, but that is being contested, as you know. One is said to be a Constitutional issue, and the other is from legislation brought forth later, thanks to Hearst and LaGuardia. Seems that Hearst, who owned the largest newspapers in last century, bought up a lot of the forests in California in which to make pulp paper, the paper from which newsprint paper is made from. Hemp paper was also used, but to protect his investment, and own the lion's share of newsprint, he launched a massive campaign, via his papers, against his competitors. The rest is history.
