Yeah I know I just wrote about this yesterday, but interesting things are happening right now in california.
Here is an ad released across the state, except on some stations that are refusing to play it.
It's my opinion that keeping marijuana illegal does nothing to help society at large. Instead our current policies play directly into the hands of drug cartels, big pharmaceutical companies, police departments who justify funding through arrest rates, and a vast prison system that validates its existence largely through the unjust incarceration of millions of harmless smokers. We are the children of a generation that smoked. Many of our parents still smoke, whether or not they want you to know about it. The last three U.S. presidents smoked. With the above-referenced population shift in full effect, now is the time to enact reform... before the baby boomers forget the joys of the loco weed.
Edit: Fox news video of the reasons not to legalize marijuana...

Things I learned this week
Too much red wine gives you the runs.
Creep is a love song.
Being graduated is a lot like not being graduated.
A math major from pitzer gets you 70k a year and a Maserati.
A math major from ASU gets you, well I'm not sure yet, but not that.
That Obama text message to legalize marijuana? Yeah, thats a fraud. The area code is new jersey, not dc, plus obama can't legalize marijuana, only congress can do that... if you are interested in legalizing marijuana, there are a couple things you can do. Write your congressman and ask him to consider changing the classification of marijuana from a schedule 1 drug. Schedule 1 means that the federal government considers marijuana to have no medicinal value and to be highly addicting. This is the same category as heroin. Doug Stanhope points out that all drugs should be legalized, with the obvious medicinal value of curing the horrible disease of boredom...
(thank you eric for showing me stanhope.)
Or you can email your state representative and ask him to lessen penalties against possession and dealing.
Here is Ed Ableser's email. He's our state representative if you live in tempe. Nice guy.
eableser@azleg.gov
And here is Harry Mitchell's shit... Harry used to teach at Tempe High and is also a pretty great dude.

So yeah.
Learned lots this week.
I also learned a bunch about the internet and the world wide web, but all i did for that was read their wikipedia entries, so if you're interested i guess you can just do that instead of me telling you about it. Very interesting though. I'll leave you with a picture of the internet:

Top 5 places to swim for free in Tempe
So it's hot as balls, you live in a shitty duplex with janky AC, and the public pools are littered with heroin needles and small-bladdered seven year olds. What ever will you do? Break into shit, obviously. But where, and how? We've got the info...
5. Dig a hole!
So the simplest way to stay cool is to bring the pool to you. That's right, dig a hole, fill it with water, and stand in it. Mud is good for the skin... and maybe this will happen?
4. The Buttes
If you're looking for a bit more of a dignified experience, check out The Buttes. This hilltop hotel boasts a beautiful pool, outside bar (remember to order your drinks to room 221), and four secluded hot tubs nestled high in the hills. Tips... remember not to bring a towel. Nothing gives away an interloper like a bath towel at a hotel pool. Walk directly to the elevators on the entry floor and just hit the button to the pool. You never have to walk inside the hotel, or even go by any security. Good times!
3. Adult Swim at the Wyndham
Yeah there's a cover (5 bucks) and its only once a week (2-10 on sundays) but g-damn if its not a good time. 3 dollar pbr, djs all day, extraordinarily cute girls wanting to take your picture, and general weirdness. Plus you're at a pool. On the roof of a hotel. In a city. Take the light rail there and back. The stop is on central and Adams, right across from the hotel. Bring your cool kid glasses.
2. Cliff jumping in sycamore creek canyon.
Think tubing, except instead of baking in the sun while getting anally probed with rocks as you float down a extremly slow moving "river" surrounded 5,000 rednecks, you are alone in a shady canyon, kicking back on a sandy beach with a few friends. Every so often you swim through the cool deep pool of spring water, climb the rocks on the other side and pull a sweet 20-foot gainer into the depths. Bring beer, since the hike into the canyon isn't too long. Camping in the canyon isn't exactly approved, but you're probably a-okay. Check out the caves and indian cliff dwellings a bit past the swimming hole. Directions!
1. Vista Del Sol
You really can't go wrong here. The best sand volleyball in Tempe, pool, jacuzzi, gas bbq, and all the ASU meathead and coed eye candy you could ever desire. The only trouble is getting in and that's not too much trouble at all. On any given day, almost no one at the pool actually lives in the complex. You just have to get someone to open the gates for you and you're in like flynn. (I don't really get that expression but I'm gonna use it anyways.) The kids who live there are dropping $1000 a month for the place, but there's no reason the rest of us can't use it for free. With some balls, you can sneak your way into the much more closely guarded multi-use building next to the pool and enjoy free pool, a private movie theater, ping pong, and a gym. Try talking loudly on your cellphone about all the blow you have stored in your room while strolling brazenly through the front entrance wearing some Ed Hardy swim trunks and a popped collar. You'll blend right in. Seriously though, we're there like every other day playing volleyball, so come join.
Thats all folks. Stay cool this summer, and if you have any tips, let the report know.
