PotHeads Win: Gabbie Giffords Quits Congress

Gabrielle Giffords, a Democrat, bravely fought back against her debilitating gunshot wound and is this week resigning from Congress. She is a patriot and a great American. I would have been proud to count her as my own representative had I lived in Arizona.

So am I going to turn this into a political issue? You betcha, but I really don’t care about what flavor the next Congressman is going to be from her district. Gabbie will be a tough act to follow and I’m certain her constituents will use her as the measuring stick to get someone great, regardless of the political party.

Jared Loughner, her attacker, had psychological problems that were extremely exacerbated by his marijuana abuse– an abusive level that is now often viewed in this country as a private matter and a right rather than the criminal matter it actually is. Decriminalization of marijuana and lack of the will to enforce laws on the books have led to massive amounts of drugs coming across the Mexican border and hundreds of deaths in Mexico and the US due to Cartel activities.

Gabby Giffords is quitting because she got shot in the head by a pothead psycho. Loughner became a pothead psycho because Arizona and the Federal Government got soft on marijuana enforcement. Just a sad situation all around.
