Living in Arizona for 40* years, I can tell you this is very heavy handed when it comes to its laws. Not friendly here at all. You can get a charge for having rolling papers here! Last night the had an interview with our state aty general. Folling are the comments I like and a link to the whole story!

On Friday, Democrat Terry Goddard, Arizona's Attorney General, said that while he's not in favor of legalizing marijuana, he thinks it should be debated as a way of curbing violence in the increasingly deadly clashes between Mexico's gangs.
I think we need to take a very aggressive stand on that and marijuana is the number one producer for the cartels. Sixty to 70 percent of their gross profits comes from marijuana. So, I think we need to look very hard at something we haven't looked at for years."
"So, that lends some credence to the argument ... Of legalization," said Chetry.
"It's certainly is a strong argument for getting that debate front and center and finding whatever options we might have to cut off the devastation in Mexico," said Goddard. "What we fear here on the Arizona border is the cartel on cartel battle is going to end up spreading across the border.
"If we can't stop it in Mexico, we're gonna end up with violence in the United States and none of us want that," he concluded.
Yipee!!!!!!!!!
