Legalize It?

I live on the East Coast in a part of the country that I doubt would even consider legalizing marijuana. But I’ve heard and read stories like this one often enough to know it is on the ballot in California come November (next week!). I am a rule follower by nature. The times in my life where I dared to break the rules set up by the establishment, I suffered from extreme paranoia. I’m even nervous about writing on the topic of legalizing marijuana. I mean, seriously, what will people think of me for saying how I feel about it?
