Com: Indeed, fifty years ago possession of pot could get you a prison term. In the early  60s a good friend of our family was "caught" having homosexual sex with another consenting adult.  He went to prison as well.  Until Loving v Virginia 1967 state could (and some did) prohibit inter-racial marriage.  Guess what, CleanupEugene, times have changed.  Today an inter-racial same-sex couple can marry and grow four pot plants at home for their own use.  We have, indeed, "come a long ways.".  Obviously, we've not "there" yet.  Racism is still "alive and well" as is homophobia and some folks would still lock up anyone who dared to smoke a joint or eat a marijuana cookie.  Some advice from an old guy....I'm 75, I think your Dad would be 82.....don't let the trolls get you down....and, the next sunny day we have,  go downtown and "join" your Dad and the grandkids for a few minutes in the sunshine.  my best, Gary Crum
