We went to a local St. Patrick’s Day parade and one of the groups that was marching was advocating legal medical use of marijuana. What was very interesting was the group that was directly behind them was from a local drug treatment facility that was promoting “drugs not hugs” on their signs. I am not sure if this was meant to be in this order, but I am sure that the two groups had some interesting comments about one another. Of course the group advocating legalizing marijuana were giving out chocolate candy and the other group was just handing out flyers and necklaces. It was a bizarre moment in the parade which consisted of mostly your standard parade floats for the local politicians and hot rod clubs.
