We will get our ballots next week and I plan to drive them down to the district office myself.

As far as the legal pot issue goes, it was passed in Oregon a few years ago and there have been lots of unintended consequences. The smell of the pot farms is disgusting. Smells like skunk. So if you live out in the country next to a pot grow, you have that smell with you for a good portion of the year. Plus, because it's not legal everywhere, some of the pot grows are more extensive than they are supposed to be and this brings in nefarious folks, high ugly barbed wire fences, and large unfriendly protector dogs. This is also because it's a cash business (feds still won't allow pot growers to deposit their money in the bank) it can bring in robbers. Another reason for the large dogs and high fences.

I voted no here and now many people wish they had too. Good luck in NJ.
