Literally Talked Marijuana Reform with IL Gov Rauner at the Grateful Dead Show in Chicago

Out of pure luck, my friends and I ended up sitting directly behind Gov Rauner at the Grateful Dead show last night. During an intermission, we actually had a short but meaningful conversation about Illinois legalizing weed to use the tax surplus to fix the rest of the budget, like Colorado. He seemed to agree with me enough that I now have faith in Illinois going legal sooner than later

wow, politicians making sense, what is this crazy topsy-turvy world coming to? we need to double down on the drug war to discourage all these unethical druids from their undesirable notions of free thought! /s

Yeah, pretty cool. President Obama also acknowledged the Grateful Dead shows.
