Jill Harris Interview from August 12, 2009

Jill Harris of the Drug Policy Alliance is interviewed about Oakland's new initiative to tax medical marijuana. The new tax is expected to bring in an additional $330,000 in revenue for Oakland.

Why people get high?

I really enjoy Toyota's "Harmony" commercials for the Prius. While watching television with my wife the other night, I thought, "I'd like to visit a place like that." 

That's when it occurred to me. 

Eureka! Maybe, that's why people smoke pot, because it takes them to a place like the one in the commercial.

So let me know. When you smoke marijuana, is it like being in the Harmony commercial? If you can smoke enough to experience life like this, then I can see why people want it completely legalized and why the government doesn't.
