How Much Do You Know About Marijuana? Take the Quiz

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/2011/0104/How-much-do-you-know-about-marijuana-Take-the-quiz/Indigenous-marijuana

The Christian Science Monitor has a quiz about marijuana. How do you score?

I missed one...number 9, I think it was, about national usage. (I won't say how I voted since it wasn't correct.)

I have one nit with the quiz. I think one question is incorrect - it's almost a difference in terms - de facto vs legislative - but they don't have the correct year as a possible answer so I knew what they were thinking about.

Your turn.

First it's one little question, then they feed you a little more...

Next thing you know you've spent 78 minutes on their website!

And that's not the bread kind of "PITA", either!

If it's a CSM survey, I now just say, "Screw it, I'm not wasting 20 minutes to take a 5-minute test"

Well, both of them and the one that had Oregon as a choice. Plus I picked "All of the above" on the Montana one.

Now ask me if those little hairs are good or bad and I will have a much better shot at the right answer.

I don't have an interest in other states' laws. Marijuana was virtually decriminalized in Alaska in 1975 by court decision. We've been able to possess up to an ounce (some interpretations of the law say four ounces) for personal use since then with very minimal consequences.
