SPRINGFIELD — Gov. J.B. Pritzker tried marijuana himself, “a long time ago.”

But it won’t be long before Illinois residents are able to smoke it legally, if the freshman governor gets his way.

The Chicago Democrat hopes to get a recreational marijuana bill passed before the end of the spring legislative session as part of an ambitious first year plan.

“I think the bill that will get introduced and passed is going to be a very, very, strong good bill,” he said Thursday.

And I'm hoping to pass some "strong good" chronic, myself.

1. the anti-pot lobby hitting Illinois legislature hard with all the typical phoney baloney, they are

special interest groups fearing income and jib losses: bar and restaurant owners, Big Pharma, police and prison guard unions and lawyers.

I hope Springfield listens to the people and do the right thing.

2. I may move back

I left 30 years ago for California and have been homesick ever since. Now that I've experienced legal pot, only the weather keeps me here.
