Ottawa Citizen, 23 Oct 2010 – Despite Opposition From Lawmakers Of All Political Stripes Right Up To The White House, The Left-Leaning State Is Once Again At The Forefront Of America’s Culture Wars, Sheldon Alberts Writes. Gripping his Bic lighter in one hand and a blue bubbler pipe in another, David Goldman leans forward on his living room couch and begins to medicate. The pipe burbles as he takes a long drag of the premium marijuana doctors have recommended for his chronic pain and headaches. He waits a moment to exhale, savours the taste, then releases a long plume of smoke into the air. "That," he says, "feels wonderful." It’s a feeling Goldman, 59, hopes all adult Californians will be able to share – without fear of arrest or jail time – before much longer.
