Leyland "Lee" DeVito: "I like pot." (Facebook photo)
As we all know by now, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh likes beer. Well, guess what?
Metro Times Editor Lee DeVito likes pot, and he wants you to say yes to Proposal 1, which would legalize recreational pot in Michigan.
The Metro Times editor makes his plea In a column:
On Tuesday, Michigan will vote on whether to join nine others states, Washington, DC, and Canada in legalizing recreational use of cannabis for adults over the age of 21.
Fellow Michiganders, I need you to do me a solid and vote yes on Proposal 1.
My name is Lee DeVito, and I like pot. To my friends and family that didn’t know this about me, yes, I have experimented with marijuana, and yes, unlike Bill Clinton, I admit I did inhale.
No, my life does not resemble "Reefer Madness."
If you’re still iffy on this whole pot thing, I’ll try and make this quick. You know how some people like to unwind after a stressful day with a couple of beers or glasses of wine? I don’t. The older I get, I’ve found I get hungover more easily and alcohol’s depressive effects seem more potent. I’d rather get high: no hangover, no headache.
