Jerry Brown wants you to get off his lawn… er … grass. Or something.

I’m pretty sure he really believes this:
California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) said Sunday that he is not convinced legalizing marijuana is a good idea because the population needs to “stay alert.”
“The problem with anything, a certain amount is okay,” Brown said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “But there is a tendency to go to extremes. And all of a sudden, if there’s advertising and legitimacy, how many people can get stoned and still have a great state or a great nation? The world’s pretty dangerous, very competitive. I think we need to stay alert, if not 24 hours a day, more than some of the potheads might be able to put together.”
Yeah, ok Jer. Thanks. We’ll all be sure to “stay alert” at all times.
Does everyone remember when Governor Moonbeam was the hippie governor dating Linda Ronstadt and widely considered to be some sort of acid head freak? Yeah, it was a long time ago.
Everybody gets old. You will too. If you’re lucky.
