There is officially a place in hell for illegal-drug dealers...but what happens if/when said drug becomes legal someday?...perhaps you can just fill out some paperwork to get through the holy gates. ...and Ricky Williams might be doing just that. He is still testing positive for the reefer. Obesity is not only a problem in adults and children, your pets are getting fat, too. Parks may soon get funding from condo developers. So we're guessing......
