• We never really set out to talk about California on the album ['California'], it was something that we noticed that was happening about three-quarters of the way through the recording process.

Medical Marijuana, a pill that you've got to pay for - which, it's allowed in Minnesota, but it's so restricted - costs $600 a month. If you live in Colorado you can get the same medical marijuana for $30 a month. See why it needs to be legalized across the board?
