    Why didn’t you visit or ask Thienaman where he lives in the District? He lives at 2411 Brownsboro RD #407, that is not in the District.

    A lot of people have smoked pot…but “most”? I don’t think so, Perry Clark…and even those that have at some point in their life haven’t continued to do so on a regular basis – so I don’t think his comment that a majority of his district would sympathize with that holds a lot of water.
