Connecticut is the bluest of the blue states. Nothing is illegal here. In a few weeks the governor will probably sign bills that allow the use of medical marijuana, and we will be able to shop for alcohol on a Sunday for the first time since Prohibition. Party on.

We could probably have a contest between your state and mine (Oregon) for this since we've had medical marijuana for quite some time and we also have assisted suicide. On the other hand, you still can't buy packaged hard liquor on a Sunday, but beer and wine is OK, and you can get liquor drinks in a licensed bar or restaurant any day.

I think I'm right on the alcohol info but, since I don't drink any of it, I might be wrong.

You guys really want to put forth your states for being the most liberal about what activities are legal?
We've got gambling, drinking, guns, medical marijuana, and even prostitution.
Now how do you beat that?

When I was a teenager back in the 60s (that's the 1960s, not the 1860s, although sometimes I feel like that was the case) I used to go out to Vegas in the summers to visit my grandparents. My grandfather worked at strip hotel casinos for many years (Stardust, Sands & Sahara). Vegas was really much better then when the mob ran it. You could get a dinner buffet meal for $1.50, etc. Then, the bean counters took over. It's still a pretty good place, though. I've been back a few times.

BTW - I know this is way off topic, but you guys might get a kick out of knowing that my grandfather, back in the 1920s in Chicago (which is where my family is from), worked in a casino for Al Capone. Not kidding.
