and then there's the people who say "if you don't like the law, don't break it- work to change it!". actually my dad said that, and it turned out later on that he was secretly smoking weed the whole time! he's a gay republican pothead.
we're just waiting for the government to give us a chance to change it, the people are ready and willing. it's hard to even find conservatives who think pot should be illegal anymore. it's all just private interest and the government's tradition of persisting in horrible failed policies rather than admitting defeat.
let the people fucking vote on it, and i assure you marijuana would be legal tomorrow.
