I think the group pile-on with RVG is a little bit unseemly. He's admitted that he has no metric, logic, or large-scale reason to his position—he just doesn't like weed and wants it to stay illegal.

IMHO, that's enough said.

What do other posters expect, a change of heart and a mea culpa? That sort of turnaround is exceedingly rare, and requires a lot from the person being asked to admit error.

It's enough that we all lay out our positions and our reasoning. Nobody is required to say, "Crikey, you're right and I was wrong!"

Duty calls.

And by the way, I'm highly disappointed you didn't post the stoned dog picture in this thread.

Hey man, if you think you've laid out your case in favor of continued prohibition as clearly and convincingly as possible, enough said.

Have some cake. Relax.

That's the stuff. Extra credit for getting it at the top of a page.

I would love to see a number on what percentage of those opposed to weed actually have their livelyhood depend on it. Drug agents, private prisons, UA labs, advocacy groups, counselors, religous leaders, sheriffs departments, paper barons, alcohol manufacturers, and of course the politicians all the aforementioned people donate to. Gosh, if we add all those people up I bet the numbers would be in the millions. Not the moral majority anymore.

Interestingly, the higher ups of the police force were quite heavily in favor of legalization in Washington. One of the main foci of the campaign was how legalization will cut down expenses in law enforcement by reducing arrests, court cases, etc...

Especially when one does not believe to be wrong. I mean, someone can demand to be allowed to walk naked in public and be denied that as well. He can cry foul all he wants, but I doubt it'll make a difference. Laws are here to protect people's civil rights and reflect the will of the people. No matter what the will of the people might be, there would be someone who has a problem with it. We aren't obligated to accommodate anyone's personal whims in any way, shape or form.
