Sometimes the opponents of the drug war are there own worse enemies.

I was walking around downtown in a western Washington city yesterday. I happened upon a large crowd watching gravity powered derby vehicles go down a short section of blocked off road.

Throughout the crowd were a variety of people, from a guy in dress shirt and slacks to goth types wearing lots of black to people with lots of tattoos, though mostly just people wearing casual clothing.

One man stood out as being the sketchiest person there, by a huge margin. He made dirty grimy homeless people look cleaned up - his clothing was sewed together tatters (his pants looked like they were made of 50 separate pieces of cloth), he was unshaved and his long hair had formed dreadlocks (and he was white).

And he was trying to gather signatures for the marijuana legalization initiative; https://sensiblewashington.org/blog/about/
