I see a terrible inconsistency here. Several posters on this thread will often do eloquent posts about paying more taxes or making other sacrifices for the greater good. But then when it hits near and dear to home with something like an illegal (yeah, its still illegal) drug like pot, their only answer is to legalize it. Why wouldn't they simply drop the illegal habit for the greater good? Think of that small percentage of people who do get psychologically addicted to pot. And even worse, what about that small percentage of people who use pot as a gateway drug and develop harder drug addictions? Sure the percentages who become dependent or use pot as a gateway are very small, but so are the number of uninsurable people... and the number of homeless... and the number of truly disabled. Why should one group of people (taxpayers) suffer for the greater good yet another group of people (pot users) not sacrifice? Isn't pot supposed to be this casual, take-it-or-leave-it drug anyway? Seems like if you can't simply brush it off for the greater good, you might be one of those very few who have more trouble with it than you think.
Plunk, I'm not sure if you were using my post as an excuse to posture or if it was directed at me... Either way I dont smoke pot/weed/mj/whatever, I just laughed thinking about my hippie (super liberal) neighbor supporting a bunch of AK47 wielding thugs or unfriendly foreign regimes.
I see your point, but I'm going to guess those same people will take what you said and spin it around to say you're interfering with their daily lives unfairly.

It was just posturing. I'm in the same boat. Weed just doesn't do it for me -- it kills my initiative and also inhibits my ability to do more complex work.
And yeah, I've thought about the whole "interfering with their lives unfairly" argument and that seems kind of ridiculous when they're advocating confiscating 45%-55% of someone's income for their version of the greater good. Now *that* is interfering with someone's life unfairly.

Fortunately state laws provide a clear cut answer.
