First of all, this is just the typical liberal response to anyone that questions government authority. Your statist position will not stand and only serves to alienate people that you would like to influence. People will make their own decisions, right or wrong. Attempting to force them into an approved mold leads only to resentment and disrespect. As a statist, you should know propaganda better that that.
Potheads are bravely on the front lines in the struggle for freedom and democracy.
