I can think of two former supporters of the WOsD here on FR who have publically stated that their views on the issue have recently changed

I was pro-WOD (up to 2 weeks ago) until I saw the multitude of reports of innocents being killed by black pajama clad American style Gestapo agents. I then took a hard long look at the moral implications and reallized that I did NOT want to live in a country that would shred it's basic founding beliefs in an attempt to control an others morality. Besides that I also came to realize that the WOD was NOT an effort to help America be better, BUT was instead a HUGE and thinly disguised cash cow for various criminal enterprises passing themselves off as LE agencies.

Well, I was anti-WoD for awhile, till I saw the demands for "purity" made of me by the Libertines.

It wasn't enough to be against the WoD as a Federal intrusion; you had to see free dope as a fundamental constitutional right.

You had to agree that taking dope is a harmless personal choice that has NO EFFECT on anyone else.

That being so patently untrue (in fact, such insufferable BS) that I had to step back and reexamine things.

That's when I realized that the WoD had done FAR more GOOD than evil.

Now, I'm an out-and-out supporter.
