If these guys had the brains or guts to argue for legalization on the merits, maybe somebody would listen to them.

There are plenty of people with both right here on FR that do argue legalization on the merits.
There are others here on FR that wouldn't listen to them if they had a bullhorn to their ears.

The case for legalization can be made effectively without the medicinal marijuana lie.
