In my opinion, having a person like Tommy Chong who won't be taken seriously talking (and defending marijuana use instead of simply marijuana legalization) is not the way to go. Even the acronym NORML screams out "hippie freak!" to the mainstream.
I support legalization of all drugs. I just wish my brethren knew how to better sell the issue to the average American. The spokespeople should be those who care deeply about individual liberty, not well-known potheads.

Legalize drugs, and you'll have a drugged nation. It's bad enough that cigarettes are legal (I smoke, and am addicted, and have a problem with the taxes imposed on smokers), and the government will only get richer while reducing the quality of your drugs, and limiting usuage and taxing the hell out of you.
What do you want legalized? I might disagree.
Do we want the g'ment to decide for us, or do we actually set aside a date for a popular vote?
