If a poll were conducted at exits from any American election and the the question Do you use marijuana on a regular basis? was asked of each voter, I have no doubt that the results would be entirely compatible with the ideological divide in this country. Despite all the whining about liberty and the like, I think the pro-dope crowd would find their greatest sympathy and alliance would lie with the anti-American left. BTW, we don't need a revolution. What we need is a restoration of what is already embodied in our values, traditions and institutions.

On that chord -

If one were to have broke out some cannabis and smoked it in the company of Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and co. (circa 1776) - what might have been the reaction from those fine men?

That's because you are clueless as to the meaning of freedom. Many people on this forum support legalization - not because "they are dopeheads" - or whatever juvenile name you would like to call them - but because they believe in freedom of the individual and the Bill of Rights - ideas on which this great country was founded.

I'm sure King George would have said the same thing about the lowlifes involved in "social disorder" back in 1775. The bottom line is: sometimes the government is WRONG. Just because, like the Tories of old, you have been propagandized to accept "The Kings word" as the ultimate truth, there are still free-thinking men and women who, rightfully, rebel against unjust, immoral and unconstitutional laws.

Sorry you're not one of them.

I respectfully disagree.

I've been part of the cannabis community for 34 years and have known scores of people who use cannabis.

They are by and large fine citizens who happen to choose to relax at the end of the day with cannabis.

BTW - if you have such an objection to what you label as the "left" - why not just put a prohibition against the "left" instead of having laws that harm "right" thinkers like me.
