There is absolutely no reason why pot should remain illegal.

Of course there's a reason: The majority of Americans are not in favor of legalization.

I do agree with you if you are talking about California and the other states where the people have spoken at the ballot box.

I must have missed that referendum. I'd love a chance to actually vote on it.

The majority of Americans are stupid. Hell, just look at the goobermint that we dumb asses keep voting back in.

LOL. So which side are you taking? On any presidential election 2008 thread, references to the majority of Americans are (here at FR) typically quite negative, given the results of the last election. As in, whatever the majority wants, we should have done the opposite.

Even if that's true, these laws should not be made by one-size-fits-all Federal government. If the people of Utah don't want pot legal in their state, so be it. However, if the people of California vote to legalize it, they should have that right.
