And if you don't agree with the pot laws, then you can work to have them overturned, after which it won't be a crime.

I like traffic laws. Regulation of the road prevents many accidents.

Now, should I do 30 days in jail for blowing through a stop sign? How about six months?

Here's a radical idea: Maybe punishing dope users the same way we punish the guy who holds up the convenience store is just as harsh and stupid. And maybe you're "tough on crime" for supporting that in the same way you'd be a traffic safety advocate if you wanted to send me to jail for running a stop sign.

If you run the stop sign on purpose and kill someone, perhaps 5 years would be good. Your analogy is ridiculous. People don't accidentally or even negligently sell drugs, they willfully engage in activity that is a felony. Give me a break with the poor little drug dealer BS.
