Not really. Here in Washington state some of the strongest supporters of legalizing marijuana were former officers of the law.

From wikipedia...."Registered sponsors for the measure include: John McKay, former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington; Pete Holmes, Seattle city attorney; Kim Marie Thorburn MD and MPH, former director of the Spokane Regional Health District; and travel writer Rick Steves.[1] Other sponsors include state representative for the 36th district Mary Lou Dickerson, immediate past president of the Washington State Bar Association Salvador A. Mungia, past president of the Washington State Bar Association Mark Johnson, former King County health official Robert W. Wood MD, University of Washington School of Social Work professor emeritus Roger Roffman DSW, and Alison Holcomb, campaign director for New Approach Washington, "on loan from" the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington.'

..."The mayor and entire city council of Seattle support I-502,[27] as does the King County sheriff.[28] Former narcotics deputy and candidate for King County sheriff John Urquhart, saying "the war on drugs has been an abject failure"."

Yep. There are thousands of valid legal, moral and ethical reasons to keep fighing in the WOD. But one of the obvious reasons to ignore the idiots calling for legalized dope is to point out who they are:

Stoned out dopers and libertarians.

'Nuff said.

Just because hippies were wrong about almost everything doesn’t mean they were right about nothing. The Drug war is a failure and Vietnam was a mistake. Imperialism and prohibition are immoral, and for much the same reason. If thinking so makes me a hippy, so be it.
