The idiots on FreeRepublic and elsewhere for legalization were useful stooges for the cartels and the left. They both have what they want. Increased distribution of product and control of politicians by the cartel and stoned compliant masses for the left.
Most pot smokers are conservative. It makes you less compliant, or it is better to say it emphasizes what’s already there. Best I think to grow your own. Noone wants to smoke Bayer/Monsanto weed.
