Nope, false choice. You can be apathetic towards pot. And a lot of people who are apathetic towards it are in favor of not jailing people for having it. ITs similar to smoking cigarettes in public. You can not like it without having to have the government ban it.
You are trying to make the debate solely about marijuana, but the debate is about the proper role government. There are plenty of things I dont do that I think should be or should remain legal.
But it doesn't matter how eloquently you state the case, how many times you speak of rights and the Constitutions and freedom and such, we are not arguing about guns or property rights or freedom of religion, we are arguing about making it easier to SMOKE POT!
Do you really think that the hard core conservative base, us God guns and guts folks among others, are really buying this? If it was as a conservative cause as you guys want to make it out to be it would have been on the platform as far back as Reagan's days.
And yet...
However you may get your shot. Since society seems to give less and less of a damn about what is right and moral and good you may well gain enough allies across the way and among those who just don't care and want their hit, pot may be right next to the smokes at the quick mart. I am sure Pixie stick tubes of crack and M&M bags of LSD will soon follow. Hey it is all about freedom, right?
Lord bless me enough to miss such days if they come to pass.
