"No, I am stating that there is political capital in the movement with large numbers of voters for it and it is not just a small number of extremists."

Really? Let's look at the results of Proposition 215 in California, shall we?

Now, you expect me to believe that "the people" of the State of California voted to legalize medical marijuana?

Well, it looks to me as though a large number of motivated extremists in the San Francisco area carried the day, doesn't it? Doesn't look like the will of "the people" exercising their political capital, does it?

Which also was not a vote to legalize, but to establish a limited medical exception for small amounts for patients with a doctor's recommendation. By now pretending that was legalization they expose their true dishonest agenda.

You know such votes happened and passed in other states as well.
