Decriminalization is simply a reduction of the penalty for simple marijuana possession. It is still illegal.

You're parsing words again.

Alcohol and tobacco are legal and regulated by the state.

They are also regulated at the federal level by the ATF, Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.

The point is that Soros and the other national groups are going into a state to conduct their million dollar propaganda campaigns to influence the vote on marijuana issues.

I find it interesting you don't care if Soros illegally screws with the price of gas, driving the price up, but you do have a problem when he does something in politics in a legal manner.

Not really. The BATF is primarily a licensing and taxing agency.

You never heard them referred to as "Revenooers"? (Get it? Revenue? Government income from taxation?)

"I find it interesting you don't care if Soros illegally screws with the price of gas, driving the price up, but you do have a problem when he does something in politics in a legal manner."

Are you dense or are you purposely trying to pi$$ me off? I told you why his involvement was germane to the discussion.
