historically and presently most Americans do not share your pro-pot views.

Nationwide "54% favor marijuana legalization": http://www.people-press.org/2014/04/02/americas-new-drug-policy-landscape/

It's been 13 months since a poll showed American favoring the legalization of pot. That seems to confirm my point that historically Americans have objected.

What are you trying to say here - that to you "historically" means less than 13 months ago? And is there evidence that things have changed in those 13 months?

We're right not to want it legal as we're forced to bear the burden of drugs and its consequences.

Society has through its elected representatives chosen to create programs through which this burdening takes place. The conservative position is to end such rights-violating welfare/redistributive programs, not to use them as an excuse for still more rights-violating policies like drug criminalization.

Okay, this is getting tedious. Historically, Americans have not elected black men president of the United States. You do realize that right? Now, in 2008 we did. Likewise, historically Americans did not favor legalizing pot. Gallup, for the first time ever, thirteen months ago found in a poll that most Americans favored legalizing pot.

The US experiment with legalizing pot will end soon, well before you're king.
