It's the potheads own fault that pot is still illegal. Most of them don't vote. Jeez, there's supposed to be like what 20 million potheads in the US? The ones that do vote appear to vote for the same parties that want to imprison them. You would think they would at least vote Libertarian or the Constitution party. The LP wants to outright legalize all drugs and the CP views it as a States Rights issue and wants the federal government out of it (except for drug interdiction along our borders)

Of course they would probably not win any offices, but I believe it would scare the heck out of the mainstream parties and cause them to rethink their views.

I would think that 20 million voters would be a rather large voting block. Especially when you consider the number of friends and family who may vote the same way.

So what do potheads do? They just kick back, smoke their weed and let life pass them by, hoping they don't get caught and then whining about the injustice of it when they do.

I'm against the WOD for Constitutional reasons. However, if potheads won't even stand up and fight for themselves, then I have a hard time feeling sorry for them.

RLTW!!

On the Simpsons, medical pot was made 'legal'. Ned Flanders led a campaign to make it illegal again. The potheads held a rally to 'keep it legal'.

Problem was, they held the rally the day after the vote to decide if it was legal or not. Humor, to be funny, must have an element of truth. And this humor did.
