Your vision of a typical pot smoker today is nothing like what they are. The 60s days are over. You need to get over it. I am in college and just came out of high school less than 3 years ago. Your typical pot smoker today is nothing like a hippie. Not even close Yeah right, anyway, the modern drug culture got it's start in the 60's by radical leftists and we have been dealing with that scrouge ever since. You can deny reality all you want, but it doesn't change a thing. I guess the next thing you are going to tell me is that academia is not a hot bed of leftism, since so many things have changed since the 60's.
Academia is a hot bed of leftism. And you are wrong on the pot heads. Being a 'hippie' is not 'cool' at all anymore. They pretty much get laughed all over town. Next time you go into church, look at your church youth group. That's your current generation of pot heads. Oh they keep it hidden well from their parents, but a large portion are doing it (and no I'm not implying that only church-going kids are potheads).
And like I said, it still doesn't matter, that's not a reason to keep it illegal, especially as a felony.
