Well we probably agree that the gmt doesn't need to be empowered to try and prevent weed from being smoked anymmore than it needs to be empowered to overtly control prostitution. Prostitution is not a good thing and should not be promoted, but it is not something that can be stopped with a few billion dollars worth of cops either.
Weed is not really a good thing though it smells great at concerts. I don't want to see it promoted on TV commercials but I don't want to see billions spent to try and micro-manage everyone's weekend hours either. I could probably ax my neighbor for a j tonight and get one without much worry about repercussion. Ditto if I wanted a ho. We are not really that without liberty, and maybe the very slight risk makes it a little more fun.
You want risk, marry a woman who opposes your activities---don't impose your need for risk on the rest of us.
Hey, I'm an upper-middle class white dude and could probably get away with it, too...however, the Arbitrary Application of Justice makes a mockery of our legal system, doesn't it?! Why should some young ghetto lad get time in the pokey when you and I don't?! Isn't that one of the African-Americans' biggest beefs? If a law ain't seious enuff for everyone to get busted for it, my opinion is that it should be eliminated so that no one gets busted for it!!

Come now. If enforcement as loose as you claim it is, what's the point of enforcement at all? Why all the sturm undt drang coming from the White House about pot? Why, in the grand scheme of things, should a pot smoker risk the loss of his liberty and property for smoking grass?
