Pot Criminalization: Up in Smoke?

[HairOfTheDog]

The state will never know if they keep it in the government sector and refuse to let the people have a voice.

It's a damn shame people are so fucking complacent.

Typically, I sense that you're a Constitutionalist. But, on some matters you seem to support more of democratic than republic system. You want the electoral college done away with and direct population vote on some (or all?) Federal and State legislation, right? The framers of the Constitution are essentially noted as saying that the general public is not qualified to make wise decisions on their own.

Anyway, I don't think the marijuana possession issue is a big enough concern for the majority of voters to petition outside of their elected officials, but another issue that affected a great number of people more directly might.
