It is an issue that involves personal freedom, the environment, the economy. We are spending billions enforcing prohibition and losing unearned billions forbidding a hemp industry. We are still destroying trees for paper products and soil for cotton. Thousands of years and dreams vacuumed up into a prison system that uses prisoners as slave labor. Pharmaceutical and energy companies use toxic chemicals and methodologies to substitute for what pot and hemp can do.
So when you laugh and accuse anti-prohibitionists of being "Waahhhh! I want to get high!" single issue voters, you are certainly uninformed and the scope of your thinking on the matter is limited.
The issue of marijuana and its corollary concerns cuts to the heart of America, freedom, and intelligent policy.
