Reply #16: I know logic is in short supply on the subject.

I can't explain it, I just think that most people, even when they say they support legalization, would feel differently if there was even a snowball's chance in hell of it happening.

We can't outlaw alcohol. That hasn't worked but outlawing pot has, if looked at objectively, worked because most people don't go to the trouble of obtaining it when they know it's illegal.

I don't see it as a 'civil war', just the inertia of having outlawed it and politicians not wanting to be the ones in favor of drug use.

I know, I know, alcohol is a drug. It doesn't make sense but there it is.
