Alcohol is legal. Couldn't you all just wait and drink until pot is legal?

That's what we're trying to change...an unjust law prohibiting something that people want.
That is a problem too. Following laws, just because they're laws. No matter how draconian they are. You're inadvertently teaching them to be good little drones, good little followers. Is that what you want them to be? Or would you rather they question and decide for themselves what is right/good for them.
Alcohol was illegal. It was grass roots efforts like what is happening now with marijuana that changed the law. Just because it's a law, doesn't mean it's a good or just law.
Nothing personal Gracie, as always, I'm just trying to give others another way to look at things. I don't have all the answers either. Far from it.
