This sort of whining makes me think about going from neutral, to opposed when it comes to legalization. We all had this idea that it would be treated more like alcohol, but I guess they're treating it like tobacco. Given that smoking is a common method of using pot, and is just as obnoxious as tobacco smoke, I can see the logic.
I also understand why those who see it as harmless are up in arms about this, but what they seem to be ignoring is that they have almost won the war on legalisation. Once this goes through, while there will be some more battles ahead, they will be rearguard actions to try and limit how widespread pot use becomes, but recreational pot will be legal.
If they piss off enough people, the regime that is brought in could be way more restrictive than the average user would like, and they'll continue to run afoul of the law. If that happens, not only will they continue to be hassled by the man, they'll lose the support of the public, because there would be legal means for them to get their high.
For any marijuana users out there still capable of thinking ahead, convince your fellow potheads to calm their tits. If you want pot to be freely available, get behind the LPC's proposal, and support it enthusiastically, while also putting forward the amendments you want. The more you bash it, the more you'll lose popular support, and lose this war that you have almost won. @pressfortruth
