[QUOTE=dksuddeth;2773222]no it's not. you're 'asking' the government for 'permission' to grow, buy, and sell marijuana. A naturally occurring plant. Why do you let them have that kind of power?[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]

Because the govt has the power to pass laws and enforce them and you either except that, work to change the law...or what? Start a revolution? A vote in California is a great place to start changing marijuana laws in this country, if you agree that those laws need to be overturned or changed what other avenue would suggest people taking?

Simply ignoring the govt's power is what people are doing now and its resulted in a black hole of spending and otherwise law abiding citizens being prosecuted and doing jail time. How is that better then working to change the laws?
