Want legal or decriminalized pot? Stop voting for Drug Warrior candidates. As long as being tough on pot gets votes, and being soft on pot loses elections, we will get more and better Drug Warriors who will pass laws and appoint judges so that we get more Drug War.

If you want drug warriors, elect them at the state level and let them do it there. We need to get the federal government out of it. The abuse of the Commerce Clause is out of control, and we can't stop it we're complicit in it.

“We need to get the federal government out of it. “

Stop electing Federal Drug Warriors!

I’ll bet that all of the presidential candidates with the exception of the Libertarians and maybe Peace and Freedom would be Warriors, at least on paper.

And Senate candidates usually are, even Boxer and DiFi vote for tough laws.

When a candidate loses because of his tough stance on pot laws, the next dozen candidates will have changed their minds.

Bottom line is, we have the laws we have because a majority of Americans want it that way and support politicians who promise to keep it that way.

Otherwise they simply would not get elected.
