Wow. Speaking as one who probably wouldn't use marijuana even if it were legal I have to say I agree with every damn line of that rant.

When will this anti-pot craziness end? When can we start spending law-enforcement resources on actual law enforcement and stop creating victims of victimless crimes?

That kind of writing is not only inspired but beautiful in its honesty and persuasiveness.
