One must go deeper and find that it was simply an outspoken idea that triggered its legalization.

An idea that was marketed to the people in the same fashion that the anti-drug crusaders enacted & maintain the ban.

Not true. Legalization passed in the states it has because of pro-weed ad campaigns.



Exactly, virtually all funded for and carried out by large corporations and their lobbyists.

uh, all lobbying is, is people to trying to influence the government.  Do you think the (mostly rich) people would lobby for it if people still thought 'reefer madness' was a depiction of the truth?  The lobbying was just a reflection of the swaying of public opinion.  Ideas are infections.  Perception is reality, so the first step to having a  pot-positive society is the promotion of our ideals concerning it.

Yes, OP isn't able to go out directly lobby the law unless he's a multi-millionaire, but if he can make his community a little more accepting of pot he has made a difference.  Who knows?  It might end up being the difference if there is an election in his state in 2 years.

"lsdkiwi ignored every person that gave him advice that conflicted with what he wanted to hear.
He's the type of person who blames all his problems on others, and refuses to accept any sort of responsibility for things that take place in his life. This thread was a complete waste of time."

"They hate us 'cause they ain't us" - Kim Jong Un

One day we'll look back on these times and wonder how people could have been so discriminatory against pot smokers during the prohibition era.  This is a fight for the right to explore altered consciousness at will for both spiritual and recreational purposes.
