marijuana legalization is a conservative cause! Conservatism believes in keeping things as they are. Change is a Liberal idea. In this case a Libertarian one.

What's interesting to me is that politicians on both sides are downright AFRAID of the issue. I saw former Drug Czar assistant (or something) from the Obama administration on CNN last night talking about how it was a mistake. The GOP, early on, was touting as a presidential candidate this time a man who was arrested with a shoebox full of pot in his dorm room as a student. He walked with a minor charge at the time, when most people would have landed in prison or at least received a felony charge. Of course, he opposes legalization today. Right.
