...with this quote from the article: "...which means getting people to advocate for legalization who aren’t the typical pro-pot activists..."

I've often thought that if I could have gotten all my pot smoking doctor and lawyer friends to attend the Legalization Festivals that used to be everywhere, we could have had this behind us. But.....the word of the day was and apparently still is "self-protection".

The response to this should be an all out propaganda campaign that includes and celebrates cannabis use in all walks of life.

To be honest, I think the War on Pot is driven by the pharmaceutical industry. They are already in complete control of your health business and cannabis throws a major wrench into their business model. Their lobbyists tell the politicians "...legalization would be as bad as the Bank Failures...".
