I think this is most appropriately posted here.

I have a problem with the majority of groups that are working towards decriminalization/legalization because of the people that run them and/or make up the members. For example the SSDP (Students for Sensible Drug Policy) at OSU is run by someone who is clearly a huge smoker. Most of the members are open about smoking. I have no problem with this, but it seems these people lack the inability to keep their hobbies separate from their groups. SSDP here is very open about smoking before/after events, and when I see them form marches they are both to small in nature to be effective and extremely unprofessional looking.

Going to marches or other gatherings blitzed out of your mind dressed like a hippie isn't going to accomplish anything. I think the thought process behind it is "Well we'll show people we can be high and hippie-ish but still be peaceful and reasonable citizens." This may work on the rare occasion (see the news releases about this past 4/20 in CO with a turn out of 10,000 smokers with no arrests), but to the average person it's just more reason to NOT support legalization.

Is it really that hard to stay sober for a few hours a day? Can't people, for once, treat these things professionally? As much as it may pain you, you DO have to put on a front to accomplish some things in life, and this is certainly one. All I ask is people be professional, and sober, when in the public eye. Unless, of course, you don't actually want to accomplish anything, you just want to have fun and act like you're trying to instigate change to look cool.



I agree, i just outlined a similar objection here.
