No, but there are things to do about laws you feel are unjust. Breaking them anyway, on purpose, and then bitching about the consequences that you knew going in isn't one of the things you can do that will get you any sympathy from me.

I don't think marijuana should be illegal either, but I have no sympathy for people who get caught breaking the law and get punished.

I'm gonna throw out the old fashioned why Is drinking and smoke cigs legal, what great system is protecting us from that?

Doesn't matter that those are legal any more than "But there are murderers out there!" is an actual defense against getting caught speeding in your car. Their legality doesn't have the first thing to do with pot's illegality, or the punishments you faced for having it.

Also it is definitely possible to get clean herb that hasn't been sprayed with chemicals every single time that is healthier for you then fast food. If it were legal it would be even easier because it would be more of a standard to not spray everything down because you have to grow in some hidden insect infested space.

So? I wasn't talking about whether pot was healthy or not, just whether it's legal or not.

if they have died it is because it is illegal so gangs use it and police officers are trigger happy.

And nobody is ever exploited, hurt, killed or otherwise suffers negative consequences because of the illegal trade in an illegal substance, even outside the general violence accompanying anything gangs do.

Only do legal things. You'll have LOADS of fun...

If you can't have fun without breaking the law, you should be put in an institution before you cause irreparable harm to yourself and those around you.
