They are mad because they are being punished for breaking the law, when they know what they are doing is against the law, and if caught they will be punished. It is not judgemental in the least to point out the hypocrisy of that position.

there is a very legitimate argument for the use of medicinal marijuana that you are belittling with bullshit moot counterpoints like this.
The person I was addressing was carrying enough weed to be busted as a dealer, for the personal recreational use of them and several other people. They were not a medicinal user. I've also already stated that I don't think it should be illegal. Your point here has nothing whatsoever to do with anything I've said.

you are also speaking from a privileged perspective. talk about drugs in canada if you want, but it's just not fair for you to think you can compare a drug user's life in canada to a drug user's life in america. the real world just isn't as black-and-white as the law would lead you to believe.
I didn't say anything, ever, at any point, about anything that had to do with what country you live in. My point goes like this:
1/ It is against the law
2/ You knew it was against the law
3/ You did it anyway
4/ You got caught, and were punished according to the law
5/ Given 2/ and 3/ I have no sympathy for the fact that you knowingly broke the law and were punished accordingly

What does Canadianity or Americanity have to do with that reasoning in the slightest?
