Most likely, most are simply afraid.

I've been thinking recently about the alcohol prohibition... its kinda funny actually. Alcohol makes people dumb and violent, and the alcohol prohibition was ended BECAUSE of dumb violence (well, one of the major factors anyways, I'm sure there were others.) I just wonder if the government realized that the reason they ended it was because of the same reason they started it (because alcohol makes people violent.)

So, on the other hand, BECAUSE all us pot smokers are laid-back and generally don't give a fck when we're :stoned:, we don't do anything violent and the government figures that it must be working.

Ironic, unfortunately...

Alcohol, legal because people kill for it.
Weed, illegal because people don't.
(Now if I could only shorten into a slogan form...)

Hmm... s'pose I got a bit off topic... but I guess mainly just cause marijuana makes you want to NOT resist, hence our not resisting
