Why go through the charade, Sheriff?
Because he has to appeal to the NO voters. Being for legalization is political suicide. There are lots of old folks, religious nuts, and soccer moms out there who still buy the Reefer Madness depiction of marihuana. They must be appeased.

When I canvass in support of the prop, most people around here who are against it are churchgoers, moms and old ladies. Others say they don't smoke it, as if that was reason enough to vote no. Most people are either for it, or are undecided, but politely take a flyer.
