It's amazing what a little calm reasoning can do, isn't it? I happened on two guys who were arguing about it just as they walked up to me. One for, one not persuaded.

The guy for it just said "C'mon and tell him why he should vote yes!"

I said "Who runs the marijuana market, now? Gangsters, of course, and they don't pay taxes and they'll sell it to anybody, even kids."

"Remember prohibition? (I filled him in, with Al Capone: Violence, turf wars, the 28,000+ dead in Mexico)."

You know the rest. I think I convinced him, and it's that sort of thing that means we've still got a chance.
