To the power elite we are workers and, more importantly, consumers.

Studies show that pot smokers are less loyal to the their employers than beer drinkers. They ask embarrassing questions at inopportune moments. They are less docile. Whether or not this is due to the fact pot is against the law is debatable, but, IMHO, it's more than that.

Pot smokers make shitty consumers as well. They're more likely to be content with their lot, fail to covet that new car and work themselves to death to get it.
Brutally true, this. And well said.
