The reason why pot is still illegal is because pot smokers keep voting to elect politicians who support keeping marijuana illegal. A vote for a republican is a vote for prohibition. A vote for a democrat is a vote for prohibition.

The usual excuse pot smokers have for doing this is "we have bigger issues to worry about so we have to compromise."

Fine, you compromised, and because you compromised you are still considered a criminal in the eyes of those you voted for. You have no one to blame but yourself when you get busted and go to jail.
This is why I vote Libertarian! I usually vote for state and federal. I hardly vote local unless a Green or Libertarian is running. That way I won't be part of the problem.
