I'd say people who believe the government . . . about anything . . . are dolts.

I believe it stays illegal cuz the majority of people still don't like it. It's that simple. It's a very basic prejudice. They drink alcohol. Pretty much everyone they know drinks alcohol. Therefore they see all the reasons alcohol should stay legal.

They don't smoke pot. They don't like pot. They don't want their kids to smoke pot. Therefore it should be illegal. That's the reasoning. Pure, simple, oldest rule there is. "People shouldn't do things that are too different from what I do". And then they pass laws against it. Same reason it was once illegal to be gay.
