I say one step at a time. Legalization laws is better than criminalizing laws. But you're right that we don't want a bandage over the wound. We want less laws, taxes, regulations, involvement, etc.

Local Government

People need to understand the tenth amendment which is all about returning the power back to we the people and away from federal government. People must always limit federal government and have city and county governments decide on specific laws that they may want to have for their local communities if any. We are all educators and we all must encourage people to favor localized governments over federal and global styled rule, tyranny, authoritarianism, globalism, technocracy, etc.
