You might be voting to "legalize it", but can you actually do it yourself?
That was the whole point with Larkens question, "Does someone who represents you have the right to do things that you don't?"
Can you legally do that as well, or is it only a privilege reserved for your "representatives"?
Jsteck, your "representatives" can exercise rights that you nor any individual has. Due to the belief in the myth of authority they can make rules without even the aproval of those that voted for them, let alone the consent of each individual it affects. And to make this worse these rules can be made regarding actions that cause no harm to others. Enforcement of which does cause harm through violence or threat thereof, and which is funded by theft, under threat of violence. By accepting and more so, by advocating this system by voting and willingly paying taxes, you fall under the category of amoral people that would have their will or that of their chosen masters forced upon other peaceful people. And as for the Muh Roads argument.... Private businesses actually build roads, and without govt extortion depleting the funds of all citizens, could be funded through VOLUNTARY contribution.

@jsteck what is it that gives you the right to give someone else permission to kidnapp someone for smoking a plant?

I vote for legalize it. But nice choice of words.
I cannot and neither can my representatives. The question was about rights that my representatives have that I do not.
