Thank you and very true. I'll check out that post.

Some places are more accepting than others for sure. The coasts seem to be leading the charge for the most part. Even in the deep red states there is pretty high support for it though (in the public, at least). I think this way of framing the argument is helpful because it appeals to a lot of (politically) different kinds of people. The personal freedom angle seems to do well with the libertarian types, the consent and choice side of it is popular with the people who are very concerned with social justice issues, and so on.

I used to work a few different sales jobs when I was younger and I found that changing the way you sell a thing based on who you are selling it to is very effective at winning over difficult customers. I try to apply that same principal when I argue for legalization and drug law reform. We all know that the drug war has something for everyone to hate. The trick is showing the right person the right thing but if we do that, there is a good chance of bringing them to the right side of this issue.

No worries about babbling, I do the same thing all the time.

Thank you for the resteem, I really appreciate it.
