» Vote to Legalize Cannabis!
Making plants illegal is stupid.
More: prohibition makes criminals rich. More: enforcing a stupid, criminal-enriching law fills our jails with nonviolent offenders and wastes justice system resources while cannabis is easier to obtain and more potent and cheaper than ever. More: the unregulated cannabis market puts children at risk because dealers don’t check ID. More: cannabis prohibition forces the government to forgo a huge tax-and-tourism windfall.
Via WhyProhibition.ca: vote in the recent Conservative online “which issues are important?” poll to move anti-prohibition measures to the top of the list (when they asked it was “only” second or third).
Obviously online polls are easily manipulated and ignored, but voting won’t hurt the cause 
Here are the standings.

No sorry, “x is stupid because it is against common sense” is not a sound argument. (Maybe the cannabis lobby should put down their bongs for a bit?)
There is a sound argument that no goods should be illegal, but I am not convinced that cannabis is particularly worthy of being legalized.

“Common sense” was the standard that was used to decide that air flight wasn’t trespassing. You’re talking about philosophy, not law. And certainly not politics (though perhaps you’ve show me why I shouldn’t open with the stupidity argument as often as I do).
