But if we didn't change stupid, outdated, destructive or archaic laws, we'd still have women without the right to vote, blacks as 3/5 a person in the US, slavery etc...I'm sure there were more than a few people who wanted the status quo on those. Thankfully they were wrong. The amount of money that is pissed away annually to policing and imprison pot is absurd, and that doesn't even include the money that could be earned from legalization.

When people talk about "government waste", pot prohibition is one of the largest wastes there is. All that money spent, and pot use has not gone down in any significant manor. To reference Einstein in a pot discussion, if you spend billions over the years and get nothing about it, its insanity to keep spending billions more expecting different results.

Einstein never said it nor is it the definition of insanity.
