Although I'd probably move to another location because that's just not cool imo.

It's not silly at all. Cannabis use is a victimless crime as it stands, whereas rape is not, which is the clear line between what ought to be illegal (protecting freedoms) and what ought not to be covered (what a person does to him or herself). But apparently you're adding a 3rd party, which is 'whatever the majority says goes'. Here's a newsflash: bowing to the wishes of the majority if it means discriminating against a minority is something people have been fighting against since the enlightenment. It's shitty views like yours which gave us such awesomeness as the holocaust, slavery, general racism, and religious persecution.

You'd have to demonstrate why, somehow, cannabis is a special case in order for you to actually believe that 51% of people should be able to tell 49% what they put in their own bodies (or even 99% and 1%, it doesn't matter).

Apparently you haven't been paying very close attention to my posts here.

I generally do think that all of those things are pretty awesome.
