On the other hand, the people wanting marijuana leaglized are going around baked all of the time.

Ah to be young and naive. The people doing the most to get marijuana legalized are people who are fighting cancer, HIV, glaucoma, and other serious diseases who would like to be able to survive chemo and keep their food down. And "they" still don't care. Former Attorney General Ashcroft had a special hard-on for prosecuting sick old people, but I haven't noticed Gonzales calling off the dogs and telling federal prosecutors to leave the growing clubs or users alone.

I don't think you're going to get far by presuming that online poker is a more acceptable cause than marijuana. I would argue that there is a much larger group of people sympathetic to the marijuana user, especially the older user with a medical condition.

There is nothing to be gained by divide and conquer or an attitude of "my online poker is better than your dirty drugs." Like it or not, both are considered to be vices by the American Taliban that wants total control of our lives.
