What worries me more is the criticism is ignored and the government does what it wants anyway.
IMO it wouldn't make much of a difference if these people voted. I'd bet that the composition of anti-drug/pro-drug individuals amongst the non-voters would be about the same as in the voting part of the population.joeofmusic said:The government is the people that vote. They are not to blame. The 163 million people that do not vote are the reason our country is like it is. It really is that easy. You can justify it however you want, but that is the only way anything will ever change. People actually have to use the tools that are sitting in front of them. It will happen eventually, I just hope that Americans do not have to go through the same things that Europeans have had to in order to see it.

Encourage critique of the mass media and government propaganda. Better yet, get involved in politics or support parties who vow to eliminate drug illegality (though covertly might be a better starting option for some places). If a select few can turn the masses against select drugs, then obviously a select few can do the opposite.
