My problem has always been with illegal use and thinking it's ok because it's just pot.
If it's grown by you or your neighbor, I don't give a shiet.
When people have been using something for years that has been smuggled in, I have a problem with it and them.
Well, I can respect that, but you need to understand the legal realities.
Oregon doesn't really smuggle weed IN; we smuggle it OUT, or at least that was how things used to be. But for most pot users, the legal exposure for buying/possessing say 1/4 oz of smuggled weed is minimal. On the other hand, the legal exposure for growing can be massive, up to and including losing your home to (horrible) forfeiture laws, or losing your kids. So the laws ENCOURAGE smuggling.
If you want what you say you want, support legalization when it comes up in your state. Then your neighbor can grow it, there won't be any smuggling, and you can not give a scheit about it, which is actually a very reasonable position to take.
