Your logic makes no sense. Just because YOU don't think it should be illegal doesn't change the fact that it is and that you're going to be a member of the bar.Anonymous User wrote:I thought I was pretty explicit in saying that I didn't want to get into this kind of conversation, but I'll bite: the short answer is "no".eandy wrote:Does the hypocrisy of working for the AG and doing illegal drugs not bother you?
The long answer is (in part) "No because:
1. Marijuana is decriminalized in MA, so even assuming I considered marijuana to be worthy of being wholesale illegal, I would be about as concerned with any innate hypocrisy as I currently feel for my past speeding / parking tickets as I do for smoking marijuana in the past and present.
2. "One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." - MLK; IMO there is no justification for marijuana to be "illegal" and the argument for it to be a fineable offense is fairly weak."
I think I should be able to drive as fast as I want, make sports bets with a bookie, and punch someone who offends me without criminal penalty. Should I just be able to do that stuff, too?
