I agree with everything you said here... and being very sceptical about any gov't control of our lives and the specific laws that "guide" us, I treat a product like MMJ the same way I did before it became mostly legal... I keep it on the "down low" just to be safe. That said, I'll never be so intimidated by a government law that I would avoid bartering something where I see no harm being done to anyone. They can pry some taxes out of me in hundreds of other ways.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
