  > Some State initiatives to put MJ on the ballot were successful, and did not involve State legislature nor involve staking an extreme position. You’re right the legislature and ballot initiatives did not take extreme positions, but those were brought forth by political groups that took the position of legalizing cannabis for adults full-stop. They’ve made incremental progress by supporting broadly acceptable and reasonable legislation towards those goals, but they made concessions to win broad support. I don’t see how the Sierra Club is different. That said, I would like to see our political debates and process lose the gamesmanship.

    To be similar, Sierra Club could take their idea and collect signatures to petition it on to ballot. Instead they are taking an extreme position which would garner few signatures.
