In fact, they have nothing but contempt for all of us! In essence, they are saying: * "We will smoke on the beach and force others to breathe our pollution, despite the law that is supposed to protect people from second-hand smoke. * "We will open pot shops wherever we want and especially near elementary schools and community centres because that's where our future customers are." * "We don't need a business license to sell our weed; licences are for suckers." * "We will continue selling pot, even if the city tries to close us down for breaking all their toothless laws." They are demonstrating the worst selfish, narcissistic stoner stereotype and calling it "advocacy." A law that isn't enforced is as ineffective as no law at all.
