Imagine if cannabis had been legal forever but the Gov't was about to legalize booze. Alcohol and tobacco are both far worse than pot, but both are legal to use and produce your own. It is wrong and hypocritical that otherwise law abiding citizens can get saddled with a criminal record for using and gardening a medicinal herb that has been around for thousands of years. The big pharma crap that doctors push cause thousands of deaths a year, no one has ever OD-ed from cannabis.
