Why don't you use the same logic for other illegal things?

Rape

By not doing something that has been made illegal. Regardless if you disagree with something being illegal, doesn't mean you should do it anyway.
Or, a ruling class can take something that a large percentage of a targeted population is harmlessly participating in, and make it illegal, conveniently creating criminals and a criminal population out of thin air!

For example?
Is it because they're illegal?

How is it an unjust law?
If you can convince me that the issue of cannabis being illegal is wrong, I'll quite happily leave the thread with an apology.

I'm sorry, but that's rediculous.
You're talking about morality, not laws.

Lack of a victim?!
How about the dope heads that use their kids food money for their next spliff?
How about the guy who robs a granny to get his next one?
This victimless thing isn't always true.

So she wants to avoid legalizing because.... what?
I'm sorry, driving under the influence is still a crime. Only difference is the perp was committing two crimes at once, one of which is harmless (and hopefully soon legal) while the other is already a huge deal in this country with alcohol.
Shameful.
Fatal road crashes involving marijuana double after state legalizes drug
Foundation research also shows that legal limits for marijuana and driving are meaningless

Summary:
Fatal crashes involving drivers who recently used marijuana doubled in Washington after the state legalized the drug, according to the latest research. New research also shows that legal limits for marijuana and driving are arbitrary and unsupported by science, which could result in unsafe motorists going free and others being wrongfully convicted for impaired driving.
