At least he supports decriminalization. That's a much higher priority than legalization.
Not really. That's like saying "civil unions are a much higher priority than same-sex marriage."
Bad analogy. Although I do support it, marijuana legalization is not a civil rights issue. Priority number one should be stopping hundreds of thousands of kids/nonviolent offenders from being thrown into jail for smoking pot.
Civil unions are long obsolete because of opinions on gay marriage, and opinions on pot seem to be changing faster than gay marriage.
Which is incredibly sad, if put into objective priorities.
