    It’s a problem I ran into on reddit a lot, people get so hung up on “the way it SHOULD work” vs. the “the way it DOES or WILL work.” LOL.

    I remember a thread where a guy got sent to prison for life under a three strikes rule and reddit was up in arms because the 3rd strike was for some felony weed possession.

    I got downvoted for telling them “Hey, if you live in a 3 strikes state, and you already have 2 felony convictions, you have 2 choices: a) STOP COMMITTING FELONIES or b) GTFO out of Dodge and get to a state WITHOUT a three strikes rule.”

    Kept having to explain that the law doesn’t care if you think making weed illegal is a moral issue. In that state it’s illegal. Don’t LIKE it? Change it or move to another state.
