Feeling or even knowing that a law is unjust is no reason not to live up to the consequences of breaking it. Civil disobedience is at its best when those who break the law are willing to pay with their time or money or even their lives. Possibly the best modern American example of this would be Dr. King who did not try to avoid the consequences of his actions, nor, did he whine while he was in jail.
Legalize pot but don't allow the government to grow through its regulation.
