It's hard to believe how anti civil liberties a lot of adult webmasters are.

If the argument is that marijuana is harmful to the individual, and that there's a risk of illness/death, and therefore it should be illegal... well, first, you'd be wrong. But second, isn't there an innate risk in having sex with people? Particularly strangers? Isn't that how we make our money? The idea is that we're all consenting adults, capable of making our own decisions. If you want to educate people on the risks of drug use, fine, but incarceration is something entirely different.

If the argument is that marijuana is harmful to others... well, many would argue that porn is harmful to others. Again, I'd disagree, but as long as we keep both porn and pot within our own homes, no harm is done, correct? I won't smoke pot and drive, and likewise I won't jerk off and drive!

If the argument is that marijuana is harmless, but that the law should still be respected... well, isn't obscenity illegal? If you feel that strongly about staying well within the boundaries of established law, aren't you in a gray area by being in this industry?

I don't understand how you can press for marijuana criminalization as an adult webmaster and not be a bit hypocritical.

Although, for the record, I do respect both sides of this debate, even if I strongly disagree with one of them.
