    There is a difference between “this law is stupid, we should get rid of it” and “this law is stupid. Therefore, I will just ignore this”

    Would I be happy if I could travel to other countries with a few spliffs in my purse? Absolutely!

    But I still check every single pocket thrice before I leave the country.

      True, pragmatism trumps idealism. I’m just so tired of having to be pragmatic in a world where the worst of us (politicians and corporations) get to follow their ideals.
