You really have a problem with citizens questioning the validity of certain laws and the state's appropriate use of force with respect to those laws, don't you?
No I have not problem with that. I think that there are better ways to do that than resisting arrest after the law is in effect. You don't like the potential law then vote in a way that prevents that law or move.
What is really funny is many of the people here that would bemoan the high tax on the cigs are the same people who are very anti war on drugs and support that with the idea that they should be legally sold and regulated and taxed thus making them profitable?

I don't disagree with this statement BTW.

I don't find this funny. Are the two concepts mutually exclusive?

It is a mistake and possibly simply misleading to think that the motivation for most people who are anti war on drugs is tax and revenue. It is only used as a talking point.
ETA: Rather than saying talking point, it is just one of many arguments. I doubt that it is prime motivation for many.
