Voluntary Association

If my statist, law-enforcement neighbor can raise a teenager in a major metropolitan city-state, I think that he will become a friend to the liberty movement in terms of reluctance to enforce bad laws. In his system, this is a constitutional imperative. I have no reservations assuming this teenager I have watched grow for a few years has experienced marijuana, and that the father is quite aware of the situation, even when he wonders if that familiar smell coming from somewhere close might be from his child or his comrade. Maybe this is the seed we are meant to plant for the future, an investment, driving society forward without violence or coercion, but collectively and above all, voluntarily. That investment will pay returns sufficient in both monetary and morality realms. If ending prohibition is not at least a step in nullification in a collective manner, then why bother, for if we can make this work in a mutually beneficial way, should we not at least try?
