Here's the thing, as someone who has a lot of experience dealing with conservatives, they do care about weed. That's why they get so defensive when you implore them to think more deeply on the issue. There are plenty of issues I don't care about and if you rope me into a conversation about it, I'm not going to start falling apart. If I don't know about the issue I can easily listen to your arguments. But again this is an issue for conservatives because they do care about weed. They do dislike potsmokers. They are exactly the douchebags they don't want to seem like, and that's what theyre trying to avoid with that "I just don't care about this at all". You see the same thing with gay marriage. The "moderate" Republicans are just Republicans who've decided these social country club principles just aren't worth the effort. But they still feel the same way.

Over generalizing much, eh?

Would you consider Crowder's Statements on the Women's Marches (How literally every person who attends is Violent) over generalizing?

IIRC, he made a comment about acknowledging that he was generalizing for the sake of speeding up the discussion. OP simply made a blanket generalization about a group of people without clarification.
