The time has come to correct an imbalance in the law. An injustice, if you will. For far too long, something that ranges from benign to beneficial has been vilified, while a true scourge is tolerated.
Can we condone the cockroach continuing its corrupt crepuscular conniving? May we mandate more mistreatment of mellow marijuana mavens?

No! We must no longer punish tokers atwitter, while giving a pass to vermin that skitter! It is long past time for us to declare our vision for a new, more just society: Roaches, not roaches!!

Background

Marijuana was first criminalized in 800 AD by Charlemagne, who strove to outlaw all intoxicating substances besides sacramental wine. In the New World, marijuana was a casualty of efforts to supplant native religions, some of which used the drug ritually, as these religions didn't have tithing or collection plates, thus they were deemed hostile to free market philosophy.

The history of cockroaches is long and sordid. A low point was reached in the European middle ages, when the creatures spread the black death from town to town (formerly thought to be the work of fleas and rats). Cockroaches also conducted a successful whisper campaign with sleeping physicists, which resulted in the development of the atomic bomb, a weapon that would select for cockroaches to become Earth's dominant species. Their negative effect on human history cannot be understated.
