How are you going to get conservatives to vote yes for this? Uphold the freedom of everybody being able to toke just because? Or tell them that you're inventing a new tax stream that will help pay for things instead of raising their taxes? Which do you think non-smoking conservatives will more likely support?
True conservatives are supposed to stand for no government interference(including no new taxes) in our personal lives. Its the neo conservatives who all of a sudden want to not believe in those fundamental issues.
So a true conservative should be approached with your reason #1. A Bush-Tea Party conservative-when-it-serves-me should be approached with your reason #2. So it depends, is the conservative you are attempt to sway the vote of a Libertarian or a Right winger? That answer will determine how best to approach the conservative.
Its not always a black or white situation.
