Same here, and I too am for the legalization of marijuana. For one thing, I can't in good conscience believe in a different set of rules for marijuana and alcohol when, at best, alcohol is just as bad, and in reality is probably worse. And then, of course, there are all the other reasons stated in this thread.
timalkin: There are a lot of pieces of shit who smoke marijuana. And a lot of pieces of shit who don't. There are productive members of society who abstain, and productive members of society who partake. One of the greatest astronomers and public educators of modern times - Carl Sagan - was a frequent user of marijuana and even an advocate for its legalization. In fact, his wife serves on the Board of Directors of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
