I suppose I can say everybody who opposes legalization are close minded conservative dickbags who also oppose stem cell research and civil rights. Since we are making generalizations and all.

On a more serious note, not everybody who smokes pot is a "pothead". I will smoke every once in a while and I am most definitely not a "pothead." Do I think it should be legalized? Sure, I would like to have the choice to smoke if I so choose. Everybody should have that choice. It's not like its a drug like cocaine or meth where it ruins lives. If you don't like marijuana that's fine but that should be your own personal choice. Why should I not be allowed to do it if it's not harmful to myself or society? Sure it can possibly be harmful if somebody is under the influence while driving but that's no different from alcohol. Seems to me the side effects are much less than those of alcohol. So why is alcohol legal and marijuana isn't? Doesn't really make sense to me.
