I've seen it add to the downfall of a lot of kids when I was in college, but oddly I didn't see much of it in dental school or beyond, and we had some pretty wild parties. The one student who was into it dropped out.
So make it legal, I don't really care, but to me it won't be anything but a drug for losers. I suppose it might work for artists, but they need a whole different skill set.

I'm in a Ph.D. program at a top ranked University (4th ranked in my program in the nation). I smoke pot (recreationaly, no more than once a week) and favor legalization. I would be very excited if this passed in my state, both because I think its stupid public policy to spend billions enforcing anti-pot laws and becasue I'm sick of having to hide my stash.
Good to meet you Ustwo.
Frankly, I think one of the biggest barriers to legalization is that most sucessful, with-it, "winners at life" who also smoke pot can't come forward and say it. I'll say it in the relative anonymity of the internet, but I wouldn't in most public situations with my name attached. If I had a normal desk job in most corporate or government environments I probably wouldn't even say it here.
