Go ahead smoke pot if you want to, don’t smoke it if you don’t want to; but don't legislate morality.
Legalize, regulate and tax the hell out of it  |
Ok let me clarify, no one who is excited about the legalization because they can use it now without fear of 'the man'.
BTW taxing the hell out of it will just make a black market for it. I think the huge tax was added to HELP pass it, so that non users who dont' give a shit either way will think 'well some good can come of it'. The tax itself will make it harder to regulate.

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.
