I have no problem legalizing it, under certain circumstances.
I’m not a pot smoker – but watched my brother use it while going through chemo. It worked to help manage the pain and *almost* gave him an appetite. (Chemo is really nasty.) He was conflicted about using it, despite the fact that he was obtaining it legally, for a legitimate purpose. But it did help, in his situation, during his final months.
I look at it as similar to tobacco and booze. Both can be really bad for you. Misuse can cause harm not just to the user but to those around the user. Yet ciggy’s and booze are legal. How is pot, different?
If it increases tax revenue, I look at that as an upside.
