A LOT of people in this country smoke weed. I personally know a school principal and a senior VP at one of the biggest financial firms in the World (a 60-year old man) who smoke weed regularly. And they are GREAT at their jobs. They dont display ANY of the social characteristics that marijuana use supposedly gives you.
Now, I realize that's just two cherry-picked examples, but I have to admit I know a lot more people who have fucked up their lives because of alcohol than because of weed

I could agree with that. I have a friend who is very successful in the financial sector of business, and he smokes marijuana quite frequently. As his wife said, it doesn't bother her, because he doesn't let marijuana run his life. It's something fun he likes to do, like other people play video games.
I'm not against the heavily regulated legal distribution of marijuana. If it were regulated with a mixture of laws like what we see with cigarettes & alcohol, I would be quite happy to see it legalized. 18 years old, can't be smoked in public places (like bars), and only certain places can sell it.
