I support the unbanning of marijuana. But the more I see the kind of people who smoke marijuana, the less I support it being unbanned. Currently most (if not all) people who smoke marijuana are undesirables and degenerates of society.

Big government, yeah! A nanny state to tell you what to smoke, what to eat, and what to watch.

Determining whether a drug should be legalized should not be based on the 'kind' of people who use it.

[whether you like them or not is irrelevant]

Would someone who graduated from a prestigious engineering school with a 3.9 GPA be considered an undesireable and degenerate of society? Or would that only be the case if you knew he smoked pot 3-7 times a week for all four school years? Ever considered posting something supportable by fact?

Can you explain? Do you have any sort of statistics to back up this assertation, or is this purely based on your sole observations of a limited segment of the population? Quite a varied number of people use marijuana.

Plenty of 'normal people' have or do smoke marijuana, yet I find it ironic that society seems it a 'deviant activity' only stoners partake in. Talk about the hypocrisy. Making it illegal hasn't really stopped those who want to smoke it smoke it has it?

If the marijuana lobby was as $$$-strong as the alcohol, tobacco, and Big Pharma lobbies it'd be legalized in a heartbeat.

I don't think you've seen a full cross section of the ones that do smoke it.

For example, many pot smokers would never start a sentence with "but".
