I don't really think marijuana legalization is necessary, those who want to smoke have plenty alternatives to get a legal high, one of them is International Oddities, there are legal weed shops or legal herbs to smoke, why is marijuana that important after all?

In a room with the window shades pulled tight, the doors locked, and the wallets emptied.

Sorry. Couldn't resist. Also, I strongly recommend you find something else to occasionally do. Seriously. I've known many educated professionals who liked to occasionally snort blow. I can think of none who can say, “And then I decided to try coke and it was a great decision.” I can think of many who can say, “And that's when I lost my job” or “packing up and moving to Florida at 2 a.m. seemed like a good idea” or “I'll never meet another like her,” etc, etc. It's a very insidious substance.

I don't smoke pot. It makes me nervous. I'm a short haired, well-educated knowledge worker. I'm kind to children and animals. I'm socially engaged and donate to charity. I occasionally like to do cocaine with my friends. Where do I start my movement?

Actually quite often when mature, educated professionals choose to smoke, they choose high quality herb and not Mexican schwag. Like when you choose to drink wine… I doubt you're drinking Nightrain or any other two dollar bottle of MD 20/20

I think there would be an age limit, but I don't think that would work as it doesn't work well with alcohol and tobacco.

And I think we should address underlying causes, but legalisation won't do that. Rehabilitation and education might do that, but legalisation should only come after these things and not before, as if it comes before it will only exacerbate these problems.

They would never say “I still smoke pot, and I like it”.

Agreed. The worst thing about marijuana is stupid stoner culture. Tie-dye and being lazy aren't going to convince anyone to change the drug laws. It helps to have more educated, ambitious, “square” folks like yourself being open about their recreational chemical choices.

If you use drugs, then you are not loyal to the establishment and its norms. You are prevented from getting into high positions.
Just like Clinton, Bush & Obama.
