I don't really like either side of the "issue", truth be told.
One one side, you've got your PTA protective parents and "Above the Influence" assholes who think that weed is as bad as cocaine or heroin and that people who smoke pot are worthless hippies who will amount to exactly nothing.
On the other hand, however, you have those douchebag college-type hippies who are EXTREMELY well informed about marijuana and will not shut up about it when the subject comes up, and god help you if you turn down a joint because they'll go ON and ON about it.
Basically, I don't like the Above the Influence side and I don't like the side that can best be summed up as the episode of Family Guy where Brian legalizes marijuana.
My personal viewpoint is that I don't think that pot is extremely bad or anything, but i'm really not going to go out of my way to get it legalized. Like, I'll smoke it, but I won't go around with a clipboard trying to get signatures for a petition or anything like that.
