while i support people being able to grow pot to smoke, i don't understand how people condemn tobacco smoking and advocate marijuana smoking.

For one, you don't have to smoke pot to imbibe. There are edibles, as well as vaping.

Also, even if you do smoke it, most likely you smoke a lot less of it than you did/do/would tobacco cigarettes.
 
Legalize it.
Retroactively eliminate convictions for recreational use of it, at the very least.

I support each state legalizing it and the federal government to remove itself from it's unconstitutional regulation of it. When the federal government wanted to make a substance (alcohol) illegal in the past they actually had to make an amendment to grant themselves the authority to do it. Then they had to pass another one to make it legal again. I'm not sure how we got to the federal government being involved here.
 
Marijuana is only illegal because the government doesn't want inspired people to start appearing. These people start questioning everything and it's incredibly virulent.
 
I don't know why Americans can't ever learn their lessons from the past. Prohibition was a boondogle, and it still is with marijuana.

I don't wanna use it. I've tried it and didn't care for it. It made me stupid and sleepy. But if someone else wants to do it, why should I care? I like to always err on the side of personal liberty, and the government has no business putting a citizen in a cage for smoking a plant while sitting on his couch watching SouthPark.

It's been almost 30 years since I last partook, and while I enjoyed it, if it were made legal I would have absolutely zero desire to do it again. It's part of my past and I'm ok with that. I do favor legalization, however, I just wouldn't do it.

I liked Ron Paul's big moment in the debate when they were trying to hammer him on legalization of heroin. He said, Who in the audience is going to go pick up a heroin habit if it's made legal? I bet no one!

Drug use should be a medical issue, not a criminal issue.
