I cannot bring myself to support legalizing it. Too many downsides.

… yes, I have tried it (many years ago).
… yes, I have tried it recently (chemo).

The stuff from 35 years ago is different from the stuff today. It will flat make you outright stupid and useless.

You can argue that you want a beer or a glass of wine “to be sociable”, but the only argument for pot is to get stoned. Its the whole point.

I see your point. However, people can be stupid and useless without any artificial means. Plenty of people I know smoke pot and still lead productive, happy, eventful lives.

Look at the Prohibition. It brought about a surge in organized crime. The Mafia enjoyed a heyday, back then. What, if not Prohibition v 2.0, in relation to pot, do we see now?
