Reason #6

I believe in full disclosure.  Yes, I’ve tried marijuana and I’ve inhaled.  Didn’t do a damn thing for me and haven’t even been willing to consider using any since high school.  However, that being said, I favor legalizing marijuana because it’s really no more harmful than other tobacco and, like other tobacco, we could then regulate quality and tax the bejeezus out of it.  Hooray for revenue streams!  ”

On the other hand, I do agree with those who say smokers should pay more for health insurance and be held more accountable for their choices.  You can choose to smoke but that doesn’t obligate me to fund your medical care for smoking-related disease processes.  Thanks!
