I'm all for it.
But i heard a lady on my bus say she has a son who works in Seattle and he hates it because there are people who just stare at green lights. And he being from Chicago, they look at him as less lazy. That being said, I never will smoke, but it seems my job prospects are higher in those areas. I'm not against pot. Whatever you put in your body is your choice. That goes for any substance.
I just think it's a little messed up that people are spending time in jail over marijuana when murderers get less time. I agree with @Phoenix that the War on Drugs is big here. I know a buddy that holds a medical marijuana license for Illinois which even though it's legal is still very taboo.
I'm all for it being legal, but I'm not for people stopping staring at green lights.
