But anyone who would vote against allowing adults to use cannabis--but who they themselves drink alcohol or smokes cigars or cigarettes--is a complete & utter hypocrite.

Uhhh, I don't think that alcohol, fast food and sugar are on the ballot. As for tobacco, it has all but been banned for public use.
Anyone that has children would want any assistance in making them the walking dead. Pot destroys motivation and slows the thought process. Sure, tell me how it never had any of that sort of effect on someone you know. Point is that everyone that has ever witnesses pot heads, also knows (if they are honest) that pot is not good for general, recreational use.
On the other hand, if society wishes to make it a civil offense, rather than a criminal offense, that's fine with me. Let the traffic court handle it, just like dui, reckless operation, etc. That is as far as I can morally compromise on this subject. I do NOT wish to see a generation of zombies.
