Not pro-pot. Pro-rights, anti-excessive-taxation. Don’t like the consequences of legalization, but the consequences of prohibition are much worse. Dopers still have no trouble getting dope, but I have to be treated “guilty until proven innocent” in a host of non-dope-related normal activities (transferring nontrivial cash, buying Sudafed, etc), I have to pay high taxes for the ineffectual cause of dope prohibition, and innocent lives are destroyed by the inevitable mistakes & collateral damage of stopping those who won’t be stopped.

If dope prohibition worked, great do it. But it doesn’t, and allowance is not as bad as prohibition.

Sometimes ya gotta pick the lesser of two evils. Choosing the greater evil because the lesser evil is evil is stupid.

I am more worried about the slippery slope. Pot really does nothing but create a pot head that at worst is a drain on its parents or us in our current society.

But where do we stop because the same arguments can be made for more dangerous drugs and they will be.
