And even if you don't care that the system is set up to seemingly punish people of low socio-economic status and really do think that people who smoke pot are all layabout hippie losers contributing nothing (which is flagrantly incorrect but whatever), there's STILL good reason to support legalization. Consider the delicious tax revenue the government could obtain by making people do it their way instead of risky black market methods.

It worked with alcohol - some people still see it as a vice but no one in their right minds will be legislating against it, because it brings in money and we've tried that before. And we are currently trying to undo it with marijuana. Just wait and watch the crime rates in CO and WA drop precipitously, while the government spends less money embroiled in absurd legal battles and on the cost associated with jailing low-risk drug offenders for years.

There are so many logical reasons to do this beyond simply "people like it so what's the problem!" There's no good angle to oppose it at this point.
