My stance is the govt shouldn't be legalising another harmful product.

And you would like people to stop smoking it because it might have an effect on the value of your health-care dollar?

People are free to smoke or abuse their body in anyway they see fit.
I'd also like people to take responsibility for their health when they willing choose to abuse their bodies.

And when given the choice between legalization/regulation/taxation and the black market you've picked option C) nobody is allowed to smoke pot anymore. Also, adults are allowed to choose what they may ingest in the privacy of their own homes so long as their choices don't have a negative impact on their health, which might then have an impact on your health-care dollar.
Lastly, you have no sympathy for anyone who does anything illegal because they broke the law.

Where did i say people aren't allowed to smoke pot? People are free to buy from any dealer if they want.
Yet somehow i'm supposed to feel sorry when someone breaks the law? What happened to personal responsibility? Or should we just blame others for problems?

It isn't. You just choose to view my arguments that way.
