I would think that the part of using
any substance for entertainment (or hell, even medically) is how it might endanger others, not the user.
Like Norm said, we will never legalize coke, crack, meth, heroine/opiates for recreational use. They are psycho-addictive and physically addictive too, essentially making the user insane and psychotic.
Also, all the above substances would impair driving equal to or greater than even alcohol, and the most danger to others that comes from using substances recreationally is on the road.
Personally, I think that the "driving issue" should be front and centre of the pot legalization debate.

Actually, I hope it stays illegal. I like being able to smoke weed without endless commericals on TV and Radio and stuff about the dangers of toking and driving. And the day someone took my keys away for having a hoot I think I would try to flip, but probably just steal their chips instead.

Uh...what was I talking about again?
