I am more concerned about the losers who smoke being able to do so more and now in places where people are normally safe from it. An increased interaction with potheads baked out of their mind is not something I want for myself or my kids.
Plus the more legitimate we make it the more people will think it is ok to use.

Are you being sarcastic? What a backwards view. "Safe from it"? You really think that keeping pot illegal is going to limit your kids ability or desire to use it? Do you not remember your days in junior high and high school? It's extremely easy to attain, it's completely unregulated (so you don't really know what's in it which IMO is one of the biggest issues), it's relatively cheap, and it's lining the pockets of the criminal class.
Legalizing it will put it on the same level as alcohol. Regulated, more difficult for minors to get, and taxed. It will put the dealers, distributors and growers out of business, who are the real offenders and in some cases violent.
What's the difference between alcohol and marijuana, really? Remember alcohol was also illegal for a period of time. Do you drink? Alcohol is actually way worse for the body than pot.
Btw I don't use marijuana, nor do any of my friends or family.
