People against pot use- your reasons?

I've been a daily weed smoker for a few years now, I know a lot of people have stigma against it. For those adamantly against general use- what are your reasons? Do your views extend to alcohol and cigarettes? Is it purely because of legal reasons? Past history? Former user yourself? Can you say you're against something you haven't had any direct exposure to?

I only think it’s silly ( but totally none of my business) when getting high is used as a replacement for actually going out & doing things, having fun etc to make sitting in a room fun. That does strike me as a bit dumb. But it’s not as if I don’t choose stupid stuff on occasion myself. The only other thing that led me concerned was the case of my Uncle Pat. He loved pot, loved to grow it & smoke his own crop. He never did any other drugs. Didn’t drink alcohol not even coffee. But he did smoke weed everyday from the age of 12- when he died in his 50s. All my childhood & a brief part of my adult life he was in I thought my uncle was a bit weird. He always spoke slow & seemed kinda dumb. I loved this man very much. But other than working he acted like he was teenager. He didn’t have a disability of any kind. So I was always cautious of perhaps the type of marijuana or extended use, improper smoke ventilation etc it’s never something I forgot. But I still don’t care for it to be illegal. Cannabis has provided much relief for many different ailments to people I personally know. So I am happy for its positive impact.
