I think so, yes.
Proponents do give some stupid reasons for legalization though.
The most compelling reason, by far, is that people shouldn't be arrested or prosecuted for possessing a drug, which is only going to affect them.
This is why I may agree with all drug legalization...it is an overreach when police arrest individuals for doing something that will only have a physical effect on them, and no one else.
Arguments around how marijuana is the same as alcohol, or better than alcohol, or not [i]that[/i] bad, just seem silly when you consider that it is no business of the state what a person puts into their body.
