I am simply curious as to what the more popular reasons are for people who are against the use of cannabis.
So if you are against it, what is your reason?

I think that a lot of the possible uses for cannabis are great - using hemp to create cheaper fabric, using it as a medicine, and all of the other uses for it that are productive and helpful are fantastic and should not be illegal. But, I think that the recreational use of marijuana to simply get high isn't good and it does not add to society or the person's life in any positive way. Also, I personally can't stand any type of smoking and I think it smells disgusting, along with the fact that I know people who have completely wrecked their lives and priorities because of drugs. I'm not saying that this applies to all stoners or drug addicts, but in my experience, it has. Even so, if chain-smoking packs of cigarettes and getting drunk off your ass are legal, then ALL uses of marijuana, including recreationally, should be legal as well. You shouldn't be able to restrict someone from being high while you are completely wasted from vodka shots. I won't support the legalization of marijuana because of my own morals and experiences with drugs, but I also won't fight against it because its current illegal status isn't exactly fair.
