I wouldn't care about the legalization of pot, except one thing: a female is born with all of the eggs she will ever have. Women do not "produce" eggs after birth. Women who smoke pot not only cause lower fertility for themselves, but they also cause fertility problems for their eggs (which could potentially be fertilized and become babies). How would it feel for your own child to not be able to have their own children because YOU decided to smoke pot? Men also damage their sperm, which can potentially affect a fetus, but I *think* if I remember right that it's more of a short-term issue...if he stops smoking, he clears up his sperm, depending on how much reproductive damage he has already caused himself.

I know that some potheads would argue that they're not having children, so it doesn't matter, but most potheads are pretty short-sighted (ex: OP), and don't think about the fact that many people change their minds about that kind of stuff when the biological clock starts ticking.
