Disclaimer: I am not a pot smoker and I am vehemently opposed to cigarette smoking.

I think the crap that's added to cigarettes is a big part of the problem that marijuana doesn't have. At least as far as I'm aware marijuana is generally smoked in a very natural state, with only the addition of rolling paper (and not even that a lot of the time). If the stuff that was added to cigarettes to make them more addictive was added to marijuana, I bet results would be more similar.

And this is the only concern I have with legalizing marijuana. It would go from an industry of farmers harvesting and selling their product with little processing to big tobacco finding ways to market it to a bigger audience and more frequent usage. I'm all for making it legal to everyone EXCEPT big tobacco who would find a way to turn it into something seriously unhealthy. People growing it hydroponically in their basement with no chemicals, I say go for it. Have your Friday night toke and get on with your life. (Do people still say toke?)
