The video you linked to is a music video. I'm not sure how that sums up an argument against legalized drugs?

What indication do you have that use will go up with legalization, or that enforcement will go down?

The only folks I think who would really have a legitimate beef are the private prison systems, criminal defense attorneys and to some degree the state's attorneys, but there's always work for a prosecutor.

Yeah, I'm sure there will be some designated areas, but what about just walking around outside smoking it like a cigarette. I jog every morning so what if I pass someone smoking it and I smell it. That's unfair to me.

If more people will have access to it, more people will try it and continue to use it.

True story: more people have tried marijuana in the U.S. (per capita, of course) than have in the Netherlands.

Trying and continued use are two different things.

Sure they are.
Other studies show that teen use (as in past month use) of marijuana is about half what it is in the U.S.
In no way do statistics of any kind show that decriminalization leads to some form of widespread use.
