Congrats!
I've not smoked any weed in 40 years, and don't plan to take it back up anytime soon, but I have no objections to other folks toking up if they so desire - what they do ain't none of my goddamned business.
Personally, I think ALL recreational drugs ought to be legal, up to and including heroin. What the hell do I care how someone else chooses to end themselves? "Dangerous" drugs (which don't include weed, usually) are a self-solving problem, with the added bonus of improving the gene pool.
Wanna see a drug dealer in a cartel cry? Legalize his product. Prices probably won't drop, as the government is just going to take a bigger cut, but NO ONE can deal dope like a government can! Why go to all the trouble of getting shot up at the Mexican border to secure a shipment when you can walk down to the corner store anytime and get your fix? Dead junkies all over the place? No problem! Med schools and the like are always looking for cadavers, and prices on them probably WOULD drop if they could be had by the dozen on any given street.
Housing prices would likely drop, too - demand for places to live would drop if there weren't so many living people to outbid one another on them.
Weed make you lose your motivation? No problem! Well, that ain't strictly so - whether you have the gumption to get out and earn YOUR daily bread is not MY problem, so from my perspective - no problem! A couple hits of acid send you off on a permanent trip? No problem! Well, at least your mental well-being ain't MY problem.
There is way too much of other folks deciding FOR you what is good for you, and stealing your own decisions from you. I'm not one of those other folks. I don't give a shit what other folks do on their own time. Ain't none of my business. If they decide it should somehow impact MY life, well, I got a solution for that, too! If I'm leaving them be to live their lives as they see fit, it's only neighborly for them to do the same for me.
Lâchez-vous et laissez le bon temps rouler!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
