I am asking this question genuinely out of concern. The recent decriminalization of marijuana in CT hit national news and the front page of reddit. All of those in support of this bill, what is your reasoning? Are you supportive of the bill in hopes that now you can get high legally or that the bill will encourage your state to pass the same bill? Or are you in favor of the bill because of the initiative that it represents to reform the current drug policy in the U.S. that is ineffective? Please be honest, I want to know. 

I am concerned that too many people are in favor of this bill because it would enable them to avoid some of the consequences that are accompanied by using marijuana. My fear is that once marijuana becomes legalized, not just decriminalized, the public will abandon the effort to reform, or better yet eliminate, the current drug policy. This would be a huge set back in the movement that so many people have worked hard to initiate. 

Also, any redditors who live in countries that have made the initiative toward new drug policies, please describe how you view their effects. For instance, anyone from Canada let me know how you view insite and its effects.
<bot>: Do you support the legalization of marijuana because you want to get high or because of the possible effects that will stem from this action?
