Speaking as someone who has absolutely no interest in getting high, I support legalization, mostly because I don't think the government has any business telling people what they can or can't put into their bodies, because marijuana convictions account for an astounding number of people in our prisons, and because we already legalize, regulate, and tax alcohol and tobacco, both of which are demonstrably unhealthier than pot. That's just for recreational usage; I think that the medical approach is even easier. Again, we already legalize and regulate medical narcotics far more dangerous and addictive than pot, and there's a fairly long list of medical benefits associated with it.
I think it does a lot of disservice to the issue to just write it off as "lol, potheads want to smoke up, they're the only ones that want this legalized".
