lol. I was actually going to stay out of this whole debate, because to me, it is simple.

I do not smoke pot, and even it became legal, I would not smoke pot. So, the whole debate is kinda "eh" to me, since it will not change whether or not I smoke it or not.

But, the whole statistics thing got to me. I did a research paper a while back in one of my courses on misrepresented statistics and how they "influence" people to view things one way or another. I cannot remember where nor do I feel the need to researrch it all again, but I found it amazing that people were shown false statistics on purpose, asked how they felt about an issue, then were given the correct statistics, and asked again how they felt.
It is amazing at the faith that people put into numbers that anyone can make up and that even the smallest factor could change the over-all statistic. I read a comment one time something about such and such % of statistics are made up and the other such and such % are based off of people's opinions that could change tomorrow. Not true, but.....
