I think of weed kinda like alcohol. In certain circumstances and in moderation it is fine. Sitting home listening to music with a joint is fine by me. Just don't drive your damn car. Way back when I smoked I liked it better than booze or beer, it was relaxing and no hangovers.
As to why people get uppity if you speak against it, well, weed is kewl. All the cool kids do it so if you're against it you're out of the loop...you square. Same thing for alcohol. I don't drink anymore and people seem to be offended that I don't. They try so hard to get me to drink, like it's some kind of necessity.

Hobo Squarepants!

And the person who shoveled their side only is still a dick.
