I knew there's a book called Numbers, but I didn't know about Math...

I don't favor the legalization of pot, society just does not need another set of problems like those associated with the abuse of alcohol. However I tend to be pretty libertarian on peoples freedoms to destroy their own body with just about any means... provided in doing so it does not have deleterious impact on others. I guess the issue for me is really in just how the legal system is to handle those that do create problems with its use... whatever

Marijuana doesn't have anywhere near the same problems associated with alcohol, all the lies/propaganda aside, almost every problem associated with marijuana is actually due to the prohibition of marijuana. There is a famous quote stating, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." Unfortunately, this has occurred with many people's views on Marijuana, which began with the short film called "Reefer Madness".

Marijuana should be removed from the criminal justice system and regulated in a manner similar to alcohol and tobacco.

I think it makes people stupid. I mean, people who are "high" aren't coherent and the smell is sickening. I don't mind if it's legalized, but users should be restricted to use it in the confines of their own home. Also, anyone caught Driving Under the Influence should be treated the same as if they were under the influence of alcohol.
