I don't use marijuana and have no desire to. But legalizing it like Michigan has done is a needed expansion of basic freedom.

And I don't think we should stop at marijuana, there are many other drugs people take recreationally that should also not be illegal. Mushrooms are seeing a push for legalization. I really only think heroin, fentanyl, meth, and a hand full of other designer drugs need to remain illegal, everything else is a personal choice.
