If you no longer use it, then why do you still support it?

Because the federal ban is stupid and counterproductive and also is used to justify federal intervention in what should be state affairs.

Pot has been proven to lead to harder addictive behavior by those who use it.

In some cases. In most cases, it doesn't, as reflected in the large gap between the number of people who have tried pot and those who have tried hard drugs.

There is no magical quality to pot that exists, where if it were legal, it would keep users off harder substances. In fact, the opposite is true.

You can say that about cigarettes and booze as well. Doesn't mean they should be banned.

"Because the federal ban is stupid and counterproductive and also is used to justify federal intervention in what should be state affairs."

Isn't that true for other recreational drugs?
