Absolutely. It's the old "abortion should be safe, legal and rare" thing -- when you know they have no interest at all in the "rare" part. Any effort to curb abortion is met with some particular sob story involving rape and incest and the health of the mother, and an outraged "You don't care about that girl!"

The abortion argument is an argument for 50 million dead babies because people couldn't be bothered to be responsible.
The "medical marijuana" argument is an argument in favor of listening to Pink Floyd through headphones and having a really good time.

And most people are afraid to say so.

There was a popular study published in the 90s that showed the effects of abandoning the US “War on Drugs.” It was skewed, but some of the budgetary numbers were staggering. If they legalized all schedule drugs, completely legal for purchase at a gas station, for instance, you’d likely have massive die off from overdoses initially, but the money saved year-to-year could be used to universally fund drug rehab programs across the country for those who become addicted.

I’m not exactly for that, there need to be constraints, but the numbers were pretty eye-opening.
