If he is, that’s great because so many of these charges are ridiculous. But, I’m not necessarily in favor of making marijuana more accessible, just not keeping it a crime to go to jail over. As long as people are only getting high on their own (and NOT driving a car or anything afterward) I have no problem with what people do with it. That’s up to them. It’s not a crime to fuck yourself up in the manner of your choosing.
I don’t think anyone is in favor of relaxing DUI laws.
If it remains a black market good, that precludes a lot of safety and regulation. Humans love drugs. If I was writing a sci-fi setting, drugs would probably be the Human Special Thing. They’re not going away. Focus on harm reduction. And as far as harm from drugs go, marijuana is pretty low on the danger factor.

“I don’t care what you do in your own time… just as long as it’s not easily accessible or legal”
It would be logical to restrict access to alcohol far more severely if you have that concern.

I rather they restrict alcohol and make marijuana legal.
