A person who consumes pot in a moderate manner is not a "druggie", any more than a person who consumes alcohol in a moderate manner is an "alcoholic". Name calling helps no one, and reduces individuals to a class of untermensch.
Really, the only fanciful and false ideas I have seen expressed here is the one which states that the law may only be changed by blind obedience till such time that courts and legislatures see fit to do so in answer to meek petition, and the idea that our rights under the constitution may be granted or taken away by the Supreme Court, whose rulings we are supposed to blindly accept.
