Decriminalizing a product is not a boycott of it. Decriminalizing pot is
not boycotting pot. Quite the contrary.

You've claimed pot use as harmful. Can you clarify if you think it
wrong. Since you used "responsible" pot use, can you clarify when pot
use is wrong, a bit wrong and right.
Paying for health care for pot users is subsidizing their pot use.
Paying for the problems of an pot user, such as their person and social
problems is subsidizing it.
You are complicit. You are what you despise in our vegan friend.
