You're being totally ridiculous in trying to equate same sex marriage with the legalzation of marijuana and are being really intellectually lazy by doing it. You've put the two next to each other saying that if gay marriage is allowed, then so should marijuana and, quite frankly, that causal relationship is bullshit and the two should not be pushed together as issues equal / civil rights. I can understand the bullshit libertarian notion that they are theoretically "private" decisions that have been pushed into the public sphere, but come on, a legal contract between two people is not the same thing as the regulation of a categorized contraband.

You can draw a connection between gay marriage and "regular" marriage, claiming that one group of people has access to various legal rights and benefits that another does group not have.

And you can draw a connection between marijuana and legal things like alcohol or various prescription drugs.

But you and pro-marijuana folks are really pushing it with this bullshit of taking gay marriage as a comparison point, which is just a desperate attempt to try to stay relevant, given the fact that they have made a lot of strides for medical marijuana and some for hemp, but have not gained much ground in general marijuana legalization. That said, I should just say that I support the legalization of marijuana and think that the US is incredibly hypocritical with its drug policies.
