Smoking pot doesn't hurt anyone except arguably the person doing it. Murder, armed robbery, and drunk driving harms other people.

Truth is, the only people advocating the decriminalization of marijuana are users themselves,

That's pretty far from the truth. I think pot should be legal and I've never used it.

and I have yet to hear one articulate argument supporting it.

I have yet to hear one good argument why it should be any less legal than tobacco or alcohol.
