I'd just like to know progressives' rationale for legalizing marijuana. Because with libertarianism, it's all part of personal liberty, which we apply to every aspect of life.

Based on the "progressives" that I've known, the rationale is "duuuuuude, fucking awesome, pass the nachos." Which does, of course, overlap with some libertarians rationale.
