Timaree, I generally agree w/ the freedom to toke. I don't personally enjoy it as smoking (anything) interferes with my ability to exercise, not to mention that I just don't find the experience to be enjoyable. But, I have productive, tax paying friends who contribute to society, and at the end of the day I will go home and enjoy a glass of wine - and they go home and enjoy a joint.

There is a definitive line, however. Some recreational drugs are more addictive, more expensive and lead the user down a path of near-certain self-ruin. I don't know anyone who uses heroin but I'd be willing to bet there are few heroin users that are very productive. While I think people have the right to eff up their own lives, having a bunch of drug addicts around is bad for society. So, to each his own - until it starts affecting me and eating up the tax dollars I contribute.

Marijuana is on par w/ alcohol in my book, as both can be enjoyed occasionally and responsibly w/o ever one who tries the stuff becoming addicted and useless. The same can't be said for other drugs, which is why I, a libertarian, do support limiting their legality.
