You don't have to be someone who uses cannabis for recreational, medical, religious or sexual purposes, but you can still support the sensible policy Polis and others have set forth.

If you read up on how marijuana became illegal, it would most definitely make you want to overturn the law.

If you care about things like the 4th amendment - you should support an end to the war on drugs, entirely.

I'm never going to use heroin or meth, etc. etc. etc. - but I want them to be legal because I think addiction is a physical health issue, not a criminal issue. It only becomes a criminal issue because it's illegal. I want addicts to be able to go to a local gov-run pharmacy, that also has lots of counseling for those who would like to quit entirely.

Let the cost be dirt cheap, comparatively speaking, and criminals will have to move on to some other activity to make money.
