Out of curiosity - why? Granted I've not been involved with many people who are regular smokers these days, but when I was, they were all for Legalisation.

People who live a normal life but yet like to relax with a smoke. Dope-head and other similar descriptions talk to me more about the person saying these things than those they are trying to put down. And yes these terms are put downs. I've been a smoker most of my adult life, as are a lot of my friends, it's funny to hear people tell me 'no you don't smoke dope' when they find out I do, just because I don't fit their naive perception of a 'typical pot-smoker'. Not that one actually exists.
There's a couple of people I used to know who definitely fall into the 'Dope-Head' cliche:
Hyper-Talented Musicians that 'discovered' drugs and then their life priorities changes, Some of them are people who it was sad to watch, since they were very capable people who ended up preferring to get High.
