How does it affect me? How about when they’re driving stoned and sharing the same road that I am?

Marijuana can do lots of things, one potential is impair judgment thus the laws that are in place against use and driving and that includes Texas. You would do the same thing when you see a drunk driver, report them. Legalization is not a bunch of stoners hanging outta windows firing up bongs.

David, your answer was deflective and I am guessing you have no real evidence to prove how legalization would infringe on your rights in any way and are simply stuck in your thinking as you have already alluded to a lack of understanding.

But again I ask, how does this affects you?

On the bright side, for those who are in favor of legalization, difference of opinion on the matter is largely what we in the social sciences call a cohort effect. People born prior to about 1950 are mostly opposed. People born later than about 1950 are mostly in favor, and individuals' opinions don't change with age very much - so public opinion inevitably becomes more favorable as, well, as old people die. Same deal with gay marriage.
