Tiberius Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 What would be lost? I can answer that question. I’m a middle-aged non-stoner who’s been living in a marijuana-legal state for two years. Here is what’s lost when pot goes legal: fear and destruction. Fear of the unknown, fear of skyrocketing use rates, fear of reefer madness. Here in Washington, as in Colorado, we’ve stopped destroying the lives of people who possess a drug that’s less harmful than alcohol. What we’ve gained are new opportunities for responsibility, honesty, and freedom. http://time.com/3815608/marijuana-legalization/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less organized crime profits--I know some of you just think they will sell illegal shoes or something instead. It also relieves a huge strain upon the people that get charged and convicted of these non-victim crimes. What do you suppose is the long term economic impact on a person caught with weed? Suppose they just get caught as a young adult. What does that do to their career and earning potential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose they just get caught as a young adult. What does that do to their career and earning potential? That depends. Caught with a little on him? Not much. Caught with a pound with an intent to distribute? I bet his career/earning potential was already at zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sure, organized crime is just going to go away because we've legalized pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a second, didn't you use to be a stoner? You reformed, right? And that's stupid to say because it wouldn't go away it's ok to still have government policy that helps them.

Are you really arguing that people stupid enough to get in serious trouble with the law over marijuana are also smart enough to have great potential earnings?
