You know it’s not like you’re halucinating, right? Expand sure, i am a stoner from way back. i can't remember the last time i imbibed though, it has been a good number of years. with that said, it does impair one ability. the degree to which it does is probably debatable though.

By all means, let's start the introduction of Islamic law and culture with legalizing marijuana, right @The_Dude? Expand Again, not true. What census gave you this gem? It’s like we need to fact-check everything you say because you’re always making things up. Seriously, the next time you wanna spout a fun-fact, Google it first so you don’t look so foolish.

Expand No. This is why it's only legal in places where they let the citizens decide by citizen's initiative. I live in Washington and that's how it got passed here. The state legislature passed it a few years earlier but the Governor refused to sign it.

I love to see these personal responsibility freedom types on here being against it. LOL. I don't like drunks but I don't think alcohol should be illegal. Bottom line is the people want it, it's just the politicians with pockets lined with pharmaceutical and alcohol industry and private prisons money that don't want it. In almost every state they have let the voters decide it's passed. Expand Yeah it’s ridiculous that conservatives advocate for the continued prohibition. Ignorance and hypocrisy. 1

Expand I think a lot of people would like the freedom to drive as fast as they want any time anywhere and would be willing to pay a tax for that privilege. Should we do that too? Sure a few more people will die and there will be some extra cost to administer that right, but shouldn't we consider it in the name of freedom?

Expand This is a horrible point, though I’m sure you find it valid. 1. Speed limits are for government roads. The government owns them. They can control them. 2. What I’m advocating for is a man to grow whatever flowers he wants on his property, and to do with his flowers what he pleases on his property. That is not me advocating for somebody to get high and drive which is irresponsible and is something I do not do, nor have I ever. 3. By your logic it’s a short road to gun control. 4. You cannot come up with a reason why you should have any say as to what flowers I have in my house.

Will law enforcement costs rise? Will use of other more dangerous drugs also rise? Are there health risks for long term use and what will that cost both users and non-users? Will academic and work performance fall? Don't give me the alcohol argument. I'm interested in knowing if legalizing this is a net negative or net positive for our society. Expand What marijuana stock benefits the most from legalization?

It will be a commodity just like corn or wheat. It will be over produced to the point of being near worthless just like corn and wheat have been for most of the last 100 plus years in the US. All the regulations and licensing will not prevent overproduction. I listened to a news report yesterday that said that the black market is adapting well in states where it is legal. If I were a financial advisor IF you wanted in as an investor my advice would be to get back out within a year or two years at the latest before the suckers figure out pot is not a magical profit industry. Now to build my time machine to go back to 1986 to tell myself to buy 100 shares of Microsoft (of which I had the money then to do so) at the IPO. Or better yet tell myself that the years 1983-1986 should all be about earning money to put into Microsoft. Edited March 1, 2019 by RochesterRob 1

Expand Already a rise in pot related traffic mishaps in states such as Colorado. Probably early yet to know how DUI pot driving impacts serious injuries long term. A problem is pot on average is far more potent than it was a generation ago. A person today probably is much more buzzed versus 40 years ago due to supply.
