legal pot coming soon!

[scaredyclassic]

maybe they should put forward two bills, one to legalize pot, one to legalize lsd, and the can compromise by just passing the pot bill.

Good point on the difference in telling kids about alcohol and cigarettes. I should correct myself and say not that pot is now okay, but it’s now legal.

I think it has more to do with perception. Alcohol is a drug, but it’s not really perceived as one. Basically the same with cigarettes.

Pot is a drug, like heroin, coke, etc. You legalize one, where does it stop? Addictiveness? Cigarettes got that one covered. Danger? I’d bet my bottom $ more people die from drunk driving and lung cancer than all narcotics combined…maybe b/c they’re illegal.

So say you draw the line at pot, and NEVER legalize anything else…what would the effect on children be assuming a legal age of 18?

I’m actually not all that opposed to the idea as I originally said, but how do you justify legalizing this, but not that, and minimize the risk of raising a generation of tweakers? Yes it’s accessible now, but legalize it and it will be harder to keep kids off it.

Plus no one else commented on the fact that this is potentially part of the state’s budget solution.

If that doesn’t scare anyone else, I don’t know what would…

While I’m all for finding a way to bring revenue into the State (other than through my pocketbook), I really dont think that..uh,..wait….what were we talking about?

I think you found your answer about drawing lines. Each drug would be studied for its economic effects, primarily on the non-users. Those that cause high costs would continue to be limited. But the degree of the limits and the particular form of the limits would be designed solely to minimize the total costs to the rest of society. Methamphetamines would be hit hard, perhaps with the full criminalization we have today, whilst pot would be taxed like tobacco and sold in the same stores.
