crParticipantGood 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…

crParticipantI don’t have a problem with legalizing pot logically or fiscally, but how do you now tell your kids pot is okay but cocaine, LSD, speed, meth, and X are not?
Of course, if our state politicians cared anything about children at all we wouldn’t even be in a financial situation that welcomes this idea to the table.
That and it sets a precendent for future legalizations down the road in the name of balancing the state budget. It’s not like we can expect them to cut spending or anything.
I’m holding out for heroin.
