I have never smoked weed and have no desire to do so. However I think I have come around to the idea it should be legalized.


And when it is legal, w...should those who consume it pay increased, health and auto premium costs? Can companies still employ testing standards in hiring, as performance stats reflect on the bottom line?

Will States (taxpayers), be forced to bear the societal costs of many who will become unemployable/unemployed? And don't tell me pot don't affect employment...I smoked a ton of that stuff back when...and I clearly remember that 'work'...wasn't high on to-do list.

I don't give a hoot about who does what...but there will be consequences that will be paid for, in the Collective. All that glitters...ain't gold.

My opinion: Yes.

In my perfect world: No.

However I wonder if the savings on mj arrests and prosecutions will make up the difference.

And what about the costs no longer borne by giving up the enormous resources it takes to prosecute the war on drugs? There are tradeoffs to everything.
