People don't understand that legalization doesn't mean everyone has to smoke it.

Perhaps the following may happen?
Liquor and Beer lobby against it.
Cigarette lobby against it.
Stores who sell above, but can't sell pot against it.
Holy Rollers against it.
But, if more $$ in tax revenue can come in, it might have a chance.

O/U 10 years before it's finally legalized everywhere?
Stupid fricking old people who are too set in their ways and people who just don't listen to reason are the only people that oppose legalization when something like alcohol is readily available.

I'm taking the over, but not by much. I suspect only a select few states will still have it illegal in 10 years time. I do not believe Louisiana will be one of them.
Maybe I underestimate the sway of the Sheriff's and private prison lobby, but public opinion has shifted substantially over the past 5 years.

When it's legal for home use, which it is here, it will be prolific. You can still get busted for it outside of your home or for selling.

There is this newer form of smoking called "dabs" some think it may change some peoples perception of MJ (negatively). It is 85% THC, very strong, but designed to be taken in small doses. I came across it for the first time the other day and it was like first time all over again.
Very strong, I wonder if it's going to take off.

It was in response to all the revenue it would generate in Louisiana.

It can be legal and companies still not allow employees to do it so I don't see the point of why this is being talking about

Just because something is legal doesn't mean you have to do it. If your job doesn't allow it already, why would it being legal have any repercussion on your existing job requirements?

What is an example of a company firing an employee for doing something that is legal during their off hours? (Moonlighting in certain positions is all I can think of)

Once again I was responding to a post discussing revenue. Specifically how much a poster expected it to generate in the state of Louisiana. Not anything to do with legalization.
If you take a quick look over to my left you will see I live in CO. I also voted Yes on Amendment 64.

I've yet to hear of any company changing their drug policies in Colorado just because Amendment 64 passed. My former company made sure to circulate a memo just after it passed saying all employees are still subject to random drug testing and will be terminated if they test positive for THC.

Exactly what my post to your comment was about. Just because something is legal doesn't mean you have to do it and if you already can't do it because of your job that's most likely not going to change because it's suddenly legal.

Things you may not have thought of:
1)Even if it's decriminalized in the state, a national bank may still not accept cash from shop owners as long as it's considered a federal crime.
Good luck holding on to 10,000s of cash in your shop.
2) Colorado shops are selling at 4-5 times the rate of normal street product. Anyone thinking the black market will be eliminated is very wrong at this point.

Not opposed, but these and other very sound thoughts from Robert Mazur on pot legalization make me think LA is far away.
Check him out.
