Not all of them. Just the ones that aren't physically addictive, like pot, psychedelics, mdma. People have and always will use drugs, like alcohol. I'd rather them get legit quality, safe drugs, than dirty drugs that are cut with hazardous chemicals.

Are you prepared for the government taxation and regulation?

I'm actually enjoying the taxation and regulation her in Colorado. The money is going towards schools and other quality of life programs. They're really hasn't been any negative impacts, except maybe the population increase. But it's beautiful, and my generation wants to live in great/beautiful places, so it would've probably still happened to a certain degree. Even people who were against it have changed their views.

We will have pot cafes here. First ones should open next month. Interesting to see how they'll work.

We don't really have these yet. There are a couple pot clubs in a Denver suburb, I think Englewood, but I've never been. You can't buy it there, you can only smoke what you bring. And I'm old enough I think the pot culture is a bit annoying.

I wish it were like Amsterdam. Pop in, buy a bag of weed, smoke it on-site while drinking a beer, and then buy some mushrooms to bring home.

I'm all about legalizing soft drugs that don't have physical withdraw symptoms. Not everyone enjoys the same substances.

A large number of overdoses are from cut or bad heroin.

A large number of DWI fatalities are from 'ovedoses' of a legal drug. User makes bad choices.

Illegal nature of drugs drives an industry that offers harmful alternatives. Some legal, some illegal.

I can't see an addict making better choices just because it is legal. It will still result in alternatives...some legal (government controlled) and some illegal (black market, which we know will still thrive.)

I don't use any drugs except alcohol and am in favor of far less drug restriction. I just think folks who think it will not cause other problems are not thinking it through.

The drug trade is the single most damaging thing in the US today. It not only creates a dangerous black market, it also imprisons hundreds of thousands causing a rise in single mothers and dependent children who are supported by the taxpayer.

Drug users find drugs. They'll either find it in the underground economy or through legal means. I really don't care if people use and OD. I do honestly believe that deaths by overdose would be relatively stable and close to what they are today.

Hello lung problems.

1 marijuana joint = the tar of over 100 cigarettes.

1. That is hilariously false.

2. Eat it. Drink it. Rub it on. No need to smoke it.

3. Cigars are like totally a billion times worse, but no one cares about those.
