Who was unable to get alcohol when they were 15/16? I wouldn't have drank any more or less if it was legal when I was 15.



I say we get the tax money and call it good. I seriously doubt there are any people that want to smoke pot and don't because it is illegal. In washington state it's easier to get your hands on weed then it is to buy liquor.



We know cigarettes are bad and yet we couldn't live without the tax money, so they are legal. Think of all the tax money we could have for weed.

And for that matter who gives a ****, it's survival of the fittest. I am far more concerned about stupid people breeding then I am about peopel smoking pot, but we can't legislate that.

You've got to be kidding me. You honestly think that everyone who wants to smoke weed and drink does so whenever they want? As far as I know, that only happens in trailer parks and Manhattan penthouses.



I know of a lot of younger kids who wanted alcohol and weed and couldn't get it. I personally wouldn't have drank more if it was legal, but that's because it never really appealed to me. Most of the kids I hung out with drank whenever they could, and if they could have gone to the convenience store and gotten 40s instead of Pepsi, they would have.

Do you honestly think there are people that want to smoke pot and are unable to buy it?

phinsup

And you are saying that even though you don't smoke weed, if they legalized you would go out and pick up a habit?

Well, in college, it's not buying it that's the problem, it's smoking it and not getting in trouble.



And yes, I do know that there are people who can't smoke whenever they want to because they can't get any weed. It's not hard to find, but it's tough to find someone you trust. Getting kicked out of your dorm/school isn't worth the high for some people.

Where are you getting this **** from?

phinsup

You are saying millions of people will start smoking weed if they legalize it... that is what you said. So basically people that currently don't smoke weed are gonna go "Oh they legalized weed, I better go get me a habit!"



Smoking is legal... not everyone does it.

Where did I say that?

I 150% am in agreement with phinsup... a first i know but it's still true... also how often do you hear of somebody getting really high and beating the **** out of his wife? Instead of spending billions fighting something you can't do anything about, why not make billions on taxing it? The gov. needs to just admit that it was wrong... especially when 8 out of every 10 citizens think it should be legal... isn't that what democracy is supposed to be about? what the people think? i hate when i rant.....
