Marijuana is Legal and So Is Gay Marriage !!!

The gay marriage part is great news.

And I suppose giving marijuana a chance to be legal is good too.

@pooty: Oh I see. I have no problem with gay marriage, but is it really wise that decision about marijuana...?

Locking someone up for months or even years for smoking a drug that's no worse than alcohol is a great thing. Not only is it going to save tax payers millions on not housing prisoners for smoking the stuff but also creates more legal, taxable jobs and brings in more money into their economy. I'm jealous my state didn't get it.

And they could probably tax the drug control substances and get rid of the black market.

What happens when the blazers are out on the road? The data on the long term affects are still debatable form what I understand.

Also, alcohol has no chance of being illegal, same with cigarettes, the lobbyists and companies are too powerful but if I had a vote I'd make both all three illegal.

I can see where your coming from but I dont think the drug problem is going to get better.Its worth trying this new policy out to see if it works.

It will help do these things, tax the drug ,control substances and get rid of the black market.

They spend a hell of a lot of money on cracking down on drugs and arresting people,this could be a better alternative.

What if Pot falls into the hands of 13/14 year olds? It would be legal for them to smoke it? I hope there is a age limit.

There will be an age limit,just as there is with alcohol and cigarettes.

Gay marriage shouldn't still be a problem. Effing ridiculous.

An age limit ain't gonna do jack. If a teenager wants to get his/her hands on pot, they're gonna get their hands on some pot.

True,people still get their hands on alcohol and cigarettes regardless of age.

Marijuana is still against the Federal Law. California passed similar legislation legalizing it for medicinal use, and people were still getting arrested and medical Marijuana shops raided by the feds. States can legalize it until they are blue in the face, it wont mean a thing until the Federal Government does the same.

I just don't see why this policy will prevent further drug use by allowing more drug use, though. And we still don't know what the long term affects of marijuana are so it's a crap shoot.

There's always going to be a black market.

This is only one alternative to one drug.

If they are able to tax the drug and give out controlled substances,it will help decrease the black market.I know it wont get rid of the black market,there will probably always be a black market.

Its still worth trying out to see how well it works,

That's true, I just don't see it impacting the drug trade. Instead of simply accepting that the drug will be around they should try to eradicate it.

I will disagree there, it might do more harm then good (if there is any good) and once you make some legal it's harder to make it illegal but we'll see. :]

Maybe,only time will tell.

It won't do a thing to stop the black market, it will simply shift what that market pushes which tends to be something "harder" and more damaging. Also it won't reduce the amount of money the government wastes on prisons because most people in prison are there for possessing a lot more than weed or committed a felony. I think prisons need to crack down and get rid of televisions and other comforts(most prisons are better than my college dorm).

I said in another post that it wont get rid of the black market but alot of drug dealers deal weed.It will allow the government to give out controlled substances as well.And alot of money is spent on tackling drugs it might reduce that.

I agree with your other part of the post.

But the government gives out controlled substances of other drugs yet people still find ways around it to abuse them, plus what is stopping someone from selling the amount they get from the government to someone else and being a drug dealer themselves?

Do they? I dont know it depends on the country.I dont like I said it should be tried out before been completely ruled out.

I have no problem with either of these.
