Its always been about taxation, if they could tax it in the past they would have legalized it sooner I want to say. Glad the world is slowly coming around to it. Needs to happen in England and other places too.

alcohol and cigarettes both have natural mechanisms that prevent normal humans from abusing them extensively. pot is far easier for a decent person to fall into abusing.

Not sayin I agree with prohibition, just sayin maybe there are more important things to worry about politically than increasing the number of available vices! especially when it isn't a matter of principle and you're leaving decent psychedelics schedule 1! hope this helps

Like the fact that this "vice" (read: medicine for some people) is clogging our (for profit) jails. Yeah, there are bigger issues than fighting for freedom and medicine and clearing out our overburdened prison system with non violent people who just wanted to get high...

Not sure how alcohol and cigarettes both have "natural mechanisms" that prevent abuse considering they are both very addictive...

"Drinking more than one drink a day for women or two drinks for men increases the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke.[29] Risk is greater in younger people due to binge drinking which may result in violence or accidents.[29] About 3.3 million deaths (5.9% of all deaths) are believed to be due to alcohol each year"

"Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including nearly 42,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure. This is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300 deaths every day. On average, smokers die 10 years earlier than nonsmokers."

go ahead and tell me how many people a year die because of weed...
tell me how many people have ever become addicted to weed...
how many college kids get hospitalized for weed every year? How about drinking? I guess puking your guts out and dying could be called a "natural abuse prevention mechanic" but all you're really saying is these 2 substances are so harmful you'll die if you abuse them so people won't abuse them! That's incredibly dumb.

Do people abuse weed? Yes, the difference is its harmless even if abused AND people will continue to abuse and use it despite it being illegal, keeping it illegal just makes drug cartels rich/ causes drug violence / forces people to buy unregulated/untested/untaxed drugs / fills our prisons with people that were going to do nothing all day anyway so locking them up was kinda of pointless/expensive. But worst of all is you're denying an incredible medicine to people that desperately need it, ergo: people with epilepsy, cancer, arthritis, chronic pain, migraines... ect ect, I'm not going to tell you what simple google search would because if you're to stupid/lazy/coolaid drinking to do it yourself my words won't change you, maybe next you can tell me how opiate pain killers are non addicts and healthy alternatives (lol).

You must be low iq/ a big pharma employ(but you play this game so you're not employed lol, guess we know which it is)

What is this, some consolation prize? Progressives get run out on a rail and now they want to fight to bring back their prohibition again? The utopian nanny state is done for, and it might come to a point where you will need to get up in the morning and decide what's good for yourself rather than how to regulate, control and tax your neighbors.

Not really. The main problem with pot imo is that it's sold by drug pushers often times. So you go to buy pot, and the pusher is pushing other drugs, dangerous drugs, even giving free samples. That's how it's a gateway drug.

Guess you never been to rehab, been a dealer or been around drug's that much. I sold weed and strictly weed for years. Started trying pills to help anxiety and pain.

Almost every person that has got on hard drugs started with Cannabis first, not saying everyone goes to hard drugs or pills from Cannabis but its very likely that you can.

That's presumptuous considering my first run into college was focused around counseling and then working with drug rehab patients as they transitioned back into regular employment. But hey, you sell drugs, you got a handle on it.

Nevada voted affirmatively for recreational use, albeit with a much tighter margin than Florida, but I'll take it.

I agree with ya Japan. Its a gateway drug (lol) it is though but I prefer it over taking a bunch of pills for chronic pain. Def isnt near as bad as smoking cigs.

Just finding the right strain for anxiety and pain is what I gotta find out, I havent been into it in a long time.

Was it the FBI or the CIA that got caught trafficking drugs from Mexico/South America? I read that somewhere and it wasn't an Alex Jones thing.
