Just a few thoughts on the legalization of marijuana.
- Up until now the debate has been largely hypothetical. At least now, we might actually be able to find out who was right and who was wrong about legalizing pot.
- It does seem to contradict everything that the government has told us so far. It makes all the money and effort that spent on enforcing marijuana laws, and “educating” people about the dangers of marijuana seem a waste.
- I do like the idea of all the people involved in the illegal marijuana trade. losing their source of income, and I like the idea of not spending money to enforce marijuana laws and prosecute people who have broken those laws.
- What about all the people who were convicted for breaking marijuana laws in the past? It’s almost like saying that they were wrongly convicted.
- Never say never. I never thought I’d see the day when you could legally smoke pot, but could not smoke cigarettes outside, in public places. Something seems wrong with this to me.
- Wasn’t half the fun of smoking pot, the fact that it was illegal? I think somehow, some of the mystique will be lost.
- How is this going to affect drug testing in the workplace?
- If in the near future, someone accidentally causes the deaths of several or more people, and it can be proven that he was intoxicated by pot at the time of the accident, there’s going to be an uproar.
- I got a bad feeling about this, like there must have been some reason that marijuana was illegal, and everyone forgot what it was. I don’t know what it was, but I have a feeling that we are going to find out, all over again.
- I wonder, in a few years when we’re all looking back at this with 20/20 hindsight, how many things will seem so obvious, that we are not fully able to appreciate now?
