18+ you can buy it at smoke shops and gas stations.

Everyone would skip work to smoke and businesses will collapse in that one day alone

and the people who do show up to work high would be less productive and lazy as fuck

sure the smoke shops will be happy but will the millions thrown in jail for weed possession? If there released, we have a bunch of ex convicts running around debating whether they should sue the government for throwing them there in the first place or we can keep them inside and cause huge riots.

If were going to legalize weed, it's going to be a long and drawn out process, first all states will allow medical marijuana then the punishments would slowly drop..

and just for the record, I smoke weed.

because cigarettes don't get you high and it's looked down upon more then weed.

people don't drink all the time because it's been legal almost ever..almost everyone has done it..

where as if they made weed legal, everyone would celebrate that one day(or week) and smoke as much as they can knowing it's legal

If someone buys weed illegally they probably bought it legally before... and how many people are in prison just for weed? Maybe if they sold tons of it with other drugs... Besides they would probably have a limit on how much you can have on you at a time. and you would most likely have to be 21 like liquor...  

Cigs are way WORSE for you than weed anyway

That sure is some giant leap you made.

How do you come up with such bullshit like this?

They are going to sue the government for putting them in jail for doing something illegal? And then released them once it was made legal?? yea... cause that would sure as hell stand in court.


If were going to legalize weed, it's going to be a long and drawn out process, first all states will allow medical marijuana then the punishments would slowly drop..

Yes, but not for the bizzare reasons you stated.


and just for the record, I smoke weed.

Intelligent pot smokers hate you for it.

No, I think it's fun doing it... legal or not. It wouldn't change that much if it was legal...

Some would. Others do it because they enjoy it. Legalizing it would weed out (no pun intended) the idiot smokers because they only smoke because of the thrill they het

Just because weed is illegal now doesn't mean people don't already do this.. I know a TON of people who HAVE to get high before they go to work. Personally, I perform many tasks more efficiently/fluently when I'm high.

I have hypothesized that one's familiarity with THC can alter the detrimental effects on motor skills. This meaning that someone who has smoked marijuana for the first time will have a much harder time doing normal tasks as someone who is a routine smoker who acquires the same level of "intoxication." Many people learn to function as well if not better when high. For me, it slows down the peripheral random thought that usually occurs in my mind while I'm doing a task, allowing me to be more relaxed and focus more directly on the task at hand.
