I would smoke weed weather it was legal or even if it had a life sentance with it. I like it, and NOTHING would change that. And to the genius who posted this topic... Man... You make us look bad... Think things through before you post them... The only way they would legalize it is if the relized no matter what people are going to do it, and its not bad for yo, it opens your mind... But they wont becuase they are a bunch of rich pricks who would sell their moms for a dollar(im talkin bout the govt. by the way). SO its not going to happen unless we get invaded by like... Holland or something like that... You are retarded...

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

The intact economy of Amsterdam begs to differ.

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.

No. The Constitution very clearly forbids laws from acting retroactively; there is no debate or potential lawsuit. People are in jail for violating the law, not for having once done something that conflicts with current law; that is to say that the current legal status of cannabis is irrelevant to those with prior possession convictions. This is a universally accepted fact.

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..

---

Agreed. Right now the illegality of cannabis feeds into cultural disapproval of it, which in turn cements its illegality. For legalization to occur, there will have to be a large change in mainstream America's attitude towards it, which cannot occur overnight.

The college kids will be causing chaos though. And perpetuating the age-long debate by acting like dumbshits.
