Yeah because after legalizing weed the only possible result would be everyone 'tripping out' 24/7 so they couldn't work.....

I don't really think that legalizing it would help that much.  It would definitely help some, it could just be sold like the other legal recreation drug (alcohol).  But because it is fairly easy to grow, people could just grow their own, or else grow and undersell the stores.  


After prohibition the economy didnt collapse or even stutter because alcohol was legalized, most people are responsible and realize the right time and the wrong time to drink and smoke

I didn't say it was bad.
But it would slow down efficiency and reasoning skills.

Maybe then everyone would chill out and not yank their money out of the ever-plummeting stock market! :]

Or they'll get REALLY paranoid.  They'll have to start a new index--one that tracks the five remaining corporations in the world.  The OHSHT lost .00005 points or 30% today as the last corporations on Earth prepare to file bankruptcy.  IN OTHER NEWS:  The New York Stock Exchange was hotboxed again. . .

Drinking is legal, No doctors are going to work drunk (and those who are are arrested).

same rules apply to weed.

oww


anyhoo enough of that madness
umm yeah, if it was legalized, its not like everyone would just sit and home smoking a nice joint, just like only a small percent of people sit at home drinking all day long. The majority of people would enjoy it as they enjoy alcohol, except not as bad, cos weed doesnt make you act like a cunt :D
