I’ve never smoked pot, but I have been to an Amsterdam coffeeshop. Not long enough to feel any effects, though.
I’m in favor of legalizing it and taxing it at 7% or whatever the sales tax is in your state. I’d tax the hell out of sugar before going after marijuana.
Tried it twice, had negative effects and am not interested in trying again. I suppose I would support it in that I wouldn’t actively oppose it. But I don’t have enough of an interest in the concept to go out of my way to help with legalization.
What about the cost to society of imprisoning people over it and spending billions of tax dollars trying to eradicate it? To me, it doesn’t seem like the kind of issue that is a toss up and I can be apathetic about.
Just because I agree that the billions being spent and the massive imprisonments aren’t the way to go doesn’t necessarily mean I support full legalization. If such a thing were on the ballot, I would probably vote for it depending on how it was worded though.
Perhaps if it had been legal, you would not have had a paranoid episode?
I haven’t smoked in about a year and a half. Did plenty in my lifetime. I might smoke again, if offered, but don’t seek it out. Certainly support legalization.
I’m for legalization/legislation for multiple reasons, but those aside, I would be for the sheer hypocricy of allowing - nay, encouraging - alcohol, tobacco and caffeine use <not to mention OTC stuff> and having the brazen BALLS to claim that pot is somehow worse. O.o
