I asked the question in GQ and I got some great answers.

Damn! Accurate gossip! How often does that happen?
I will mark this great day on my calendar!

Question: for those who actually have things they’d do if legal, what is it that’s keeping you from doing them now? Is it fear of the potential consequences of getting caught, the difficulty involved (e.g. inability to find drugs), or is it [snort, giggle] respect for the law?
[/QUOTE]
I’ve got kids, so I obviously don’t want to do anything that’s gonna get them taken away from me, and being in jail for pot/shrooms kinda seems like something the judge would frown on, ya know?
(Before anybody jumps in my ass, I should mention that I’d handle drugs just like I handle alcohol now, and only partake when the kids are gone for 24 hours.)
Wow. If we didn’t have laws, the world would be a chaotic hellhole!

Um…“duh”?
That’s almost a whoosh.

I can find drugs pretty easily, you just have to know which of the guys sitting around the local fast-food joints (hee hee) to ask. What keeps me from lighting up a joint, much as it would help my migraines, is partly the illegality of it, partly my desire to remain employed, and partly the fact that I have a kid and don’t want her taken away.

Really?
I wouldn’t mess with anybody any more than I do now. I would think the majority of people on the planet would be the same way.
Everybody that says they’d commit murder is full of shit. You know why? Because they’d be murdered the next day.

The majority of people aren’t the ones who’d scare me, my friend.
Scratch that—they’re the ones that don’t really scare me. A few hundred million naked, pot-smoking speeders doesn’t exactly fill me with the joy to meet the new day, either.

Well, I was expecting that personal morals would coincide with the law, for the most part. I’m not surprised about the drugs, I suppose (a bit disappointed, though) but the murder and the violence - the only thing preventing it is the word of law? I stand aghast!
I expected more from people, especially Dopers.
Though Snarky_Kong has a point, there would be a fear of retaliation that would hold a lot of these behaviours back.
I’d let off a bunch of fireworks. Wheeeee!
Upon further reflection add to my list a nice sausage at breakfast. Maybe a jagersnitzel for dinner too.
When instructed to remove my shoes by the TSA I’d nod politely and do so… then shove them sideways up the bottoms of the nearest available agents.
'Course, I’d have to buy new shoes then, and airports only seem to have Crocs stores these days.
I’d grow weed as a cash crop, and sell it to all of you!
I don’t grow weed now, because I have too much to lose.

Dude, if like pot was like legal and all, most of us could and would grow it ourselves.
Part of the reason it is called weed is that it is extremely easy to grow.
Key cars that straddle multiple parking spaces.

I know how easy it is to grow, but people are lazy! Of course the price would drop, but I think it would still be more profitable than anything else I can use my land for.
Cannibalism.

Ah, that makes more sense. Maybe if they ever do the right thing and completely legalize it, I will make a garden and sell the stuff to a local farmer’s market. It would generate a small easy income while provide plenty for friends and family.

Reviewing this and your first post, I guess stopping and considering what is “legal” in one’s country and what is not puts a whole 'nother perspective on this question…
Imagine, for instance, living in China, where a viable reply to the OP might be: “to have a second child”…

I’d go into London and do a huge shit on the sidewalk, then as people walked past, I’d point to it and hold out a cup, saying “penny for the shite?” Then I’d hit them in the face.
Or perhaps not.

Is that really illegal in the UK?
