One of the main reasons legalizing pot is such a bad idea is exactly what this article is about

Pot use will go up when you decriminalize it...

Based on the issues and costs associated with alcohol abuse, you would think they can add 1+ 1 = 2

More use more problems and issues and additional costs...

I wonder how much of these additional tax dollars generated from pot sales Colorado wind up being used to address these issues...

It's been said about drugs in general:

"What we have now, with the War on Drugs, is a Criminal Justice Disaster.

"What we will have when all drugs are legalized is a Public Health Disaster."

Or words to that effect.

Aren’t you making an argument for alcohol prohibition?

Chickenpoophead has said all the revenue from pot sales will not be enough to cover all the additional costs. Maybe if enough dumbass graphics artists become stoners some of these companies will have to look toward older experienced artists and i can get some work
