Of course not. Millions of people do it. Every day.

Just like 98% percent of smokers who do an end-run against cigarettte taxes by growing and rolling their own.

(do I really need a sarc tag?)

So. Here’s what is gonna happen when pot is legalized:

First of all we legitimize the drug cartels. All of a sudden MS-13 become like the Mafia. More power and control.

Next, we market it to kids. Like Joe Camel, remember?

Third, we open up the need to build new prisons for the stoners too lazy and stupid to work. They turn to crime.

Next, the welfare state explodes with triple digit growth.

And on and on we go!

You got it.

In the real world, Potheads follow the path of least resistance. Theft, welfare, prison.

Do you really believe that there are millions of people out there who would just love to smoke pot but are to afraid to do so because of the government?

Seriously?

Here’s a prediction; if pot was legalised not a single person who isn’t already currently smoking the stuff would suddenly decide to smoke it.

Even if pot were legal I still wouldn’t smoke it, I have been offered it many times and I just can’t see the attraction, I very much doubt that I am any different than the rest of the population who doesn’t smoke pot right now.

Why don’t you ban booze by the way if you’re so concerned about what chemicals other consenting adults put in their bodies?
