The broad road that leads to destruction.
That’s alcohol :-)
It has been legal in our state, Washington for several years and it has become an absolute nightmare. The biggest problem is people driving while they are smoking pot. People smoking pot while they are driving are completely oblivious to their surroundings and other traffic, along with stinking up your car when you are behind them.
If pot leads to destruction, then alcohol and big pharmaceutical already nuked us into oblivion.
1969 woman to her husband on the way home from church:
“What do you think is going to happen to all the hippies you see everywhere? Do you think they’ll straighten out as they get older? What a bad influence they would be on America if not.”
legalzie pot but outlaw tobacco and vaping.
Truly we have a collection of remarkably stupid people
My issue is when people do it in public places and there’s no cop around. We have to take matters into our own hands and the left gets into our way. Trump should call for a national stand your ground law. Cops are overburdened.
I’ve not touched the stuff since 1977 and think it is stupid and destructive. I also think alcohol is far worse. I’m for legalization and have been for about a decade now.
As with prohibition, sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.
BTW, I live in the heart of what used to be called Cornbread Mafia territory.

The song “Copperhead Raod” could be this county’s biography.
On a side note, some of the people in my sunday school class has been Tobacco growers for decades. They just switched to Hemp this year. The dad has had to miss sunday school a few times because people try to steal their plants.
Alcohol is not a gateway drug, Pot is.
Uh huh...It that were the case you’d have tens of millions slamming heroin...
Michigan just legalized it. I am totally against that but who listens to me?
I am certain some will be so loaded on weed as they drive they will approach our cars headon and feel like they can make the car fly over us. We are in deep trouble.
Gallup measure 60% two years ago.
I suspect the majority will never go above 90%.
But you can take this to the bank: The federal prohibition, and listing as schedule 1, will end within the next 5 years.
And those who are opposed to legalization will have to either deal with it, or convince a similarly overwhelming majority to overturn it.
And this is not your parent’s marijuana. Today’s is about 8X more potent than the stuff decades ago.
Geez, how many potheads are on this site?
No one will give a crap when the Marxists take over. Just take another toke on that doobie.
How is it that WA has one of the lowest rates of traffic deaths among the states?

I don’t. All of my dope-smoking friends from high school ended up in bad places.
But it’s abundantly clear to me that this is GOING to happen.
I do support medical use. Has to be less damaging than opiates for people with chronic pain, chemo patients, etc.
It’s not legal in Washington according to the federal govt. don’t do a NICS check and expect to get a firearm if they know your buying cannabis. Or keep your pilot’s license.
The problem with that statement is that alcohol has been around since rotten fruit. Legalization of mind altering drugs other than alcohol represents an acceleration, not just a continuation of something. Should such a thing be encouraged or discouraged?
