I predict more kids using it, more kids dropping out of school or otherwise throwing their lives away, I predict ultimately much more crime as people that grow the junk, sell the junk, etc will be robbed repeatedly, and that to buy the junk, more people will turn to theft to afford it....
not to mention the whole moral demiss of our culture of being stoned....
any financial "gain" will be washed away with an increase in crime, coming soon, increase in ER visits, and an increase in inpatient treatment centers....
and, I want every single "alcohol" related incident to also be investigated for weed use, since I believe a high percentage of the "alcohol" incidents are also weed incidences....
there can come no good by allowing and encouraging people to be stoned, more laid back, less involved in life....no good at all...
Because alcohol by itself makes one more responsible and one's reflexes sharper?
It is likely that a lot of DWI arrests are due to drivers influenced by alcohol plus one or other illegal substances. Unless the driver has contraband on him, the arrest is generally based on blood alcohol levels, which are easier to obtain through breathalyzer tests. Blood tests take more time, which means higher personnel costs.
Like what happened in all the other places that tried legalizing pot.
