I recently took a trip to colorado mainly because of the marijuana being legal. It was an amazing experience and I hope more states start to adopt this policy. I was basically high 24/7 while enjoying the amazing scenery in that state just a beautiful state. Rocky moutains, pikes peak and garden of the gods just amazing. They invested I think it was 2 million into their schools from the money they made and that was only some of it.

I think one day we as a society will look back at how we treated drugs and drug users and just laugh at how ridiculous we were.

It's wrong way to make money off weed. We don't need another substance that's alters your mind. Are country is consumed about drugs, it will not help our country. Just bring people to be in a fanstasy world. Yes I know weed is not bad for you and it's not like being drunk. But we do not need regular joes to be smoking it up all the time. And parents would start doing it and next thing u know all of the kids of this generation will start smoking just like cigs. I just don't think it's good to have any mind alter chemicals , people will abuse it, some won't, but majority will. They will depend on it when times get hard, and that's not good practice of grief. They should just sell hemp rope and figure out how to make gasoline out of weed oil and that's it. Weed for high school kids being sober for men.

happy.
You people should buy some marijuana stocks. Last time with the legalization in colorado those stocks did about 600% or more

Weed was naturally placed on this great Earth for us to enjoy. To kick back with great friends and family, have a smoke and just enjoy life, rather than worrying and trying to say what people should or shouldn't do. 

Embrace the weed or simply just those who wish to enjoy this wonderful product to do just that. They aren't hurting anybody.

More drug users causing problems in Whashington streets. Sad for people who live in this state.

I hear you. I don't understand why people can't just be happy being themselves.

Very sad. If enough people do something illegal, it makes it legit. Coke next?

If you legalize it, you get rid of the black market, people getting arrested for something as idiotic as smoking marijuana won't happen anymore, you can tax it (it's a massive industry for the government to make money on), then you can start using that money on things like rehab rather than a revolving door prison system.

sigh.. the ignorance is astounding. The effects of prohibition are doing more damage then the drug itself. People are always going to smoke and studies in countries and places that have legalized have shown that it doesn't increase the the amount of users. That coupled with the fact that its effects are tepid compared to alcohol, prohibition isn't the right answer. At the same time prohibition creates a black market, fuels organized crime profits, and ruins lives for people who want to dabble in it. Why should someone who likes to smoke a joint on a friday night be treated differently than a guy who likes a scotch and cigar?

So we have prohibition, that does nothing to effect who uses it, creates a black market and fuels crime, ruins lives with punishments for petty victimless reasons, and wastes billions of dollars in the process.

vs

A legalized, regulated and taxed system that has controls and safeguards to keep toxicity additives away, and limit minors from being able to buy it. Its easier for a kid to buy weed, than it is to get booze, because a dealer isnt going to check for ID. oh, and creates millions in tax revenue. Not to mention creating a new legit industry for an economy that could sure use it.

As long as I don't have to deal with the smell or drivers that are high, fine. Do what you want.
