Legally used? Illegally used? Medicinally used?
Yes.
The poll doesnt mean anything.
How does that follow?
Right now, marijuana is illegal. When it is made legal, its use will spread.
Probably, just as the use of alcohol likely spread when Prohibition ended - but the latter spread didn't lead to "A nice drugged out permanently unemployed population" and there's no reason to think the former would be different.
There will even be pressure put on companies that refuse to hire on the basis of use after it is made legal:
Even supposing this is true - and you've provided no judicial precedents to support your claim - the solution is to amend the legalization bill to exclude this possibility, rather than to quash legalization.
“Probably, just as the use of alcohol likely spread when Prohibition ended - but the latter spread didn’t lead to “A nice drugged out permanently unemployed population” and there’s no reason to think the former would be different.”
Now, why would I think the possibility of a drugged-out, permanently unemployed population is impossible:
1. 99 weeks of unemployment
2. SNAP cards
3. Obamaphone
4. Obamacare
5. Section 8 housing
6. Record disability filings
7. (Not here yet, but on its way) - Student loan forgiveness
Nope, the possibility of a drugged-out, permanently unemployed population just couldn’t happen. I know Vodka is killing Russia right now, and talk about a drugged-out, permanently unemployed population, but the legalization of pot is part of the deal.
