In 20 or 30 years we should be able to see if legal marijuana becomes a basic, virtually harmless part of a culture (like scotch) or if it has a steadily degrading effect on family structure, work ethic and life expectancy.

I see states like CO as a science experiment.

And, for what it’s worth, I think the federal union of the several states was constructed for exactly this sort of situation — what works? what doesn’t work? Watch and learn from your neighbor.

Problem is now that it’s legal in Colorado it isnt good enough. People are looking for stronger and stronger stuff. A good friend who’s a parole officer there says that this stuff called tar is now the rage. Little towns are overrun with this kind of crap. Where does it end? Within a 10 mile radius where we have a summer retreat in the mountains there are no less than 5 some sort of pot shop; edibles, medicinal so on, plus the dumb ass neighbor that sells it out of his home because he claims some sort of sickness that gives him the privilege of growing it. Night and day there’s some scuss bag up and down our used to be desolate dirt road. Once a beautiful getaway is dotted with trailers, lean tos and communes. Trying to sell and get far away.

Absolutely! Let's hear it for state's rights!

It's the only argument for diversity I've heard that actually makes sense.

virtually harmless part of a culture (like scotch) [...]

How was that again?!

How many lives has alcohol ruined? What tremendous socio-economic toll has alcoholism taken? What are the health costs?

Regards,
