Like William Buckley, I believe adult use of some drugs should be decriminalized. What say you? Zot!

Pro pot folks have been smoking too much of it...or are too stupid to understand what happens when something is “legal” or “decriminalized.”

Every tyrant in office will come up with regulation after regulation and tax after tax until marijuana is just like tobacco: legal but it’s use strictly controlled or prohibited.

Get you face out of that Cheetos bag and think!!

Legal? Really? So you want it to be over regulated and taxed like tobacco? You’ll be able to legally buy it but its consumption will be so regulated you’ll never be able to use it.

legalizing the addictive mind-altering drug alcohol did not produce a nation of useless alcohol addicts.

That's debatable.

Well, I don’t know what you’re asserting, but to clarify my position .... *YES* Legalize Marijuana for 21+ age group.

Stamp it, tax it at the federal level, then tax it again at the state, and let’s throw the City tax in there too.

So smoke a doob and go to church and praise the Lord for such a wonderful plant.

I was clear...you won’t be able to get it once it’s “legal”. Again, look what has happened to tobacco over the last 60 years.

Can’t even see actors smoke in tv/movies any longer less they get grief. Think of “Knocked Up” with no pot scenes once it’s “legal”.

If you you think I’m nuts, you don’t understand worthless politicians and the bureaucracy.

Adults can't cop a buzz now? Maybe I'm missing your point.

The people I know who are over 18 and still copping are a little south of "adult".

Wait, aren't you and I adul-- Ohhhhh, you're limiting said buzz coppage to exclude alcohol.

Don't you think some of your adult acquaintances might be more inclined to cop their buzz from ganja if it were legalized (e.g. Colorado)? See, it's the ol' alcohol vs. weed debate again.

Everyone pretty much smokes all they want without regard for "legality". It seems to be selectively ignored.

Ehhhh, don't be so sure. If weed, like beer, was available at every convenience store in town, there would be a LOT more tokers (and morbidly-obese Doritos eaters) than there are today.

“Hay...are you hungry”. Stoner Taco Bell commercial for late night tacos a few years ago.
