"The idea would be to allow it in private homes but not in public."

They tried that in Alaska, actually. Up to 4 ounces, in your home only, was legal for adults.

Then the University of Alaska did a study in 1988 and found that twice as many Alaskan teens were using pot as the lower 48. The parents went ape, pushed for and passed a public referendum in 1990, and made pot illegal again.

Teen use dropped to that of the rest of the country. Maybe you don't care. I do.

How was the study performed? Many people who use illegal substances aren't likely to report them to someone conducting a survey.

Actually, I don't want it legal either. I was just throwing out some things absoluting neccessary if it does become legal.

Thank you for your comments.

Ummm... Alaska? What is there to do in Alaska when you're a teenager? I'd rather have them stoned than drunk off a cheap case of PBR. Which group would be more violent and have more of a chance driving wasted?

It's nice to know you are a caring person.
