You state, “few if any people responsible enough to avoid pot when it’s illegal will suddenly become irresponsible enough to not only use pot but render themselves unemployable (whether through employer testing or stupefaction) when it’s legal.”
That’s not a fact. That’s your supposition, and I’d say more people have abortions now that it’s legal than would have if it were illegal. Similarly, though you’d never admit it, more people will use pot if it becomes legal.

Here's some reason: few if any people responsible enough to avoid pot when it's illegal will suddenly become irresponsible enough to not only use pot but render themselves unemployable (whether through employer testing or stupefaction) when it's legal.

That’s not a fact.

Did I say it was?

I’d say more people have abortions now that it’s legal than would have if it were illegal.

I've already agreed and noted, "Abortion is much harder to hide than personal-use amounts of pot."

Similarly, though you’d never admit it, more people will use pot if it becomes legal. [emphasis added]

Just a few posts ago I said, "There's a good chance there will be more post smoking". Is something messing with your short-term memory?
