I take it you've never tried LSD.
Acid will never be a popular recreational drug like marijuana is. It's just too powerful. You can smoke some weed and go about your day. Typically, not on acid. Whereas people smoke marijuana daily, LSD is a "once or twice a year" type of experience. Furthermore, there's no great public movement to legalize it.
As far as cash cows are concerned, Colorado sold $1.3 billion in marijuana last year. That's pretty significant.
No, I never tried or will try LSD. :)
Chronic marijuana usage has been associated with mental illness, and marijuana contains 50-70 percent more cancer-causing substances than tobacco smoke; marijuana users are likely to use heroin or other more potent substances.
Like alcohol, no one knows who will become an addict. I’ve witnessed the ramifications of marijuana-induced mental illness and as an entryway to more potent illegal substances. Pot has caused the ruination of many a family. If only they had said “NO” to drugs.
