Older what's the matter...a Five Vegas cigar..and a beer now and again.
That is a wonderful response. Did the article answer our questions..or didnt it? I gave it a good skim. If found nothing new in it.
What about those who don't behave responsibly? They are the ones that concern me.

They either were already using before legalization, or had already chosen alternative modes of irresponsibility.
It’s your body, your health, your brain cells.
Do what you will, consequences will come eventually.
Just wait until we get socialized medicine, and you'll get the privilege of paying for their medical bills.
I just want their hands kept out of my pockets.
Right you are!
He can pretend he’s a damn conservative all day long while whistling past the graveyard.
We’re already paying for it right now.
So, in your opinion, there will be no new users upon legalization? Or any new users will only be "responsible" folks who won't become habituated and zone out?
That will be an interesting phenomenon to observe.
As I said: Those who before legalization were responsible enough to not use because it was illegal, will after legalization remain responsible enough to not toke themselves into befuddled unemployability.
Scroll to the pics at "Weed Costs How Much?"
All that and member of the class of ‘98 to boot. I can just imagine how many times you may have been called druggie and pot head by the anti pot brigade on the drug threads of yore. Never did like those tactics and I don’t use. If you want to debate an issue, make your point and leave out the name calling childish stuff.
>> I know a guy ...
Not everyone is blessed with existential self awareness...
If you are claiming I was name calling, please provide proof. That is not my style.
Thanks!
I was claiming you were the victim of name calling. So, tell me please, how you can misconstrue my original statement quoted again, “I can just imagine how many times you may have been called druggie and pot head by the anti pot brigade on the drug threads of yore.”?
My apologies for misunderstanding your post.
Actually I don’t usually post in these threads.
So I haven’t endured a lot of name calling.
I tired of seeing Freepers stereotype pot users and wanted to show that pot users aren’t all the same.
It’s a shame to see conservatives vs conservatives because of pot. It’s silly.
Because Illinois' politics are solidly rooted in corruption you can expect some undesirable and unbelievable events to soon follow.
This will also affect Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin in a way that was never imagined.
Like with Kookiefornia, there will still be a thriving underground market, with their wares being slightly less costly than the legal stuff, when taxes are figured in.
As for my views, as long as the libertarians are chiming in, I’m a yes for medical marijuana, no for legalization.
Just take Colorado: I believed that when pot became legal, people would simply use it less, since the dark, forbidden aspect of it wouldn’t be “daring” them.
Well, color me corrected. It would seem to me that people are using the stuff even more, and some even more wantonly, than before in Colorado. The rate of accidents on the road has apparently TRIPLED since it was legalized, so that’s what I’m basing my conclusions on. People simply can’t help themselves. Sad.
