“Again, I’m not for legalizing all drugs, only marijuana.”
Do you do pot?
I smoked plenty of it when I was younger. Now I’m in my mid forties and about all I ever do is drink one or two beers on occasion. Pot smoking got old and so did I.
Most people don’t like it that much. I think it will end up being legalized someday and I think most people still won’t smoke it. According to the government surveys though more than half of all adults under 60 have tried it. More than 100,000,000 Americans have smoked it. Most of them didn’t like it that much. Legal or not it will never have nearly the appeal that alcohol has. Millions of people do smoke it though and many billions of dollars are spent on it. Americans consume more marijuana than all other illegal drugs combined. It’s here and it’s here to stay. It’s easy to find everywhere and it’s relatively cheap already, cheaper than beer on a per use basis for the most part. All we are doing is wasting a fortune trying to keep up the ban and we’re enriching organized crime to the tune of many billions of dollars a year and causing all sorts of other problems on top of that.
We should have legalized it a long time ago and sooner or later we will legalize it. Some folks will be like you and they’ll go into histrionics when we do legalize it. They’ll think the sky is going to fall in. But in a few years most people will be wondering why we didn’t do it a long time ago.
