you will always require money to purchase pot, whether it is legal or not, and it is that need to acquire currency to procure the addictive drug that is a primary driver of marijuana-related crime.

Here is the money quote, people. Just another hysteric who doesn't what the f*** she is talking about.

Now, there may actually be a correlation between legalized pot and crime rates in Colorado, which was one of the first states to legalize it. But the correlation may simply be explained by the type of people who were drawn to Colorado when the law passed - basically all of the lowlifes from the surrounding states who were chronic potheads. It's the same when San Francisco decided to give free money to the homeless. Guess what? They got more homeless! Surprise surprise!

However, this authoress claims to have science! on her side and then says that pot is addictive, demonstrating that she knows exactly jack and is still holding on to the same dumb arguments in favor of the unholy Drug War that were being used before legalization. She fails to consider any other possibility because she is emotionally invested in the illegality of pot. Why? Who knows. Brainwashing? Affiliation with the law enforcement community who have lost money and power due to legalization? The hot hunk in high school wouldn't give her the time of day and he got high once?

There are two schools of thought. One says people will obey the government regardless of what they say. They other says people will tell the government to fvck off and do what they want.

I think the second is much more common, and the more government infringes, the more people tell them to fvck off.

Long term potheads that I have had the misfortune of running into were all hopelessly addicted and even electro-shock therapy with cattle-prods wouldn’t keep them away from weed. So yes, pot is addictive and in fact anyone who says it’s not is, well, like the potheads above, who deny being addicted.

all of the lowlifes from the surrounding states who were chronic potheads.

Key word here is "chronic." It implies at least minor addiction. And, maybe, major addiction. They are so "chronic" they move to another state!

Kind of like saying someone is a "chronic" alcohol drinker or a "chronic" nicotine user. They are addicted.
