Question for those of you living in a country where marijuana is legal. What are the positive sides, what are the negatives?
If you could go back in time, would you vote for legalising again? Does it affect the country’s illegal drug business , more/less?
I voted to legalize it because it’s stupid to arrest people for it. That said, I hate the constant smell in public, and people seem to get addicted to it quite easily. It’s a pox on society, imo. At the end of the day, we have much larger problems on our hands.
This so much. I walk my dogs by a gradeschool and I smell it in the air every morning. Gradeschool. They aren’t even teenagers yet. At 8am. Every. Day.
Bonus points for the deluge of infused product packaging litter everywhere.
This is my problem. I don’t really ever do it, but I don’t abstain completely. My son in law thinks it’s the greatest thing in the world. I don’t really care as such, but my kids are surrounded by it and I worry how it will affect them. If it weren’t for kids being around it all the time, I’d be fine with legalization. Hell I signed petitions in support of legalization. But I wasn’t anticipating huge billboards fucking everywhere. Or the sheer ubiquity of vape pens.
Legalization is fine but I do want to see some further laws around public use and display. It has always been that I don’t care what you do within the walls of your own home, but I would very much like to keep that activity there.
