In Colorado, where marijuana has been legalized the longest:
Crime rates have gone up.
Homelessness has gone up.
Businesses are having a hard time finding faithful employees who won't show up high, or not come in at all because they're high.
Headline: "Pot Fuels Surge in Safe Driving Deaths."
Kids now have easy access to it because it's being put in vending machines.
Think people don't worship marijuana? "Churches" are being created specifically for this purpose. And there are waiting lists to get into many of them.

Crime rates going up. Huffington Post (One of several sources for this fact.)
-- The article exposes the MANY false claims for crime going DOWN and how they conveniently cooked the numbers.
In a 170-page document the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, part of the federal government, has compiled data to show the impact of legalized marijuana.
In 2014, when retail marijuana businesses began operating, that in only a year:
– Marijuana-related traffic deaths increased 32 percent
– Almost 20 percent of all traffic deaths were marijuana related compared to only
– 10 percent less than five years ago
– Marijuana-related emergency department visits increased 29 percent
– Marijuana-related hospitalizations increased 38 percent
– Marijuana-related calls to the rocky mountain poison center increased 72 percent
– Diversion of Colorado marijuana to other states increased 25 percent
Homelessness, Marijuana Vending Machines and Marijuana/Cannabis Churches - easily Googled.
Marijuana Related Traffic Fatalities Numerous articles can be found. Here's one from CBS News.
Quote:
-- The study found that nearly 30 percent of fatally injured drivers tested positive for drugs other than alcohol, with marijuana being the main culprit.
On the uneducated and on the stupid and on the fearful -- groups the fecund fundies keep well-populated.
For now.
But reason, empathy, birth control and education will win the day.
Fundies know it.
Gays are people. Bi's are people. Trans are people. Lesbians are people. Questioners are people.
Fundies know they are losing the they-are-not-either battle. Hence their impotent bellows of anguish as they sink into the tar sands of historical irrelevance.
Good riddance.
One day, historians will dredge up posts from this forum to see how primitive, superstitious beliefs permeated until into the 21st century.

Dude, you so missed the boat. The only thing standing between you and the vengeance of Allah are Christian fundamentalist. You have seen what Muslims do to homosexuals haven't you?

Actually your moral compass is inept.
The ruling class has used the substitute means for thousands of years. And while they"wealthy" land owners dispute over crops, the poor starve.
Yet you come here to a forum board with a pretence of bitter empathy. Sitting in the very comfort the good Lord so graciously placed you for damm good reason.
