Oh wait....

Seriously folks, its been used for decades, the only truly bad thing occurring has been the war on drugs.

It makes me want to play the piano with a psychotic look on my face! My God I couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculousness of the propaganda in that film the first time I saw it.

Actually....if they'd have done that and called it meth madness it might have been more accurate.

Take That Maureen Dowd: I Ate 90 Servings of THC and Lived

Nice article. I agree THC can be psychedelic. And I agree it's not really a social drug. And I agree education is key. And I agree no matter how much you take it will never kill a soul.

The reason why support for legalizing is so high now because people finally realized the anti drug propoganda over the last 30 years has been absolute bull****

Our Governor is a moron, but keeps being re-elected by the Denver liberals. Anyway, what people do in their own home is no business of mine. I do have a problem seeing groups of people smoking pot at town park concerts, on ski slopes, outside public places and in front of kids. It's everywhere here, and the smell is awful. One cannot attend a public event without smelling it. If approached one gets the grand "it's legal dude" reply.

The state is making way too much money to make this illegal. It would just be nice if they would use it to cut our taxes or maybe repair a road or two.

It's funny you say that.

Anyone else notice that the people who get the most bent out of shape by marijuana legalization tend to come from the same crowd that howls endlessly whenever any curbs at all are put on the use of tobacco?

Do you think they ever notice that tobacco is a far greater social scourge than marijuana ever could be?

Probably not - that would require both introspection and a familiarity with the actual evidence.

I don't know if you and I go to the same type concerts, but I've smelled it if not partaken myself at most that I've been to, anywhere. How much that gets enforced seems to hinge a lot on the demographic at a given show. Unless something changed, it's still not legal to use in public in Colorado. I'm sure there's varying degrees of enforcement there too. There are winos peeing in alleyways everywhere too, and that smells worse.

The secret is slowly getting out too that it needs not necessarily be smoked; this does not have that smell.

Also, considering the fear of increased accidents and such, one would think it would cause more ski accidents, but I've heard of no such thing. Then again, toking up on the ski slopes has always happened, there's just little less need to be clandestine about it.

Now that it's crossed my mind again, I always thought it was interesting regarding the "legal pot will cause traffic accidents to skyrocket" that one of the cause's biggest donors was the late Peter Lewis, Progressive Insurance chairman, whose business would be negatively affected if it actually caused more accidents. Colorado's numbers suggest it doesn't.
