Kudos where they are deserved. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., has introduced federal legislation to protect pot users from federal laws in those states that have legalized it. California can't be but a toke behind Washington and Colorado now.

The thing is, once it is legalized, it won't be taboo anymore and taboo is the reason a lot of people smoke pot.

Once it is legal, it isn't fun anymore. How can anything legal be fun?

I seriously doubt that will be true for most people who smoke pot. A few might stop. Most will do it more openly, and perhaps more often.

Cool. Less people competing with me for jobs that require a drug test.

I don't smoke it because I don't smoke anything that requires inhalation, save for Fontana air. But I have been known to bake up the odd batch of green brownies now and then.

So, what you are saying is the Fontana air is a natural high? Must do wonders for real estate values!

Green brownies seems very incongruous. Sorta like Jumbo shrimp. Perhaps it might be more correct to refer to them as Brown greenies?

No, it's equivalent to smoking... when it's bad. Lately it's been good.

If it's legal, marijuana use wouldn't disqualify you from a job... You can't fire someone for drinking alcohol, can you?

If it's on the job, you can.

Depends on company policy. If they say no THC, then no THC
