According to this picture,and many,many others, the lines are very long to get into mj shops here in Los Angeles.
You really don't expect us to believe all these people were smoking it before it became legal do you?
Newly legal means more people will be using it, increasing the danger of more people driving while high.
Bob.
Yes, the overwhelming majority of them probably have been smoking marijuana all along.
Something like 60% of american voters support legalization. Not all of them are users, but even if only half of them are users, that means 30% of american voters use marijuana. That's a sizeable chunk of people.
Edit: Well, looks like someone provided a link to a study which shows pot is even more likely to cause cancer than cigs.
Well, actually that will probably end up supporting full legalization for pot, or cause cigarettes to be made illegal, one or the other.
After all, cannot make one product/ industry exempt while targeting another for the same thing, if they use the cancer threat as a reason to keep pot illegal, that would be bad news for big tobacco!

There is no way to use a cancer threat as a reason to keep pot illegal because it does not cause cancer. They look really really hard for it, but can't find any. Hmmm.
50 years usage by hundreds of millions of people with no documented cases.
Channeling the racist Harry Anslinger - who's been dead for 40 years.
"In the 1930s Anslinger's articles often contained racial themes in his anti-marijuana campaign:[17]
Colored students at the Univ. of Minn. partying with (white) female students, smoking [marijuana] and getting their sympathy with stories of racial persecution. Result: pregnancy.[18][19]
Two Negros took a girl fourteen years old and kept her for two days under the influence of hemp. Upon recovery she was found to be suffering from syphilis.[19]
Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men.[20]"
The agruments againsts cigs is that it causes lung cancer, emphysema, heart issues, it stinks, etc. Can the exact same things not be said about pot? I've never smoked either, so I don't know, but cigarettes are socially unacceptable, yet pot is socially cool. Why? Thanks
They're both bad. I will never hire a cig or pot smoker.

Because = No Studies yet. That should take 40 years - 20 years for them to develop cancer, 20 years for the study.
In fact, some of the PSS USA (Pot Smoking States) are getting pressure to allow smoking back in restaurants.

I identify with the left, and I abhor both marijuana and tobacco. Neither is cool in my book. And while we're at it, I'm not a fan of drinking alcohol either. To be succinct, though, I don't believe that any of the three should be illegal for adults.
That makes perfect sense! I wish everyone would realize that just because they do or don't do/like something it isn't up to them to decide everyone else should be exactly like they are.
The one thing everyone should have no issue with agreeing on is that this insidious war on drugs has been an utter failure, destroyed lives needlessly, and lined the pockets of judges, politicians, and corporate prison systems.
It was never for the greater good. It was always designed to protect WR Hearst and DuPont's profits.
The best example of crony capitalism, political corruption, and abuse of the public trust prior to Viet Nam.
