So no one can grow their own? How will this be regulated so children can't buy it on the streets? Liquor stores prevent selling/buying on the streets.

Children have easier access to it now due to its illegal status. Dealers don't ID.

If it goes anything like Obamacare the potheads won't be happy either. They must

People who just smoke pot for personal pleasure see the "Trojan Horse" the left is bringing in!

Now that will be strange ID'd to smoke pot.......is this what people want? Being raised in the 60's & 70's I don't think this was ever the plan.

Stores on every corner?

Well, what are they doing in Colorado and Washington? To purchase it, do you not have to show ID?

I say this quite hypocritically...just looking around me.

About half the US population admits to at least trying marijuana once, with about 10% or more (depending on the survey) admitting to occassional use. The US has about 20% of the world population but uses 80% of the anti-depressant drugs. Alcohol use is widespread in the US, with something like only 21% of women and 11% of men never having used alcohol in their lifetimes.

Given all that, we are a drug using society. So just look around....some more.

Say it isn't so, Finn is "evolving" on his drug/criminality stance?

I don't know, it hasn't been going on long. Look how it went in CA......up and running and now closing shop. What is going to keep the drug cartel from cashing in on "pot shop".

Back in the day pot smokers knew they had to work for a living. Some in this generation think "society" owes them a living, so they can sit and smoke pot all day.
