Yes. Drunk people can get pretty obnoxious. I used to work around them all of the time back in the day.

I remember when I first drank whiskey and puked everywhere. Be careful out there.

Just another reason why we should ban alcohol.

BTDT

Or are you just hoping for more government support of criminal enterprise which is about all banning alcohol ever accomplished?

What is the big deal here? Someone with no physical or psychological tolerance accidentally consumes too much marijuana and is now perfectly fine? Did I miss something? You know this is nothing, right? You know that on that very same night, it is likely that hundreds, possibly thousands of people died of alcohol overdose, right?

I wonder about all these stories people are sharing about they or their friends freaking out or walking around like zombies, etc. Either they had some kind of preexisting mental condition, or the pot was not clean, or they consumed edibles or hash oil without the required tolerance. Or perhaps they just have no self-control or self-awareness whatsoever.

I'm not even getting into the alcohol comparison.
Staying on topic
What? Legalizing it, means there are rules for providing it. Before there were no rules, you could get pot in any high school in town. How does it get easier than that?

Correct. Due to the current prohibition of cannabis on the federal level it is much easier for kids to obtain, because drug dealers unlike convenience stores that sell alcohol and cigarettes to those legally who are of age, don't ID.

Sorry, I don't believe you. I am in Colorado almost half a dozen times a year for family, plus extensive traveling around the West/East Coast for pleasure and when I was a contractor. I would say people are more into the outdoor living, which is easy to see with 300 days of sunshine a year, but it's a pretty normal place. Portland Oregon would easily be on par with the most stoner places in Colorado. Same with parts of Washington and northern Cali.

Even then it's not like people weaving in and out of traffic stoned to the gills anywhere.

Even then, it's people's choices. It's those people's choices how they live...as well as your daughters. We each have our opinions and I just don't agree. I think her views are very limited either in location or experience of the area.
