[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 233601, member: 324"] So Alaska is larger than most countries in the world and marijuana has been legal for a very long time there. Wouldn’t that be the ultimate case study to show the data of what happens to a society where possession and use of marijuana are legal?[/QUOTE] That's a purty silly statement. Alaska has more square miles, therefore they're smarter? (low whistle) Alaska has a low population density. Ask 100 or 1000 people in Alaska, if there are problems with addiction. You may be surprised at the answers. Of course, pot isn't the only drug of choice, and many others (booze for instance) are perfectly legal. But the addiction aspect is real. It's there. I will vote no, simply because I do not believe that recreational use of marijuana will improve anyone's life. Making it legal, more readily available, more socially acceptable, and taxable, does not make the life of the average man better. I just don't believe it. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Having smoked a doob, or three, or thirty, or more - I've felt this retarded feeling you're talking about. Can you honestly say that you can function just as well - equally as well, after smoking pot, as if you didn't? Consider something serious for instance. You need to visit a lawyer about the reading of a will - or maybe you need to visit a doctor about the diagnosis or a loved one - or maybe signing papers on the house you just bought. Things that we could all agree are relatively serious things. You think that you'd smoke a doob before doing these things, and you are just the same as if you're sober? Dude. If you really are, then you are about ready to graduate to something stronger. [/QUOTE]
