Watch what you wish for. I'm in Toronto and there are pot shops everywhere. A couple weeks ago I was driving home and there was a friendly, dancing "marijuana" character on a main street here, like Pluto waving to kids at Disney. And there is absolutely zero effort to discourage teens from getting high. And this shit is stronger and stronger. People get stoned from a couple drags. When I was a kid it took a whole joint at least.

Not pretending to have the answer but I can tell you that more drugs is the last thing this fucked up world needs.

Agreed...30 years ago you could crack a whole blunt and be melllow for hours. Now you get a contact high and you wonder how you wound up in Vegas with a tiger in your hotel room 😏

Libertarians don't understand this. Legalizing drugs is a very big problem considering the high rate of suicide and overdosage of drugs in society.

Daddy government, please tell me more of what I can and can't do. By your logic, banning guns would result in less gun violence too, because prohibition works!

I am not for legalizing marijuana federally in the country.i am for decriminalizing it;it is not about the government but about societal order. Legalizing marijuana should be a state rights issue. Banning guns don’t work because most gun deaths are suicide and most of the cities with high gun violence have high gun ownership restriction.Order should be considered when we always talk about Freedom;you can’t get freedom if there is no order.

Wait... That was a serious comment? No one ever killed anyone to buy more guns?

The reasons I don’t think a state like Texas will ever legalize recreational marijuana are the same reasons I’d be okay with them doing it. Regulate it like they do liquor here. TABC and cities already control how many liquor licenses that can be issued. Could do the same for weed shop so that you don’t have them on every street corner and use the same advertising laws to prevent the other problems you mention. I’m neither for or against legalization. I simply don’t care any more. I am tired of the federal government telling me what is and isn’t okay though.

This type of stuff should be taught be the parents anyhow. But just my opinion
