There's gonna be a decision reached soon, and it seems like there could actually be a good chance it goes through!!
the advocates for it have very very good arguments. Lowers policing and court costs, decrease criminal activity and smuggling and the like.
amongst many other things
it would be sold in stores and would have the same restrictions as alcohol. It would be considered a health risk like cigarettes and alcohol, but would not be considered illegal.
the arguments against are mostly weak. I do not agree that more people would smoke it. It would lose a lot of the "cool" stigma and, though it would prolly shoot up at first, it wouldn't be long before it dropped at least to the level of cigarette smoking.
The one argument against legallization that I have heard and which is almost enough to outweigh the advocates is that pot is often a stepping stone to higher drugs.
So even though I agree that it is less harmful than alcohol is many many ways, there is that particular risk factor.
What do you think?
it would make life a lot simplier in that it would crush the core of many big smugglers and such.
Millions would be saved
But there are good aruments against as well
