I grew up in Colorado and got my medical marijuana card the second I turned 18. I dealt with a lot of depression, anxiety, and generally messed up circumstances while growing up. If I didn't have access to weed, I would've coped with another substance - probably alcohol. I'll admit that I did indeed smoke way too much weed growing up.... but looking back, I'm so glad that I was a stoner vs an alcoholic. It really helped me maintain a baseline quality of life despite all of my problems. It's a complicated subject for sure.

Oh the party alignment.. Democracy can bring gambling on realities rules of ethics. Just have people think as badly as you do. Weed is harmful its a smoke. You bite the dust and so do the second hand smokers. Medical marijuana is not something im educated on but im not a full ban type of person if need be. Ethical Utopia is a saving truth. You people have no idea how your health and government is a gambling system with the risks of democracy, industry ploys and fraud/scams powered by poor regulations. This effects your health and your enlightenment. Theres revolution in the future. If you reject my words you're confused and uneducated on the idea. Heres an idea for you to start with. In ethical utopia no products and services for healthcare are allowed to create harm through frauds, lies, and ethical follacy. through this system everything else is ethical and NOT in a karen way. Everyone even people in third world countries gets manuals to increase their self wealth and support them. This doesn't ruin the economy it gives it the ethical adjustment our world needs. Like i said no karen behavior just justice for the world. If you're worried about your unhealthy coping mechanism theres a lot more to be worried about and coping for trust me. You are probably suffering right now from regarded issues and biting the dust of some unhealthy addictive coping mechanism. Band together and spread awareness for ethical utopia

Yeah. I've heard of stories of people who quit weed and they'll tell their friend, "I'm quitting weed. But don't worry. We'll have a beer." Not that the person who was told that was forced into it, because everyone has freedom of choice. But then the person who was told that we'll have a beer, then gets caught for drunk driving. His friend also may get caught drunk driving too. It's a double standard in the worst way if you ask me.

The main reason weed was illegal in most states was because the system wasn't making any money off of it. Same reason why prostitution is illegal but strip clubs and brothels aren't. Technically the government wants anything that can't be taxed illegal. That's why you can't just go and hunt for food, cause think about it, if you're hunting for food that's less money being circulated into the system cause you're not spending money on food at the grocery store, so they figured "okay, let's make it to where hunting without a license is Illegal and we're gonna make it cost money" and hell even collecting rain water is illegal in some places. Same thing being if you're collecting rain water you're not going and spending money on water.

Added note: And the real reason they didn't want to legalize it was because why would they give the people something that would actually help them? The whole thing about the government INTENTIONALLY poisoning people so they or their insurance have to pay a shit ton of cash for medications just to survive is a real thing. They want people to pay for drugs that "help" but cause extreme side effects and fucks up other parts of your body so they can prescribe more drugs to "counteract" it. Do you know how much medications cost? I remember me ex girlfriend had tons of medications and she'd get mail telling her how much her insurance paid for these medications and ONE of the bottles by itself was over 150 dollars.

Need to do some research if u think it's about control.. In the late 60s early 70s the US War machine was in decline. After 100 plus years of waging war and keeping the financial war chests full the industry saw the writing on the wall. It was time for a new war and new profit sources. Local and federal law enforcement budgets increased 10 fold through the next 40 years. Same with prisons and incarceration facilities. The control aspect is a non entity. People don't care what other people do. They only care about themselves and how much money they have. It's always about the money.....

Instead of saying "The time for marijuana prohibition is over", it would be more accurate to say "Prohibition of cannabis should never have happened". Anybody who looks into why it was made illegal in the first place would conclude that it is because of: ignorance, greed, racism, and to some extent religion. I've often wondered if our govt would ever get it right with regards to cannabis legalization in my lifetime (I'm almost 70) and I remain doubtful at this point in time. What I see happening is that groups that have been against legalization for decades are not interested in legalizing it because they believe they can profit from it. They disgust me!

It was never about the public safety it was about weaponizing the legal system against their political enemies supporters. Originally they did it in California so that they could arrest Mexicans and seize their property because it was common among their people to smoke it. Later Nixon thought about legalizing it but it was a convenient way to keep the hippies in line and people of color because they also smoked it so they could arrest them and throw them in jail. I suspect the only reason why they have been allowing it now it's little more than a distraction so that people won't notice what they're really up to. I don't care either way I've been smoking since 1976 I have no intention of stopping.

I've had no negative effects what so ever except eating too much.

And it's so fkn rare, there's hardly any medical options for treatment and management.

I like to also add that my older brother was walking down the side of the road and was run over by a drunk driver and killed him.

Well, if you had 12 shots of alcohol, if you were stubborn, you might be able to down them all in five minutes; you also might die doing so. If you have 12 joints, and start smoking them, by the second one you are hungry and by the third, you are too intrigued with the pattern on your ceiling to reach over and light another one. It "self-regulates". Edibles you have to be careful with; and I do eat them, but it is much harder to judge your intake. You don't die, aren't injured....you're just UNPLEASANTLY HIGH, until you fall asleep. Kills your party vibe. I've done that making my own; and I'd rather stick to the ones that are clearly labeled.

I do find some of the most dogmatic reefer madness, haters, are usually alcoholics. It’s an insecure thing. Meaning that they have something they can look down on others for doing.

As a New Jersey resident I can tell you for a fact this guy is correct on so many fronts. Most importantly, our recreational Marijuana market sucks! It is way too expensive. The taxes are planned to raise in the future, making an already expensive commodity more overpriced. All while allowing a select few to sell or grow. Be careful writing and passing your legalization laws, don't get duped like N.J. did.

You are 100% right you literally had to be a rich farmer in order to get into the grow industry and that is my opinion defeating the point about letting people who already were to come up in the ranks they are the ones who knew how to grow things properly with the best genetics anyways! There's a lot more science involved in genetics then just setting up an operation! But to sit there and still make any aspect of it criminal is ridiculous. As far as money goes remember it's our taxpayer dollars that fund our jails, waste our police officers ability to solve real crimes, don't even get me started on how many rapes are yet solved or prosecuted! Just like it's okay to have your own beer making kit at home it should be okay for anybody to sell it if you prefer to go to a store that's great but other than that take the criminality out of it! LOL I unrolled one of their pre-made joints that was the worst looking s*** I've ever seen oh, it was nothing but dried-up Leaf basically so that's not okay either! It's one thing to tax it but to keep raising the taxes after your revenue skyrockets is just greedy on the state's part. I mean God forbid they take that tax revenue and put it into the education system!

I remeber when they first legalized marijuana in Colorado. A man at a bar asked if I wanted to buy some weed from him and I just said, "Why would I buy weed from you when I can walk down the street and buy it from a reputable supplier?" I realized there was zero black market for marijuana in a legalized environment.

I've heard that the tobacco addiction is harder to kick than the heroin addiction. Cigarettes are still legal. Not socially acceptable in many circles, but legal. And they're just as harmful secondhand as they are to the smoker.

I'm 65 years old. I smoked weed very occasionally when I was 18. Then I became a traffic cop. After a long career in the Police, military and SIS, I'm retired and suffering from Panceatitus. I had the choice of becoming addicted to morphine or using Cannabis for pain relief. I chose Cannabis and after 3 months of smoking one joint per day, the pain just stopped. It had reprogrammed my brain to ignore that specific pain signal. I stopped using and have had the joy of being pain free for the last 2 years. Before, it was a knife in my guts, 24/7. But hey, it is LEGAL in Belgium to use Cannabis as medicine. I look at the USA and think, " you poor fools ".
