On a more serious note... are people going to abuse pot if it gets made legal? Oh hell yeah, I don't think anyone would deny that but people abuse everything. Would you like to outlaw sugar and fatty by products because fat people abuse them? Neither sugar (cane sugar) or greasy fast food are a necessity and in all honesty it benefits the health of humanity, so why not outlaw it? I'd love to hear your arguments against why they should stay legal that can't also apply to things like pot.
As well, we saw what criminalizing alcohol did in the mid 1900's... it does not work.
This is exactly the reason we will see the repeal of the prohibition of pot. Maybe not now, but soon. They know they can't keep seriously keep putting money in the hands of the "bad guys" drug lords and cartels, just like the mafia during the alcohol prohibition. It's simply not working. What else is there to this argument? It's pretty baseless to be honest.
Sadly, even if this passed (which strangely enough some are saying it might because of the large bi-partisanship in Congress right now), I still can't smoke legally since it's illegal in NC/FL.
