Long term? Like how long? Pot has been smoked for ever.
I have very mixed feelings about this topic. Weed is illegal but seems to be very available so the laws are not preventing people from using it. So, at some level I understand the idea for making it legal and generating tax revenue from it.
Intoxicants kill a lot of people every year so why make them more available? Alcohol kills more people every year than guns and I dont hear anything about changing alcohol regulations, but a lot about gun restrictions....

Im not partaking of this shit, from '74 to 79 was pretty much a blur for me, between the pot, alcohol and just partying, Im amazed Im still alive.
hell, if I had invested half of what I smoked and drank, I could have retired 20 years ago.

Long term heavy use has never been studied because it is illegal to study it and possess weed. No formal studies on it have been done. Essentially we are giving it to people not knowing the effects. Also the weed of today is much much stronger because of selective breeding and hybrids.
There are reported illnesses with a bulls up of THC in your system. It’s been reported pretty extensively in Colorado and causes severe vomiting and stomach pain.

Because of money and you can’t scare people into being afraid of drinking.

The original plan was to highly regulate production with a barcode on every plant, Sellers would have to become agents of the state. Buyers would have to register and be tracked. Now please remember, they now have a database of your pistol license. A simple query to match the names of Marijuana buyers against Pistol Permit Holders could be done in oh I don't know milliseconds.

and this is why the illegal trade will continue to flourish. The illegal pot is just as good, but cheaper and without being tracked

Totally agree, it is a fekin weed that grows wild on every continent except Antarctica. It was made regulated taxable agriculture produce that required a tax stamp to possess and sell like alcohol. I'm sure the arresting and convicting of people in possession has ruined more lives than the "reefer madness" the plant produces. Funny, if you smoke cigarettes you are a lowlife pariah how long before pot-smoking restaurants become vogue. I quit smoking tobacco in 2009, I won't even smoke a cigar out of fear of going back to cigarettes. A joint is out of the question. Edibles, brownies, gummys hmmmmmm. Tempting.

Its not the governments or my place to tell people what they can and can't do, provided they don't kill or steal to do it. That is liberty either we have it or we don't. You don't like pot don't smoke it . Alcohol is 1000 times worse for you then pot is yet people drink themselves stupid on daily basis and the world goes on.

One of the objections to Pot has always been LE on how to tell if a motorist is stoned or has a buzz. There is no real world way to test for pot.
Honestly, I have a couple customers that grow there own, and every now and then they give me a "tip" of a bud, I never insult them by refusing, but if I smoke a bowl right now, I'll be asleep in 5 minutes

There's people out there driving on all sorts of prescription drugs, people are driving on pot anyway, there are ways of telling if people are under the influence, I dont think people driving on pot is going to be a huge deal.One of the objections to Pot has always been LE on how to tell if a motorist is stoned or has a buzz.

There isn't going to be a huge influx of new users , you would probably be surprised how many pot smokers there are out there , doctors, lawyers , engineers its not just scrubby hippies.

It should be legal as should marijuana.
And untaxed.
Never heard a compelling argument against either.

Selling is legal, fucking is legal, why isn't selling fucking legal? -gc
That's 100% false, but even if it were true, you should have every right to put anything you want into your own body, good or bad.
Wanna make dope legal? By all means, do it. Do not make the tax payers fund any part of it. None what so ever. When they were talking about this a couple of years back, Cumhole was talking about a new office within the State. Kind of like the NY State dope cops. That will cost a lot of money. Do not make me or other tax payers pay for it. Not one cent. If dope smokers do turn to a different drug because the dope high is not enough, do not use tax payer funds to save them, allow them to complete their choices and allow them to perish.

In all honesty, I don't disagree with you.

and you should have the right to refuse putting anything in your body that you don't want, you know, like a vaccine
I agree, but you say that like there wouldn't be agreement?
That's where towing a party line hurts everyone.

Smoking weed may expose you to some of the same toxic chemicals found in tobacco smoke, a new study finds.

Still a federal crime. Anybody who takes this bait does so at their own peril.
Breaking: Cuomo Announces Plan to Legalize Marijuana in New York
Gov. Andrew Cuomo will legalize marijuana across New York State.wpdh.com
Makes sense since he's obviously been smoking it for years. Won't stop the spending problem though.

Of course he is his state loosing out on the Taxes. I don't give a flying fuck what an adult decides to smoke in their own home. But remember according to NY if your a pot user your not permitted to own firearms. I have no need for the crap but Dems love it the pot heads are the ones who vote for legal drugs and free govt checks.
I expect a background check for pot use and permit to smoke. Smoking weed is an adult privilege.

Probably should outlaw potato chips too then.
I'm all for legalizing it. Personally I have no desire to smoke it, but it's not my choice what other people put in their body.
Ironic how if it's related to firearms everyone here cheers states ignoring the feds, but if it's MJ then people are against it. More freedom is more freedom, you can't be the freedom people and then cry about more freedom when it happens.
Do you think alcohol should be prohibited, then? Given all the people who get hit by drunk drivers?
And I know that this line of reasoning/argument is beating a dead horse, but that seems to be what you are implying. My view is people are either going to be accountable for their actions and behavior, or they are not. We have laws in place to deal with people when they act in a manner that endangers or harms others. I think that outlawing substances misses the mark.

Lost the source, but monkeyface previously tried to legalize pot. The attempt failed because they couldn't hammer out the details of a tax scheme. For these animals, it has nothing to do with whether it's right or wrong for pot to be legal, just whether or not they can make money off it.
So you are in favor of banning the AR-15 because people might lace it with an auto sear?

Where do you up with a stupid comment like that
And most [ not all] AR 15 pattern rifles are made with a sear block
