The only reasons to oppose its legalization are moralistic rationalizations of the previous generation.
Can't come soon enough. Although it has been legalizes for medical use in my state for # of conditions (one VERY close to what I have)......what I have is not legal yet.
MUS (making up stuff) syndrome!
j/k
Hopefully this will help you get what you need. I doubt it would help with mine, so I ain't even gonna mess with it.
Don't forget that when legal most people will be high driving around. I dunno man... If you smoke that shit that 10-20X stronger than what it was yesterday you can barely walk let alone drive... I think it will be interesting just to see how high the THC content can get from the plant. Ah well...
IE... Stupid people will never stop smoking it making them super stupid.
Most people that will get high when it's legal, already get high... man.
They already do give out DUIs for pot and all other illegal intoxicants.Won't be any different than those who drink and drive. If they get pulled over swerving, driving irradically, I am pretty sure the pot smell will be on them. New laws will be implemented just like with alcohol to give you a DUI for pot.

the real, safe, money is in the equipment to grow marijuana. my guess, in 10 years we see a pot growing section in every home depot.
It's legal here in Michigan by prescription. The legal stuff cost more than double what it does on the black market, not even counting "Doctor's" fee's to get the prescription. So much for that theory.
And of course it's still against Federal law, and they have shut most the dispensaries down...
Good luck either keeping a job or keeping reasonably priced health insurance. For health insurance reasons, many companies are shying away from hiring smokers, starting to monitor the amount of alcohol their employees consume, recording and tracking their employees weight, and recording and tracking the amount of physical activity their employees are getting (Virgin Health Miles). Right now they are providing incentives for healthier lifestyles, but soon (according to my company's HR department), companies are going to penalize unhealthy behavior with greatly increased premiums. We asked our HR rep about marijuana use of employees at our Colorado facilities and were told that the company is expanding drug testing. Any employees failing the drug tests, even for marijuana, would be terminated and that COBRA insurance coverage would be denied.
It doen't matter if the government legalizes marijuana, health insurance companies will dictate to the employers what is acceptably healthy behavior, and penalize you appropriately.
Smoking is being labeled a pre-existing condition under Obamacare. Higher premiums are also being forbidden for smokers under Obamacare.
Which also opens up all sorts of other interesting doors...
