Marijuana..... (Page 2)

O.k.  So I will look at this from a different perspective.  

I do think it should be legalized...  But...

As someone living in Colorado,I do have some issues with legalized pot.  I hate the smell of Cigarettes, and I hate the smell of pot even more.  I am truly sad that you can't go anywhere without smelling pot now a days.  I was leaving the Mall the other day and the parking garage smelled like pot.  I was going to my daughters dance competition and smelled pot near the Auditorium.  I turned into my neighborhood the other day and the corner house reeked of pot.  You can't even go to any outdoor festivals because people are smoking pot.  I've seen people smoking in their cars.  Many of my favorite running trails seem to have lots of pot smokers on them.  I don't enjoy going to concerts anymore because even in indoor arenas people are smoking pot.  It sucks.

Yes, there are laws about where you can smoke, but guess what, people that smoke pot don't care.  And cops don't feel it's worth it to enforce the law.  So people like me who don't drink, don't smoke and don't do drugs suffer a decrease in my quality of life, and honestly I find myself furious that I have to put up with this stuff.

For the first time, I've considered moving from Colorado because it probably won't ever get better.

I find it amazing just how bipartisan this issue is. There are red and blue states that are pushing for at least medicinal legalization or have already passed it. AND there is now a bipartisan Cannabis Caucus in Congress.

It really is a potentially HUGE job creator if our government would just get out of the way.
