Legal pot sales arguments

[TimE]

Every single pro-pot argument I have heard has been been debunked. Sure it's bringing in some revenue but it has also increased the amount of legal sales as well. Legalizing pot must have been some stoners idea.

Dumbass laws, passed by DumbAsses.

Traffic fatalities are also up. I thought stoners only drove about 7 mph? I thought pot never killed a SINGLE person? I thought it would reduce crime and gangs? I thought the blackmarket would disappear and everyone would flock to pot outlets to pay pot tax?

Just a few of the reasons it will not and should not ever be legalized in Ky.

Pot should be decriminalized nationwide. Related problems are small potatoes compared to the damage legal intoxicants (alcohol) causes.

People are going to smoke pot, that is a fact. Making criminals out of them does nobody any good.

Yep, agree.

You really want to keep folks off drugs, education is a better method that tossing folks in jail. I Also don't think the government has any business telling an adult what they can and cannot put in their bodies. Distributing to kids, yep, I have a problem. Affect others by your use of drugs or alcohol, I have a problem there too. An adult sitting in their home drinking a couple of beers or smoking a joint, none of my business.

George I nomally agree with you on most things but not so much on this one. I read the report I beleive on the Dredge a little while back and ask myself this question. If alcohol and tobacco were illegal in the U.S. and three states out of the 50 decided to make it legal do you think there would be an influx in drunkdriving,smoking and homeless in those three states?? It simply doesn't matter if X is legal or not, it is the individual choices that are made. Be it be gambling,smoking ,sex,drinking and on and on. Individual choices.

Traffic fatalities are up due to pot use? Oh do tell, this should be hilarious!

Tax it. or make gambling legal. Both will never happen here in this backwards state.

My daughter is a pot head. She is on a dead end road in life and doesn't want to get off. Sad thing is, she is raising my 18 month old grandson. She will not get a job because she will fail the drug test. She currently has her last two boyfriends in prison, one for B & E because he was looking to score some quick cash for his heroin habit, and the other for manufacturing meth in two different counties. Both are doing 2 yrs. Her two previous boyfriends did their 2 yrs too, one for manufacturing and distributing and the other receiving stolen goods which was drug related too. he's a heroin addict. They all started with alcohol and then pot so forth and so on. The police told me that my daughter will end up in their care soon because they know the people she runs with. I'm sure none of this would have happened if drugs were just legalized. Yeah right!

People make bad choices, people have bad luck, some people are weak, some people are stupid, some people are just surrounded by idiots......pot is not the root of all problems. People like to blame something instead of the hard truth that other things are wrong.

Most Homeless folks don't become homeless because of pot it's usually something else. The idea that pot is going to be the end of the USA as we know it is ridiculous. I have seen to many people function as pot smokers so yeah I am on board with legalizing it. Tax it like any other product and move on.

To me alcohol abuse is the worst thing I have ever witnessed to ruin families and relationships...via abuse, DUI's, deaths by DUI's and many other problems. Legalizing pot should free up billions of dollars trying to stop it from being grown and smuggled into the USA. Wonder where the Feds will end up wasting that money??
