Does it bother you when weed is made legal?


I live in Kansas close to Kansas City and Missouri now has fully legal weed for medical and recreational use. It kind of bothers me seeing states go this way as it's as if the Goverment wants its citizens to be as dumb and sedidated as possible. Does anyone else feel this way?

No because it gives me an edge in the workforce. The stupider people render themselves, the better off I am.

Honestly, though, those same people would be partaking anyway, so I'm not sure there's much difference to society. In my view the legalization isn't the real problem, it's the lack of messaging about the potential negative effects and dangers.

How do you feel about alcohol?

It looks like Nebraska is considering legalizing it as well, so you might have another neighbor to contend with.

21 States have recreational weed, along with DC and that number has been increasing each year, so I think the best thing to do is regulate it like we do with alcohol. What I want to see is for it to be Federally legalized, so we can eventually stamp out the rampant black market. I mean, how often do with hear about bootleggers being arrested? We don't because it makes more sense for someone to walk into a liquor store and buy it.
