It is a $180billion source that is completely untapped. Yes I used to smoke but I have been sober for 2+years and I consider myself sober because it is a drug just like caffeine in your coffee or alcohol. I am very torn on this issue.
This when done properly will create thousands of jobs.
I hate when people say “oh em gee its not legal I don’t understand how you can do something illegal.” There are things you do everyday that aren’t legal. For example have you ever driven a car and not used your blinker? Or when you come to a complete stop and want to turn onto a double laned road you turn into the second lane? These are both illegal but people do it everyday.
I also understand that by this I am saying rape and murder should be legal because people do it everyday….that is not what I am trying to say however. What I am trying to say is that we let people drink alcohol which is extremely harmful to your kidneys in excess and we let cops drive home after going to bars, we let people speed (until they get caught), there are so many things we let people do that can do so much more harm to people than marijuana.
I would say that if it were legalized I would start again but I don’t think I would because I just don’t want to. But that doesn’t mean I don’t think you shouldn’t be able to do it recreational like a lot of other dangerous things.
