New York to legalize pot

[Holkeye]

I know its for medical purposes. But you must think about the repercussions of letting that go through. But seriously, I am not gonna debate. If you want to start a fight, do it else where.
And I am not illiterate. I have a higher reading level then you probably. Thanks to standardized testing, we could easily know too.

I didn't say my grammar was above average. God knows my spelling needs work. But illiterate? No.
It was pointless for me to try to be a part of this community. I thought the article was interesting but...I don't care anymore.

don't let them bother you.

Anski (Sophist) is just a d-bag in general.

I am probably biased considering I live in Humboldt County but it's not a big deal. Yeah a bunch of people here would get really upset if there was a government crack down and weed was illegalized but really it doesn't effect the economy, nor is it much of a gateway drug.

Marijuana is less addictive than coffee, and less harmful. The main problem with weed is that it is labeled as a super awful drug and therefor kids are like "dude, illegal substance yeah."

If weed and alcohol here were both treated like alcohol is in most parts of Europe we wouldn't have such a big problem with either. (Why do I throw in alcohol? Because it too is more harmful and more addictive then marijuana)

Its about time because they are starting to realize that instead of wasting money trying to stop all the illegal drug use

Yeah, and regulating the effect companies have on the environment "wastes money" so we should completely get rid of those laws, too.
