[QUOTE="Lil, post: 656507, member: 17309"] Truthfully, I was always pro-legalization. I've smoked pot a time or two in my youth. It was offered to me at someone's home. I didn't buy it, I didn't grow it, I didn't have it in my home, it was in his...because it wasn't legal I would never have bought it , possessed it on my own or had it in my home. I haven't done it since because it's illegal. My ex tried to grow a plant once. I dutifully watered it - daily - with Diet Coke - until it died. Why did I do that? Because it's illegal. But then again, I would never become hooked. I drink, rarely. At times I over-indulge, and in my youth frequently, but I did not become an alcoholic. Now, my son is another matter. He says he has not smoked pot in more than two months...but there was a time when he was your basic stoner. We called him Towelie (like from South Park). But there was nothing funny about it. Anyone who'd going to be like this does it with it illegal. I don't see how it will be any worse legalized. If it were legalized, regulated, taxed and made mainstream...at least there would be some good coming from the taxes. Who knows, maybe our kids would be more inclined to get jobs so they can pay for it if it's legal? Maybe...if it's legal, they'll be less likely to use other, still illegal, drugs? I'm rather certain that they'd be less likely to smoke synthetics, if the real thing were legal and less expensive. Our son smoked synthetic mostly because it is readily available. [/QUOTE]
