All the people who used "Refer Madness" type scare tactics to prevent legalization are still at it. I am looking forward to study after study which will prove nothing but good came from legalization just as decriminalization has had a very positive effect, legalization will have a much better effect. Years from now we will all look back at these numbers and I hope we fold those ignorant fear mongers responsible for all the damage prohibition has caused.

Even though weed is legal, you can still be penalized for its use. For instance, police are not allowed to smoke it on or off duty. You will be discriminated against by not being eligible for many jobs. If you want to grow just one plant as a house plant because it smells nice and looks pretty you will have to get a very expensive license. We still have a long way to go before weed is truly legal as all drugs should be. Why would a person need a license? The president has a home brew recipe for a far worse drug he brews in the white house. It is available at the white house website. This is inconsistent at best. It is shit like that that needs to be fixed, a lot of it.

Things I see changing for the better. Literally tons of money will stay out of the hands of criminals. That is a big one. Put those fuckers out of business. Weed can be grown in the USA so a lot more money and commerce will stay in the USA. This will set a great example for the legalization of other drugs. There will be no jail time, fines or penalties for the use of weed a plant proven over and over again to be safe with positive effects especially in comparison with other legal and prescription drugs like cigarettes candy alcohol and the plethora of pills available from the pharmacist.

Nothing else will change. None of the scary predictions in fact many things will get better.

In this case weed is not the gateway drug people say it is That is actually sugar If you need some drugs to be illegal take a long look a candy sugary products, cigarettes and things like high fructose corn syrup, conveniently legally renamed as just corn syrup. Focus needs to be put on the FDA not the DEA.

I can only hope the stupid stereotype of the stupid stoner will go away. Are there stupid stoners, yes, but look at the long list of really smart people who regularly smoke weed. It is a really long list. Just like alcohol, there are stupid people who use it stupidly and people who use it recreationally and responsibly.

This is a great day for America !
