Imagine if it was completely legal in the states that are voting on it today.

Passed in Mass

Exit polls are showing it may very well be fully legal in colorado!

 

[snoseek]

Yay Mass!!!!

Hopefully NH happens in the next two years. With our state motto, we should have been the first New England State.

No kidding right? NH is super quirky like that. sometimes no rhyme or reason in NH.

local news is saying 52% are in favor vs 43%. It looks like this may happen.

That is why it should be fully legal just like alcohol, and taxed.

Wait, you mean there may be refer on the streets of mass?

Yes there will be. I was living in Denver when it was passed and watched what happened. It was such a horror that Colorado as a state decided to just legalize it.

Prohibtion and the war on drugs are an epic fail.

Well I can't say people here in Washington are exactly jumping in the streets. There seems to be more of an attitude of, "we did what?! yesterday?", like a blackout from drinking the night before. Now the questions come.

-How do we as a state legally wrangle with DC?
-How do we educate people to the dangers of pot like with what's done with alcohol and tobacco?
-How do we test drivers accurately determining what constitutes impairment when no data exists due to the scheduled banning of the substance?
-How do we regulate the infrastructure from production to sale? How do we etc. etc. etc.

At least this showed the support and opened the discussion... REALLY opened the discussion. It'll be 30 days until being officially state legal. In that time the federal lawsuits will be filed to block the law and the highway money spigot will be shut off. God only knows what the weed growers in BC to he north and Humboldt County, CA to the south are strategizing right now. I'll bet its "stay the course, not much is gonna change."

As far as the general public is concerned, I think their attitude is "no thanks, I'd rather keep my job than get high." On the morning after, I sort of have a bad idea about this whole thing.

You should never do any drug and drive, but being high on pot is a lot easier to drive then after drinking alcohol.

Yup, just like the general public has the attitude of "I'd rather keep my job than show up drunk at work. But in the privacy of my home at the end of the day...."

At the end of the day, you can tie one on pretty good drinking and pass a breathalyzer the next morning.

At the end of the day, you can have a few bong hits and fail a urine analysis for up to three weeks.

I'm not sure of the language of the specific laws, but I was under the impression, that these newly passed laws merely decriminalize possession of an ounce (or some other amount). Meaning that the states will no longer prosecute people for possession. The Feds can do whatever they want....but when was the last time that you heard of a Federal prosecution for possession of an ounce. Plus, I believe the Feds have directives under Obama's Justice Dept. to not prosecute possession only distribution. The Feds can, if they are so inclined, prosecute someone for possession under the Federal laws, but after last night, it seems that may be at least 4 years into our future.
