California Proposition 19 (Legalization of Marijuana)

I'm just curious about what everyone thinks of this, and more importantly, what Californians of legal voting age plan to do about it. Personally I think that the passing of this measure should help to curb violence in both Mexico and US gang violence, open up our jail cells to people who have committed real crimes, keep marijuana and hard drugs out of the hands of children and young teens, and most importantly, stop sending innocent people to jail.

How do you think it'll affect the black market?

How do you think it'll affect the black market?

In the long term, marijuana sales in CA will just about entirely be through legally distributed means. This also keeps kids away from the sketchy drug dealers that will push harder drugs onto them. In the long term, this should be pretty devastating to the black markets, although there will always be people who want harder drugs, and dealers to supply them.

But it is still bad for you...

But it is still bad for you...

So is candy.

So is candy.

So is everything in excess.

Does candy quadruple your chance of a heart-attack?

If you eat a lot and get fat it will.
Does marijuana make you fat?

 

[EVH]

If you smoke too much which can make you hungry, which means that you will eat, which then means that if you smoke too much then eat too much then you can get fat.

I also highly doubt that eating a lot of candy will give you a heart-attack, more like diabeetus.

If you have type 2 diabetes, you're pretty high risk for a heart attack.

Does smoking cannabis?

Yes, if you have terrible control over your blood sugar for a long period of time. If your diabeetus is managed well enough then a chance for increased risk of a heart attack is minute.

Cannabis is kind of like marijuana increased risk for heart attack, not as serious as nicotine or alcohol. But no studies have proven it to be bad or good.

The burden is on you, so I guess you lose.

Also, I've conducted plenty of studies with my friends. The findings were increased appreciation for small things in life and open conversation.

I don't understand what you're saying, however before you seemed to imply that the use of marijuana increased heart attack risks by 400%. Care to back that up?

Didn't you know? Weed just makes you drop dead. Spontaneous human DEATH.

EDIT:
More seriously, I'm all for it. I'm just curious what effects it will have on black market not only in CA but places where it's still illegal (CO, for example, where a lot of our weed comes from CA so it seems).

I stand by the stance that I took in the last thread.

Hey hey, hey, hey

SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY

 

[EVH]

Well usually when one says cannabis, you mean eating the plant i.e. brownie or something of the such, Marijuana is the term for smoking, or so I have always thought.
