It could. I would assume any one who does weed is going to do it legal or not, so might as well take advantage of it and let them smoke more of it while taking money out of their pockets.

...In one way it could help bring in money as a legal drug like tobacco and alcohol. Not to mention that it supposedly is helpful in fighting many diseases such as cancer. Furthermore, using marijuana for production based purposes to create things like paper, clothing, etc. might prove more beneficial for the environment. So it could improve the economy and be quite effective at lessening tensions on the environment. Yet a part of me does not like drugs, legal or not, unless it has been tested to the fullest extent of medical science and even then, I do not like them. In short, I'm for legalization of marijuana, but very reluctantly.

It probably would. I just hope that when it is legalized they make some restrictions. Like alcohol where you have to be a certain age, and not being able to do it in public. They should also find some way to make the stuff either scent free because people come into my work all the time and you can smell it off them and there money and it the smell gives me a headache.

I agree with the rules and limitations. I don't smoke it myself but I find the aroma to be rather enjoyable. I don't see the point of scentless marijuana actually. And it certainly smells better than cigarettes... <_<

I've heard that only being half-lit can often give you a headache. Perhaps you're getting some sort of contact high? Laugh

If it had the same, or nearly the same, regulations as alcohol, it could work.

And it'd be easier to get too. >_>

I don't think the question is whether or not it would help the economy. Of course it would.

But I'm assuming it'll make it more expensive, so I'll stick with breaking the law every time I light up. It's not like most cops even care.
