I agree but I don’t. That is why I used the term “mood altering”. Pot being only addictive mentally is just legalization propaganda. Don’t get me wrong. I love pot. Been smoking it on and off for almost 30 years.
We just do not smoke it as much as cigarettes to see the comparison. They are comparable because it is not about addiction, or the harm one might or might not do. We know the risks in both cases.
I will tell you this, if you drink or smoke pot while driving my company car. Your ass is on the curb. Lets focus on “mood altering.” That is why we like the stuff so much.
“its biggest impact on society has come from the shady people selling it illegally”
When it comes to making money from this type of product. There are always shady deals, right to the top. We want to avoid that. (read what I first posted again)
“and it has little to no withdrawal symptoms.”
Dude, when I run out of weed. I do not go looking for more. I prefer to smoke it when someone either offers or tosses me some or I would be high all the time. I can’t stop smoking it till it is gone. I do love it, hate the munches. When I do run out. I am in a haze for a few days.
It comes down to this. You want it legal? Are your motives personal or do you just want to make money off the “pot heads”? Get involved in the money part, make it an industry and. I bet you, it will not be legal in your lifetime. If it is? There will be so many regulations, restrictions, and piss tests. We want to remove all the hassle that we can.
