shud marawana be legalized

[Yeargdribble]

Do we really need a whole thread of people just saying "yes"?

Don't worry, the cast of EoEO will say No, if only for the sake of keeping an argument going for 3 more pages.

I resent that. I'm not contentious for the sake of being argumentative.... usually But seriously, the answer is a giant yes for me.

What's the point in legalizing it? Are there really people out there just waiting for the green light to start smoking?

But yeah sure, whatever.

Firstly, yes, there are. Secondly, there are a whole lot more people just waiting for the green light to not be arrested over something so ridiculous.

I'll confirm that I'm in the crowd that's waiting for legalization. I would probably enjoy the effects of weed on occasion just like I do with alcohol... but not if I have to risk my job and my freedom for it.

I really believe the people that want to smoke are going to smoke it anyway. Who the hell actually gets caught for smoking? o_O

I don't know where to acquire any if I did want some. My mom does, but she doesn't want to risk trafficking it across the state to visit me with it. It's actually pretty ironic considering the school where I work, but I can't exactly ask my students where their source is and keep my job.

As for who gets caught... ummm... the ridiculous percentage of people rotting in jail for possession charges.

I can't even imagine the rationale behind "I want to smoke, but I can't because it's illegal."

How about the logic behind, "I don't want to potentially lose my job and have a drug conviction on my record ensuring that I'll never have another job in my field." You may think it's only a small risk, but any risk is too much for completely losing your livelihood (at least to me personally).

Are there actually employers that do regular drug screenings? o_O

Quite a few actually. I've worked jobs that had random screenings and my cousin, who is an abysmally idiotic pothead, has gotten fired more times than I can count because of said screenings in various lines of work.
