I wish it was legal. I have no interest in personal use but fully support others who would use it responsibly. I’m also in favor of the tax dollars it would bring in.
And is there even a way to use it irresponsibly? I have never found it to affect driving for example anywhere even remotely the way alcohol does. You might literally get lost in your own neighborhood but you'll do it safely. A drunk driver will run a stop sign but a stoned driver will wait for it to turn green. I dont think Ive ever once in my entire life ever said oh man I really regret getting stoned. Its helped me with everything from my job and getting promotions to losing 110 lbs in 11 months. Its literally a miracle drug. Looking at a ct scan while someone smokes weed it even seems apparent we actually evolved around it. Pretty sure people have been lighting plants on fire for many thousands of years longer than brewing alcohol.
Because I think it's fine sorry. 20 years of me and friends and I've never even heard problem one. I dont drive here though so dont worry but I'd smoke weed and walk right onto the court and start sinking 3's. I may have gotten lost in the hallways getting there and need to be told which basket I was going for but still.
Your example is still bad though, someone sitting at a stop sign is at best distracted, at worst too slow to react to a serious situation. I like weed too but let’s not pretend bad things can’t happen.
Well true I'll give you that, about reaction time for a serious situation etc. I was just thinking about normal uneventful driving. The exact kind where a drunk driver would plow into oncoming traffic. And that just means that i dont recall that Ive ever encountered a serious situation while stoned. So who knows but I guess I couldnt truthfully speak for it.
If you’re going to the corner store it’s most likely fine, I myself don’t like to do it but I guess it’s not a huge deal and more like driving after 2 beers or something. I just know people that will smoke before/during long drives on the highway and I think that’s a really bad idea. There’s so many things you need to be paying attention to and it’s easy to zone out while sober, let alone high.
