Wait never mind my skins not dry, never is. Hey I need some water for my bong. Wait, got that covered, I'm in the water. Who's bong smells like chlorine, never mind its mine.

Drugs are bad mmmmkay.
I love how this has gone around and around again after the election. It is like they found one person in 6+ billion people that has success beyond shift manager at waffle house and that justifies their existence. Toke up hippies, minimum wage earners will always be in demand.

i don't personally smoke or condone drug use of any kind (i voted against it), but i know people of all types who do, assuming everyone who smokes is jobless or underemployed is plenty ignorant. millions of sober pieces of shit out there too.

That is certainly true but the vast majority of those that partake regularly typically fit into the stereotype described by Danimal.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis.
Heres how I see it, All Colorado really did was vote to put a tax on it, much like alcohol. why is that such a bad thing? the revenues from the taxation of Weed will go towards providing for new roads, better pay for our state employees (which will make them want to preform better), and many other endeavors that Colorado has seen fit to do with our tax dollars. I voted for it, I dont really agree with the face value assessment of the amendment but when I dug a little deeper I decided the benefits to our state could possibly out-weigh the negative aspects of it.

Now that i'm older I see more people that live productive live, but like to smoke weed.. When I was younger the weed smokers were as described.

There is so much weed going around now. Do you really think that all of the people smoking it illegally are going to go legit and pay taxes on it?? They are going to keep getting it from their same illegal sources and Uncle Sam or the State won't see a dime.

Regardless, the state will get more money with weed being legal, than if it was still illegal.
Won't be long before the state subsidizes low income households on their Marijuana. That burden will land on those productive, working, self sufficient individuals AKA the people in this forum.

Wonder how long it will be before they are buying weed with EBT. 5 years? After all, we wouldn't want to discriminate against the impoverished and they all need their "medicine".
Careful what you wish for.
Next up: heroin, cocaine, meth in the next ten-twenty years. Did you guys know there are advocacy groups trying to get sex with children legalized too? Well, we'd hate to discriminate against that on the basis of "moral grounds". This is the road you are going down.
Classic example of the slippery slope fallacy.
In debate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debate) or rhetoric (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetoric), a slippery slope (also known as thin end of the wedge - or sometimes "edge" in US English (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_English) - or the camel's nose (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel%27s_nose)) is a classic form of argument, arguably an informal fallacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informal_fallacy). A slippery slope argument states that a relatively small first step leads to a chain of related events culminating in some significant effect, much like an object given a small push over the edge of a slope sliding all the way to the bottom.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope#cite_note-1) The strength of such an argument depends on the warrant (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/warrant), i.e. whether or not one can demonstrate a process which leads to the significant effect. The fallacious sense of "slippery slope" is often used synonymously with continuum fallacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_fallacy), in that it ignores the possibility of middle ground and assumes a discrete transition from category A to category B. Modern usage avoids the fallacy by acknowledging the possibility of this middle ground.

Weed and Alcohol should be regulated the same...... That is all, look what the war on drugs is doing? Wasting tax money and creating criminals

What I'm saying is thus: Your own arguments are easily used against you. You want to "pretend" to take the high ground, i.e. live and let live, but you all have a line. Tell me, should we take a moral ground and stop people from having "consensual" sex with minors? What age limit do you set? Should we stop the free sale and use of methamphetamine? Should you set an age limit? Should we stop people from walking around naked in schools? Why? Should we stop "post-birth" abortions, you know, say, twelth trimester abortions? After all, sometimes you don't know you don't want a kid until they reach the terrible toddler years.
Our society is gradually getting more and more "modern" liberalized. Some of you might view my examples above as sarcastic. Believe it or not there are legitimate lobby groups, scientists, modern liberals, etc. pushing for the legalization of each and every one. It's nice to imagine that we can have an i.e. fully responsible and true libertarian society, but the fact of the hand is you have to draw lines somewhere. And you better fucking damn well establish set lines somewhere or they will forever be retracting (as they have been the last 30-40 years). Thus is the "slippery slope". It is not a fallacious argument. A few years ago, we had medical marijuana under the guise that it would be used for medical prescription purposes. It easily passed, was abused, and became such a farse that now they just said screw it, legalize. What say you about harder drugs, incest, etc. etc.? Should we stay out of their business? Should parents have a right to get their kids high?
What I am saying is the arguments a majority are using here are the same arguments that support any of the above, and I sure hope that this forum isn't going to turn a blind eye and support those when the issues do come to head. And they will.....
You all want lines in our society, just many of you can't acknowledge it. If you had a live and let live society, talk to me once your kid or close family is abused by a stranger and you have no recourse. Mmmkay? Practically already is that way. Anyone with civil experience understands.
Excuse me while I jump right in. The part about comparing sex with children as being in the same class as legalizing weed is at the bottom of that slippery slope. A majority voted for weed, that will never ever happen with having sex with kids and probably not with other drugs.

I look at this like porn, guns, smoking, drinking, sex... Live Free.. just don't expect me to pay for your habits.

If it's legal, tough to make the argument for testing, but I agree. I don't want any government assistance going to someone who's on drugs.
