[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think when long-term marijuana use studies come out, we’re going to have a lot of regrets about legalizing it.[/quote] +1 Both Colorado and California and rethinking legalization as they have had a few decades to see the amazing affects on the general population. [/quote] Realistically what tools are there to reserve course on behavior and culture other than serious prison time for "nonviolent" offenders?[/quote] I don’t think we need to choose between the extremes of either legalizing recreational usage or punishing any and all use (including medical) with serious prison time. I have already posted on this thread about how dangerous I think marijuana is and why I think legalization was a terrible mistake. I do, however, think that it should be available medically, under a doctor’s guidance. I also think that while recreational usage should be illegal, there are other possible consequences than imprisonment that we could try, including, but not limited to: - treatment (counseling, support groups, rehab, etc.) - community service - fines - house arrest/probation At the very least, warnings (both about personal and secondhand dangers) ought to required to be prominently displayed, both at dispensaries and on the products themselves. Too many people think of marijuana as safe because it’s “natural”, when it actually poses very real and potentially severe dangers. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11499700/#:~:text=Warning%3A%20Frequent%20and%20prolonged%20use,brain%20development%20and%20impaired%20memory. Didn’t we learn anything from big tobacco? I don’t believe that the legalization movement was about relief from government repression, nor about the interests of individual marijuana users. I think it’s all about $$$, with human suffering taking a backseat to profits. [/quote]
