Honest question: do you think your friends are representative of state's overall demographics?

The smell of weed hurts you? I dont get it, they breath air pollution all the time. What is bad about the smell of weed?
It’s stinky.
Your perfume and hair products are stinky and I prefer not to have to smell you.

I think that what he’s saying is that opening up the doors to marijuana use for a lot more teens would not be a good thing.
I personally don’t want to have to deal with ‘smoking weed and driving idiots’. We already haven’t figured out how to deal with all the morons who drive while staring at their phones, we don’t need to add further disaster & stupidity to that.
I'm unclear what this has to do with teens. Alcohol is legal yet teens still manage to get their hands on it. How would making pot legal make it more accessible to teens? Legal or illegal they will find it if they want it. It will STILL be illegal for them if people over the age of 21 can buy it.

Have been on the fence, but don't know if I can vote for any Republican now, and I like Hogan (and voted for him last time )
It’s not a popular concept in Maryland really.

I do not believe people die from smoking pot so nice try. His death was unfortunate but it was not from a weed overdose.

I’d love the new revenue stream. How does that work though? It’s a cash only business because it’s still illegal under federal law and banks can’t touch the cash....

But I am not voting for Ben Jealous regardless of his views on weed. My Takoma Park neighbors would be shocked, I’m sure.
Based in Jealous's poll numbers even in MoCo, you probably have more neighbors than you think planning on voting for Hogan.
Oh, I agree. But the ones with Jealous and Elrich signs in their yards would be shocked.

It sure is a minus that Hogan wants to widen the beltway for more cars, rather than focusing on more trains. If people can’t help but stare at their phones while driving they most likely view driving as a waste of time whereas if you’re on a train (one that isn’t miserably over crowded) you could more easily multi task.
