Quote:I don't consider weed hardcore...so I'm not talking about weed.  Legalize it, I don't care.  I still won't buy/use it. < which kind of validates your point of addition rates not increasing.

 

As far as I know, it is not illegal for me to drink beer around minors.  But, would it be legal to do hardcore drugs around minors?

 

As far as pot smoking areas at Bronco games...I have no idea.  But since smoking pot in Colorado is legal...why not?

I'm not sure about the places that have legalized and how it works for public use.

 

But simply put. Any drug used in the privacy of your home should be no one's business but your own.

HOWEVER... it is not illegal to drink around minors, it could be cause for neglect.

If you decriminalize say, heroin use, you could use it or have it without getting in  trouble. But using or having it around a minor would be illegal. Because it has been decriminalized and not legalized.

 

Personally... I don't think you should drink around young children, period. 

I don't think you should ever smoke pot or do crack around kids either.

 

As with anything, if you legalize it, the government will regulate and rule over it and tax it.

If you decriminalize you just stop feeding jails and prisons with nonviolent drug offenders.

 

I don't think in either case drug use would go up for adults or minors.

 

Why? Because prohibition doesn't work. If you want dope, you can get dope, and if you don't then you don't.

You think there is a ton of people out there just like... "man I wish this was legal so I could shoot up some smack!"

 

nah....

 

If anything MAYBE with weed you have a select population that is like "nah, if it was legal though......"
