False. Number of daily pot users is up 22% in Colorado since legalization. Throngs of people who never used it before tried it once it became legal.
I suspect the reason that numbers are up is due to people moving to Colorado because marijuana is legal. I know at least a dozen from other states in the Midwest who have moved there for this very reason.
If people want to light up, let 'em. If you can't have sovereignty over your own consciousness, what the hell can you have control over?
Must be a day ending in "y".

hay man. The thing that stinks so bad is like your boss can still fire you for smoking pot in states where it is leagle. How wrong is that? Still a bunch of uptight old guys trying to keep us fry boys down.
My friend and I were having a conversation about this after listening to a Joe Rogan podcast the other day. The demonization of marijuana/psychedelics is completely unfounded. At the end of the day, I suspect the illegality of the substances has more to do with the prison-industrial and pharma-industrial complices than it does with their dangers.

Psilocybin
"In the end, more than 70 percent of the participants self-rated the experience as one of the five most important in their lives. Perhaps even more astoundingly, nearly a third rated it the single most important experience of their lives."
"The 12 of 15 recidivist smokers who managed to stop smoking for six months after three psychedelic sessions represented an 80% success rate—unheard of in the notoriously difficult treatment of tobacco addiction. The most successful current treatment—the drug varenicline, which reduces nicotine cravings—only has a 35% success rate."

Psilocybin/MDMA for terminal illness
More lazy unmotivated people with the munchies just means less competition. Celebrate mediocrity!

It's called context. You do realize that even water in large quantities can be harmful or kill you, right? As an aside, marijuana can't even do that.

Also a healthy dose of racism involved. Probably some worry that people would start (or continue) questioning the power structures as well, particularly with regard to psychedelics.
In 10 years (maybe less) Marijuana will be legal everywehere. The sky won't be falling and people will wonder what the big deal was. Societal attitudes are changing fast. Look back on where we were 10 years ago on gay marriage, now just called marriage...
Psychedelics will be next. The classification of psychedelics Schedule 1 (no medically accepted use and high potential for abuse) is a political statement, not a scientific one and will not endure. I suspect it will follow much the same trajectory as marijuana, with states first allowing for medical reasons. It is hard, politically, to argue that effective treatments should not be available for people w/ PTSD, or to ease the anxiety of death for those with terminal illnesses, or that we should continue to prohibit an effective treatment for alcohol addiction, etc.
Much more likely that regular users are smoking more often. Instead, of smoking only on the weekend, now their probably also lighting up at lunchtime.
Scheduled for ballot initiatives to legalize marijuana (this is only for recreational, several other states have medical or industrial or regulatory measures also):
2015
Ohio
2016
Wyoming
Nevada
Montana
Missouri
Michigan
Massachusetts
Maine
Georgia
California
Arkansas
Arizona
It is over...
"Probably some worry that people would start (or continue) questioning the power structures as well, particularly with regard to psychedelics."
I suspect this is why psychedelics were outlawed in the first place. Can you imagine how laughable all of the CNN/FoxNews/MSNBC and Madison Avenue advertising B.S. will become when even housewives are taking psilocybin as medication on a regular basis? The power structure will go completely bananas.

Marijuana smoking became legal in Oregon today. Now, losers have another state where they can light up.
It's still a federal offense, so you can't do it on federal land, which is 53% of the state. Also, this could cost Hayward Field the Olympic trials and NCAA's as an outlaw state.
Creating a permanent underclass, because putting up a million casinos wasn't enough.
psilocybin has helped me a lot. Here in NYC we have a great community called Sacred Plants NYC

you should be less critical of something you don't know much about. because we all know you don't know much about what you are posting here. i bet you're a bit more uptight than you should be and basing this post off things you've assumed are true, not experienced.

Anyone can lie on the internet.
Joe Rogan is solid.
How many of you generally use THC for athletic purposes?
I don't smoke it. I've tried probably 20 times with different stuff. Each time it makes me feel anxious and weird. People always say, oh, try something different. It just doesn't react well with me. Also, don't like the new evidence linking new strains of cannabis with mental health issues. It's actually quite compelling.
However, legalising it is a good idea overall.
