Another downside to pot legalization is that drug dealers have now shifted to heroin as they're primary drug to push.
That's why I think all drugs should be legalized. Drug prohibition is stupid.
I've said that very same thing to people ... And the looks I get are like "are you nuts" ...my guess these same people opposed to legalization have vices of their own, fucking hypocrites.
Yes totally agree ...

The hell? At my dispensary, I'm paying anywhere from $45 to $75 for an eighth.
Hrrmph!
Yep, and it's gone up over the years. Just for curiosity sake I did the math. In 1970 you could by an ounce of weed that had a 1/3 the potency of today's stash for around $15. Which means the same amount of pot measured by potency cost $45 an ounce in 1970 or $5.62 an eighth in 1970 dollars. Multiply by the inflation factor and you get $34.80 in today's dollars. The average cost at your dispensary is $60-- almost twice the 1970 rate!
On the other hand, in 1970 you could get a little sack of Bull Durham tobacco, rolling paper included, for ten cents-- 62 cents in today's money. I don't think you can even get cheap rolling paper for 62 cents today.
All, of course, assuming my statistics and math are correct.

Haha, I'm watching the RNC platform committee meeting (but should be sleeping) and some millenial members are trying to put pro-medical marijuana policy in the Republican platform. Imagine. The old fogeys are voting against all the amendments.
