Vermont Governor on Marijuana Legalization: It’s What ‘Enlightened States’ Do

[WDIM]

1. "It makes you kind of goofy and unproductive. "

That is such a lie and a stereotype Just look at the number of millionaires that use cannabis.

He is right though the arguments against legalization do not stand to reason. I have not heard a single solid argument on why it should be illegal.

"Its dangerous for kids" (i dont believe that it is) but so is a million other common household items. so is football and sports. So is going for a car ride. Regulation helps to keep it out of the hands of children more so than prohibition.

"it makes people lazy and unproductive" not true thousands of very successful users would show otherwise. It helps with job related stress and injuries. Every cannabis user i know is a productive upstanding citizen tax payer.

It is time for action at the national level. The federal government needs to declassify cannabis and allow states complete control over regulation. There should be zero federal involvement with the prohibition of a benign plant.

Glad to see more states becoming enlightened. We are still fighting for just medical in mine.
