Seems that we went through this once before when the public found a way to obtain recreational alcohol........in fact, we still have recreational alcohol available.....which leads to alcoholism (addiction), disease and the unnecessary slaughter of our friends, family's and friends on both the highways and during moments of rage. I think the experiments in CO and WA will reveal that there is a ton of money that can be made by government through taxation and attitudes might then change.

And now you can add Alaska, Oregon and the District of Columbia to the list that voted to allow recreational marijuana, in addition to the 23 states that now allow medical marijuana. Fifty-seven percent voted in favor in Florida, unfortunately that fell just short of the sixty percent required.
