Marijuana Legalization Bills Introduced In Massachusetts

[Slipknot]

You think Americans have become fat and lazy now? just wait and see what happens if pot is legalized I don't think it's a good idea, people need to get motivated and get working hard, not get stoned and lethargic. Medical use is one thing, but recreational use is completely different, it's a drug like alcohol is a drug.

Yes, because if Marijuana is legalized, we'll turn into a country of fat, lazy, unmotivated people - with the benefit of munchie sales going through the roof.

Similar to how everyone turned into an alcoholic that beats their wife, in the 1930's when Prohibition was overturned.

Aren't ignorant stereotypes and misconceptions fun?

yep like all deadheads dropped acid and have no brain cells left.
I forgot to add paranoia.
Plenty of drunks to go around,(I don't know about the wife beating, but if you say so) I think there are studies where they add up all the costs from sicktime,loss of production etc. due to drinking or being hungover and it costs employers plenty, which in turn costs consumers.

I have stock in Doritos

There are studies. The problem is that they are financed by the same department of the government that funds drug prevention.
