Election Poll #4 (Weed)

[emyinpink]

Yes or no?

[jennlin]

I will admit I went back and forth on this one so much. Ultimately, decided to vote in favor.

[niq]

I voted no even though i'm kinda for it. But only kinda.

Other than this one I voted straight ticket dirty hippie .

I think this is -10 on the dirty hippie scale.

agree with jennuinne. niq, you lost your dirtyhippy card.

[fiddles]

I honestly don't know. I need to read a little more.

[Kahala]

no...kids will have more access to it (like what happened with alcohol this summer) and that is no good.

[dawnyp]

I'm voting yes. I believe the illlegal aspect is what makes it so appealing for some. Legalize and tax it just like alcohol and tobacco.

I don't know for certain, but I'd imagine you wouldn't be able to smoke freely in public just like you can't drink in public.

ETA: Meaning you can't just drink on the street. Obviously you can drink in public in a restaurant or bar

[InBetweenDays]

Well, it could give new meaning to Seattle being the Emerald City. Good marketing!

But honestly I can't imagine people would vacation to Washington simply because it's legal. That would be a big expenditure when marijuana is fairly cheap and easy to get no matter where you live.

I'm still on the fence. I haven't read through the pamphlet yet, think I will this weekend. My concern is just the feds wasting resources on hunting down people in WA state over this. However, I also think the only way its really going to get changed nationally is when enough states have passed it individually.

I'm actually for it nationwide, keep it behind the counters at pharmacies just like Sudafed to prevent underage use increasing (unlike alcohol at Safeway where my neighbor said, no way was he going to try and stop the shoplifting by the thuggish kids who most likely also packed a gun).
