    If it's legalized in California then it's only a matter of time before it spreads to the rest of the country. As soon as the phat taxes start pouring in by the millions other states facing massive economic pressures won't have any choice but to follow suit. :eek:

    I was just listening to this on the news. Spamcan is right though, its only a matter of time before the other states follow suit.

    I wonder what the driving laws will be like if your high. I believe for people that use it medically have to wait an hour before driving or sumthing. Also you know how most jobs require drug tests..... I wonder what that will be like too.

    One repercussion of legal weed will probably be the widespread roll out of a "breathalyzer" technology developed by Phillips last year that can detect cannabis as well as other substances within a persons saliva. Right now this is the only way they could charge someone for DUI of marijuana but the machine doesn't take into account that the drug can be detected for weeks after smoking while the effects last at most a couple hours.

    What if the ounce is only $200-$300? I could live with that.

    If it was between 200-250 I guess I could live with that too. But I can see them charging 300+ and then taxing you on top... Ounces of good herb at the club's out here are generally 300+ and that's kinda pricey all things relative.

    Affirmative, but I don't have the money for some $400 kush, or what ever the insane price is for the stuff. I'll take some standard headies for $300 with tax included no problem.

    As much as I'd like it to be cheaper right of the bat, I'm just happy we're moving forward.

    Yeah at the end of the day I feel the same way, it's a great milestone. My inner-cheapness will get over it.

    Just as a note, not everyone who smokes gets chilled out and happy. some get paro and upset. Just depends on how much a gripping hold on reality they chose to keep.

    I think that this is something to keep an eye on. I think that a major problem with legalization (as opposed to decriminilization) is that the education still isn't there. While i'm happy that people who would want it for use would have easier, legal access to it, i would also be concerned, that, like alcohol or tobacco, some people who didn't know what they were getting into would get hold of it and have a poor, uneducated experience.

    In Canada, medical marijuana is legalized, and the cost is affordable and the quality incredibly good. I would think that it would end up being the same, otherwise they wouldn't be able to stop the black market for it: people would just keep going with their dealers who were getting them OK stuff for a reasonable price. That would be my thoughts on it.
