How hard is it to get pot now? I was in highschool more than a decade ago and it was far easier to buy weed than alcohol.
Legalization isn't enabling more people to smoke weed. Anyone interested in smoking is already doing it. Legalizing it gives tax dollars to the government, makes sure that the product itself doesn't contain anything dangerous, or some unspecified fillers of an unknown quantity, and stops wasting money on trying minor drug offenders. Harper loved wasting money putting harmless people in jail.
