I though legalizing it would make it cheaper... That better be premium stuff at that price!

You'd have to be buying large quan ies (>1oz) to get the "premium" stuff for $15 a gram on the street.

Not in my experience, unless you are buying it by the gram only. Awesome 1/8th (0.125 oz) are $40. Top grade bud. Or... Maybe I just know the right people?

I agree to a point, but when you venture beyond weed things get a little sticky. There are regulations in this new law stating how much weed you can carry, who can sell it, etc. How do you think that would be handled for crystal meth? No government is going to allow anybody to legally opporate a meth lab, and they certainly aren't going to allow commercial production and selling, so how do they handle the situation when somebody is in possession (even if it is decriminalized)? Or what about heroin? It's not like you can buy IV morphine at the store, so why would they allow you to buy heroin even though it isn't illegal to own?

I feel that people should be able to do whatever they want to themselves as long as they aren't endangering anybody else. But decriminalizing all drugs isn't that simple.

They don't have much choice. The law is written so that you fly under the radar. The federal government doesn't have the resources to prosecute everybody with an ounce or less of weed. How they handle weed shops opening up will be interesting though. That may not happen for a couple years though.

This is something that should be handled at the state level anyway.

Portugal decriminalized everything and addiction rates dropped for all drugs.

I've heard similar things re: this exact thing. When drugs become legal abuse lowers, why is this I wonder

Impressive conversion from fraction to decimal. Way to flex your cerebral muscle to these imps.

Yeah no argument here. That wasn't really wasnt what I was talking about though.
