it became illegal for business reasons, it's become legal again for business reasons

Everything should be legalized, but with punishment for causing harm (or potential harm) while partaking.
 
 
Disclaimer: I do not partake in alcohol or drugs, but recognize a person's right to do so.
If they harm themselves, it's their circus their monkeys. But don't harm someone else.

I, er, I mean, a friend once smuggled pot into British Columbia enroute to a gig.
 
It was just because I, that is, "he" didn't know anyone at the destination to procure some from. At the border, the agent asked if we had marijuana, to which we gave the proper reply. Then he added "we don't go for that stuff here", which made me smile. I wanted so badly to tell him that no one brings pot into BC. After all, everybody knows the good stuff comes from BC.
 

you go to jail for it here in utah.

I don't associate it with anything that means anything. People will be people. I have no "angst". I am always sad to see any substance overtake a person to the point that they aren't themselves any more. Substances have a way of doing that.
Never floated my boat. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe I missed a lot of fun. I'll never know now. Heck, I barely reason well now. I can't imagine adding that into the mix for me

car accidents are up 6% in states that have legalized pot.  We'll see what happens in Canada.  I'm dubious.

I wonder how much the accident rate went up when alcohol became legal in the U.S. after prohibition.

I live near a park . I sit outside with my dog and watch groups of people smoke weed in public all the time ...
When it is time for them to go home all they get into their cars and drive off just like nothing happened ...
That part of things I'm not cool with ...it seems pretty selfish that they are so willing to put other peoples lives at risk.
I have to sit on my hands all day long because I may need to drive or I may need a clear head to be out and about ...
I won't even touch the green until I know I'm only walking or just staying inside my home for the remainder of my day
