    So you didn't have any friends that waited till they were 21 to drink alcohol?

    Anecdotes are not evidence. Try again.

    I think you don't know the difference between a fact and an opinion. You could use some work on your grammar, too.

    neither are peoples opinions on what they "think" would happen if weed is legalized.

    Nobody knows until it actually happens. which will be a long time from now.

    Just to clarify: there's nothing wrong with posting your unsubstantiated opinions as long as you don't try to pass them off as facts. It just shows that you are too lazy or too stupid to do the necessary research to establish a conclusion.

    The term I am going to quibble with in your statement is "high quality." Growing commercial weed, otherwise referred to as "ditchweed" isn't difficult or time consuming at all. However, very few people would choose to use this kind of product if a high quality alternative were available at a store. There would be a few, to be sure, but it would be a very small number, IMO.

    Growing "high quality" mar1juana is not easy, is extremely time consuming, and takes a lot of experience that can only be gained through extensive trial and error. There would be a select few people who would grow this for their own personal use, but most people with that knowledge and ability would peddle their wares in order to capitalize on their talents. Thet is where the regulated market comes in.

    Did you get that information from a crystal ball or are you clairvoyant?

    wow its impossible to find accurate data. " If weed was legalized. "

    because it's not....... so how can anyone assume anything about weed be legalized?

    I'm not trying to start a fight or something. I just would like to know the answer .

    You are absolutely correct.

    Except that it has happened to varying degrees, in some places. Add to that any data we have from before prohibition and you have the beginnings of actual evidence. How that data applies to the current proposal is a matter for discussion. Your anectodes and personal feelings are completely irrelevant to that discussion, however.

    You can make educated guesses based on the facts and available evidence. The best of this evidence comes from when alcohol prohibition was the law of the land and then rescinded. Alcohol usage didn't go up, crime went down, alcohol related deaths went down, and we have since made huge strides towards many of the problems inherent in alcohol use (drunk driving, alcoholism, etc.).

    Or, as you seem to do, you can just look in your crystal ball, ignore evidence, and judge the world based on anecdotal evidence. :rolleyes:

    So do you think American could greatly benefit if weed was made legal??

    Then again, if it were made legal, and by some chance things got out of hand, we could always ban it again....

    So does this classify as an educated guess or anecdotal? If its educated or based on facts, provide links showing caring for a couple plants requires anything more than, oh say, 30 minutes a day (which is way less than the 12 hours a day you assume it does)

    and I'm sorry for some stuff. Because i have personal things that i blot out sometimes..... and I'm sorry and should not release those.

    So in the future if i say something that is a personal opinion thats emotional, please say JLEW1818 don't get personal.


    thank u.!
