Legal Pot, Colorado, Washington

I've only had one job where I was drug tested and it was at Goodwill when I was younger. But it was surprisingly a really physical job in a factory.

Back to the OP, I really do wish my state had done this.

I have a serious question:
How does this affect people who are not smoking pot?
I mean, drugs tests, etc. all happened regardless. Will this make any difference for the little man?

Less taxpayer money wasted on enforcement, more revenues from taxation (which ideally would lead to lower taxes elsewhere). More cops working to prevent and solve actual crimes rather than being occupied with stuff like stopping potheads from smoking pot (which ideally would lead to lower crime all around, and a safer environment for everyone.)

I like all of these things. I suppose I'll support the legalization of marijuana in Illinois.

Well, the taxation part is shakey until federal legalization...

That it is.

So how would the feds go about controlling the whole marijuana, having a license, and billing us/taxing us thing? Would there be, like, a sign up sheet, and they just main you the pot every month or so, or what?

Ever been to a store?
