Your first claim simply is not true, sorry.



Yeah it is true, no one is going to suddenly take up smoking pot because it was deemed legal, it has been far to easy to obtain for a very long time, if anyone wanted to use it they did.

Let me explain why I think you are wrong.
There are lots of things people want to do, but do not do because it is illegal. That's the whole point of the legal system.
Those people are identified as law abiding citizens, and yes they still exist.

If people do not want to do things, then you do not need legal regulation.
So those people who didn't do something because it was illegal, but wanted to, will now do it because it is legal.

The part that you fail to address is the issue of new users, people that are potential users, in particular the young age groups.
That age group has not made a conscious decision yet. In the past their choice would be guided by the legal framework and external influences.
Now both the external influence and legal message is that it is OK. You will see a dramatic increase of drug use within that group.

I certainly agree with Alan on this~weed is just as easy to get in America as a drink of water, only it cost more, that's it.
