So you think that pot will destroy the country.

                             So you think that legalizing pot will destroy the country. It will destroy the moral fabric of the people. It will turn America into a bunch of lazy stoners that will do nothing but sit on the couch all day but then have the motivation to rob and steal to support their pot habit. Yeah, I just said that. And so does every person that is against the legalization of pot.
                              So what stopped people from lifting prohibition on alcohol? the same arguments were made. The same and more examples were used to keep prohibition. What's different? Nothing. Business took the lead to regulate it. That's right, business takes the lead in controlling the abuse of intoxicants. Just because you make pot legal, doesn't mean that you can now be high while operating heavy equipment, being a cop, driving a truck, working with hazardous materials, being a fireman, etc etc etc ad nausium ad infinitum. You will still have to be drug free to have a job with a company that has a drug policy.
                                 Dont believe it? When the day arrived for pot to be sold legally as a recreational intoxicant, the line was huge. And the first guy in line was on the evening news. The next day he was unemployed. Why? His employer saw him on the news and they have a no tolerance policy that didnt change because the law did. In the same way you cant be drunk at work, business wont stand for you being high at work.
                                And it's not a gateway drug either. The only time it could even remotely be considered a gateway drug is when the guy you buy the pot is out of marijuana and offers you an alternative. Which cant happen in a pot *dispensary*.  And if you think people are going to suddenly become criminals to support a pot habit, it would be a lot less of a pain to grow your own. Which would also be legal.
                                And the medical reasons are ridiculous when you consider how much more dangerous alcohol and legal maintenance meds are in comparison.
                              If you have any other BS arguments against pot, I remind you that the ONLY reason pot is illegal is because those who have investments in business that would be effected by hemp(has no THC which is what gets you high from pot) needed a way to make an innocuous plant illegal to protect those investments.  Besides, prohibition is as unconstitutional as Obamacare. So now that all of your reasons have been destroyed, if you have any more *reasons*, comment. I'll show you how those arguments are BS as well.
