I think it will look exactly like it does now: like a brutal and dysfunctional police state violating the privacy and dignity of its citizens and locking them in cages for trivial offenses that harm nobody.
P.S. My mom told me in the 90s that they had these same conversations in the 70s. A 20 year time frame may be optimistic...
- spoiledtechie 15y agoPlease think again when you say it does nobody any harm. Its well documented, that MJ coming from Mexico does a great deal of harm. You must think of the entire production process. If it were legalized, it would still do people harm. Its been well documented, that doing enough of it will just tune out your senses... Making you a "pot head" and a lazy ass, that I don't want to have to support when you decide to live off the government.
- antoko 15y agoIts pretty bad form to claim how well documented something is (twice in 3 sentences) and then just hand wave and not provide any links to any of this supposed documentation. (I didn't downvote you)
- imgabe 15y agoIt does harm because it's illegal. If it were legal, people wouldn't need to buy it from Mexican gangsters. Notice how Chicago isn't filled with people massacring each other with tommy guns since alcohol prohibition ended.
- bunderbunder 15y agoChicago's still well-known for its organized crime, and it's still largely fueled by drug prohibition. It'd be more correct to say that people in Chicago aren't brutally massacring each other over alcohol since alcohol prohibition ended.
