[QUOTE="donna723, post: 702765, member: 1883"] I think it's inevitable too but it won't come quickly. It's a bit like the lottery. It was legal in other states long before it was here in the Bible belt. And once we did get the lottery, the state started making so much money off of it, they'll never go back. But eventually it will come, even here, probably the medical marijuana first, then the recreational. When it comes right down to it, to the powers that be, it's all about the $$$. If it were regulated, sold and taxed like alcohol or tobacco, then maybe our schools would be better and our roads wouldn't be full of potholes! I came up through the 60's so you can guess which side I'm on. This is something we did all the time and I never once saw anyone who was harmed by it. No auto accidents, no fights, no marriages destroyed, no families torn apart by pot like mine was by alcohol! Yet one is legal, the other is not! And I don't want to hear the "gateway" argument! It's no more of a "gateway" to harder things than drinking milk or Dr. Pepper is a gateway to being an alcoholic! Pure BS! [/QUOTE]
