explain why it would be SO bad for the public? no one is forcing them to smoke pot, if someone wants to they can. if it's legal sure maybe more people would smoke it, what exactly would the downfall be? personally i think pretty much anyone who wants to smoke pot does, legalizing it would just make it so they didn't sit in the basement at their moms house all day passin the blunt to the nigga on their left.

what im trying to say is, the only hold back on smokin the shit is you cant be walkin around in public doin it, that is the only thing about it.

might as well throw in this picture from engrish.com

So this baby seal walks into a club.
