Why Marijuana Legalization is Good For You (Even if you won’t use it)

9. Yes--

Of course there are already folks out there who were/are already demotivated due to circumstances beyond using cannabis.
But for most users, it seems to motivate critical thinking/evaluation/creativity etc.
I believe once cannabis prohibition is over-there will be a "honeymoon" for a short period of time where folks will "gorge" on celebration and then both frequency of use and "newbies" trying it for their first time-will flatten and then decrease over time as it becomes just another boring issue.
Most people who will use it legally post legalization are Already using it.

I don't see a big consumer increase post honeymoon and I don't see a "dumbing down" of the populace.

That job is taken already by corporations spearheading the devolvement and destruction of our public ed system via privatization for profit. They've been busy "Dumbing us Down" for decades now, imo
