Poll: Colorado Wants Marijuana Legalized, Regulated Like Booze and Smokes

[RainDog]

72. But, honestly, there are various facets to the law

the billboard in CO and this ad say - it's safer than alcohol and I'm not a bad person to prefer one over the other in a social situation.

it also points to a BIG issue for young women - which is being taken advantage of when someone is too drunk to know what she's doing. I don't encourage anyone to do something to excess - but I live in a college town that's a lot like Boulder in many ways - and acquaintance rape on campus is a problem - and its generally related to alcohol consumption - at frat houses, at least where I am.

then there is the medical issue and the real life-changing issues from that one.

then there's the hemp issue - which has nothing to do with the sort of cannabis for either of the above.

So, ideally, someone would make a commercial for each reason - then, as the election nears, someone could edit the three into one commercial.

I don't think recreational use should "hide" behind medical use - cannabis is safer than alcohol. People, esp. people between 21 and 35, use substances like alcohol in social settings - the general trend is that recreational usage falls or drops off entirely when people have kids and more responsibility at work - though it doesn't stop - I think it's good to recognize that people go through stages - don't pretend young adults don't grease the social wheels sometimes (tho the effects are really different, imo, b/t alcohol and cannabis.)
