Its easier to pick out a group of weed smokers and measure some factor that could be related to IQ over say a 5 year period. As opposed to randomly deciding if a person (adolescent or not) had an IQ drop then wondering if he smoked weed or not. it wouldn't be spontaneously, it would be rather easy to see their results decline over years in highschool or college or whatever. but i'm not here to argue, you have a decent point. | ||

Do you have any evidence to back that bs up ? Just look at Amsterdam or anywhere in The Netherlands, prices sure as hell did NOT drop. Weed is expensive as fuck up there, i know i go there 4x a year. Growing weed would require a licence cost thousands of dollars so you couldn't grow it yourself. and then they would tax it even more than tobacco making it expensive as fuck. the more i think about it the more i think it's just fine as it is right now, in Belgium at least. They don't even give a fuck if you have plants at home. | ||

I dont think its an easy decision if weed should be legalized or not, and i think it requires some forethought. These are my initial thoughts and since im not really good at economics or law , feel free to poke holes on my thoughts. Positives with legalizing weed: Weed related crimes may drop, dependence on a private dealer disappeare to a degree. Negatives: Depending on the legislation, it might open a market corporations to make money, with advirtisment etc etc, and might increase consumption of weed ( wich i honestly dont see as a positive, same goes for alcohole), people with addictive personalties which might not have exposed to weed might be with the new legislation. IF increased consumption becomes an issue, where will it be farmed? can that have longtime reprocussions, ie taking up farmland that could have better uses like food. I dont belive in keeping drugs illigal just because some people get addicted, just as some people cant handle alcohole, some people can handle it fine, and actually be better for it. However like i said earlier, if weed should be legalized, we need to think carefully of what its longtime reprocussions might be. Personally im not really decided on the matter. | ||

Some regions in Switzerland sell it 'openly' and it's not the only country. again, i know i've been there. Psylos use to be legal too in Switzerland until some kid fucked up while under the influence and now it isn't anymore. such a shame cuz they were good Psylos. | ||

Very basic economics. | ||

Supply and demand is true for things that aren't taxed like cigarettes and alcohol. Weed will be taxed like them, so prices will definitely go up | ||
