Yup, In fact I am getting my medical card this week. No drug testing either.

 

[Omnii-chan]

I don't drink.

If marijuana became legal I'm not sure if I would smoke or not for health reasons.

Maybe just a little bit in my yearly vacation time.

 

[Izayoi]

It's legal here. I ate a ton of edibles when it first showed up in stores and such but since then my usage of both THC-infused products and alcohol has significantly decreased, almost to the point where I never do it unless it's within a social context.

It's a strange phenomenon...

Livin the dream. I'm jelly.

Waiting on my new card to come in the mail lol.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

I don't like alcohol so... Probably not.

 

[rgoulart]

I consume alcohol on a regular basis but no, mostly because I don't smoke and I don't ever plan to do it.

 

[bobbytkc]

No. I don't like alcohol and I don't smoke.

 

[Zhylaw]

I would drink less, would still drink.

 

[BashNasty]

Nah, I'm fully able to smoke as much pot as I want and I still drink a ton.

I like weed, but I like drinking more.

Feels good man.

I feel like the stars aligned. I retired from the Air Force and wanted to start in IT. I got a job 15 mins away paying decent for entry level, tons of freedom to learn pretty much anything, Active Directory, GPOs, scripting, networking, you name it.

 

[rokkerkory]

Probably!

 

[adj_noun]

I've got two legal recreational pot shops down the street from me. There's a bar not too far either.

I neither smoke the tobaccy nor drink the sauce.

I'm living someone else's dream.

 

[Big Brett]

I basically only drink 1-2 beers nowadays. Weed makes me much more sociable and makes me feel like myself. Legal here now. I wasn't ever a very heavy drinker, but when I started using pot my drinking slowed drastically.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

yep. alcohol would go way down. feel less like fuckin shit after weed so that's the biggest plus

 

[SpaceHorror]

Nope.

I'll still drink as much as I do now.

 

[jstripes]

Hard to say.

I haven't smoked enough weed.

How much will it cost?

Something I've wondered with legalization, the people in jail for what will be now legal....what happens to them? What happened during Prohibition for example? I've tried searching for answers but couldn't find much.

 

[KorrZ]

I mean... It's not legal here yet but I still smoke far more often then I drink. So no I guess.

Just because something is no longer illegal doesn't invalidate someone's past instance of breaking the law. At the time they were convicted they knowingly chose to break the law. Not that I agree with it but I can't imagine that not being the stance taken.

 

[curiouscharles]

I regularly smoke but i still enjoy a tasty beer or bourbon from time to time in social situations or with a meal (wine).

And smoking isn't allowed in doors, so you can't replace alcohol with cannabis in every situation.

So no, I would probably drink and smoke the same. Because at this point its decriminalized anyway.

this guy gets it.

[i wanted to bold your whole post, so i refrained, but especially the no smoking indoors part]

 

[Conkersbadfurday]

I'd cut back on the booze pretty heavily, I think. I've never actually gotten high so I'd have to determine if I liked it more or not.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but we as a society determine what our laws are with the representatives we elect. Something can be done to reduce or wipe sentences retroactively. I'm curious as to what if any precedent there is for something like that I guess.

 

[Hunter S.]

It already has for me. Poor non-legal people.
