lol.
like stated earlier, it is still a federal crime. the only way legalization will make a difference , would be if it were federally legalized.
and as jake said , some people just have an addicted personality and thats what causes them to try other drugs. , yes i smoked pot then got into other things, but stopped less than 18 months after. it depends on the individual.
and there is a reason why people want pot legal rather than coke , crack , heroin , etc. there is alot of benificial shit to it. iirc , you can make fuel out of hemp. shit , hemp seeds are the most nutritionally balanced food there is. srsly. $6 billion is spend annually on sending smokers to jail just on possesion charges and some stay in there just as long as the more serious offenders. i could go on , but i have my middle finger in a splint.
federal legalization will come soon...hopefully.
