Controversial voice for many decades now is the relationship between marijuana use and other Illegal Drugs. Is the fact that more people are consuming marijuana which is lacking the face of legalization will lead to higher rates of use of other Illegal Drugs, that could be a concern or is the opposite possible that an increased use of marijuana because its legal might suppress the use of other Illegal Drugs . All these questions that we will know the answers to in a few years which is why some of us think if we are ambivalent about the legal legalization of marijuana you might learn a stunning amount for the future.

Often we get the question asked by a parent is it better for for me if my child drives stoned or drives drunk like the answer is better not let your children use any of the above if theyre behind the wheel. Its much more dangerous to drive drunk and stoned. In other words driving under the influence of marijuana and alcohol is much more dangerous than
Life. It seemed as though he cannot possibly. And a certain inevitability that takes over when i lay his story out. Here is like it could be no other way. To understand is to forgive. Watching the wire and lately. I mean, i have been watching it is supposedly an accurate portrayal breed i dont know if you have seen it. But an accurate portrayal baby brought in and distributed pitbull and dave simon was a former reporter please do you find these two stories dont really jive with that whole wire police catching people on wiretaps and all these sorts of drug buys and Police Informants in that sort of thing. And just curious your thoughts on that. Well, two points. I mean, they are dealing crack and heroin. So categorically different kind of animal involved in that business.

Make those false statements does. I think it creates an uncomfortable system. I have some real concerns about how it is played out in some states. Host what kind of tax revenues has california garnered from medical marijuana and what are the early results from colorado . Guest colorado has been fascinating to watch. The last few months we have seen taxation results released and Advocacy Groups from the beginning were talking massive tax benefits in many states looking for additional source of revenue is very appealing. In some of the states the idea of Marijuana Legalization being a cure for problems sounded very appealing. The initial estimates most of us thought were too high. The tax revenues would not be nearly as high as the Advocacy Group had implied. The results came out in colorado and the tax revenues were much higher.
