You can't have both. Give it a decade to play out, and we'll watch legalized marijuana destroy the educational systems and tech based industries of Colorado and Washington. Once the impact on the education systems and workforce becomes clear, tech companies are going to avoid Colorado and Washington like the plague.

It's a fantasy that economic productivity can be maintained with an ever increasing number of potheads.

Louisiana's current petrochemical based economy, along with anticipated growth in technology fields depends on the availability of a well educated, drug-free work force.

You obviously never been around the oilfield much. Full of pill heads and drunks yet work keeps flowing. Rules and Laws do not keep people from doing what they want.

A whole bunch of eurozone countries would quite strongly disagree with you here. But... i applaud you for not having this discussion in Duck's thread. And you are certainly allowed to have your opinion and viewpoint.
