How Is That Legal?! Legalizing Marijuana Volume II

How is that Legal?! Volume 2

Please let it be known that we intentionally tend to avoid discussing politics and or marijuana on PorchDrinking unless it involves parody, humor, or more commonly drinking games and the occasional 4/20 weed and beer pairing. But this election cycle has certainly been anything but ordinary.

Aside from the presidential candidates running for office this year, voters in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, and North Dakota are being tasked with deciding on a hot button issue involving legalizing medical or in marijuana or in the case of California, Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts, and Arizona recreational use.

While I personally don’t frequent the use of marijuana, I do live in Colorado and have seen its economic impact versus the residual consequences incurred and still believe it might as well be regulated, and taxed. Meanwhile one of our friends and avid readers of the blog, noted that while marijuana can be harmful when used inappropriately there are also a multitude of other things that exist in society that are also harmful for you but legal. Thus we bring you volume two of our list of things that are potentially worse for you, but legal…
