So... Is It Okay to Talk About Now?
[url=http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/08/us/politics/marijuana-laws-eased-in-colorado-and-washington.html?_r=0]Because if you live in Colorado, it's not illegal.[/url]
Only reason I ask, is due to people I know who were banned by moderators for mentioning it. Don't be brash and rush in saying no. Have an open mind. Are we allowed to discuss the subject matters on the forums as regular conversation pieces now?
If this works well in Colorado, I see it spreading nationally. Just like with the end of the prohibition and raise in the drinking age. Reasons become justified later in time and the world changes. Embrace it rather than living in fear of it all.

I'm at a loss of words here, maybe somebody out there understands what I'm trying to write out. I want people to not over react when things pop up? Not just with this subject, but others as well. In a sense, normalize it. You don't have to use it, you don't have to be afraid of it, I'd just like to see it incorporated and people be mature about it. Much like how I don't go into every alcohol related thread and bash it. I have my personal opinions, experiences, and quarrels with it. That's for me to keep to myself. But then again that would require for people to not be rude. Why can't we just all smile and talk to each other like friends? You don't have to like somebody, but you don't have to hate them. You don't have to like something, but you don't have to hate it either. It being "legalized" in Colorado is only a start, I'm just looking ahead.
