as for being stoned in every day life, your not gonna have a bunch of people walking around laughing at the ground and yelling at trees. you can handle yourself at work or in public fine as long as your not retarted stoned 5 mins before going in. saying it makes you stupid is wrong. it makes you lazy thus not wanting to think, but if you give a half ass about your job its not a problem
its no worse than drinking on society. people will do their day life, then instead of bars, have smoking dens for late night if they wanted.
remeber its not going to be like people smoking cigs on the street. i would bet even if they ever did change the law on it to make it semi-legal, its going to be like an open container law thing with lit pot.

Oh I'm not saying people wouldn't grow their own...some certainly would. Then again you have to question the knowledge of the grower. Some people know how to grow it, some don't. The problem becomes finding who knows and who doesn't. I had friends who made a killing because they knew their shit. Others gave up because no one wanted their schwag. It just flat out sucked. The one good thing that would come from regulation is predicatability. It would keep one brand from knocking you on your ass while another brand hit you like a powder puff.
And I'm also not saying that everyone in the world would show up to work stoned. Of course the smart folks won't because they just plain know better. Hell...I went to work drunk once and I will NEVER do that again. Same with getting high. I would hope that if someone did it once they'd reconsider...but I know way too many people that made going to work high a habit and it pissed me off to no end.
To me getting high is a lot like being gay...do whatever you want so long as I don't have to see or hear about it. There's nothing worse than some dipshit burnout telling you how high he got over the weekend. Fine...get high, do it while you're amongst friends, and let that be the end of it. Don't come to work and tell me how high you got...I don't care. None of my gay co-workers would tell me about their sexual encounters over the weekend. There's just some things I don't care to hear about.
