The Colorado experiment started the day Marijuana was legalized. The early results are good because the market is high and people come to Colorado for legalized Marijuana. Some experts think that because of the crazy tax amount on the Marijuana that black markets will start which defeats the purpose of legal Marijuana. Part of the test is to determine who this law is going to effect. Will teenagers buy more Marijuana or older adults? Could this law lead to more drug abuse? I think that the long term effects will be worse then predicted. I also think that the buying and selling of Legalized Marijuana creates jobs. Do you guys think the pros will out way the cons? What are your thoughts about legalizing Marijuana?

Good summary and questions but you could have replied a couple more times.
I think a big pro is that the Colorado government is making money off of the drug instead of spending a lot of money enforcing marijuana laws.
The marijuana (and other drugs) can only hurt people if people abuse its use. The pros will outweigh the cons only if people don't overuse the legalized drug. I personally think they shouldn't do such tests as it will just tempt drug users to get more and get high.
I don't know what will out weigh what but there are pros and there are cons. I guess its their choice to do it and sell it but to me medical reasoning it pry the only good reason to have it.
I agree there's not a whole lot of other good reason other than medical.
I think the pros will defiantly outweigh the cons, and I think pot should be legal for sure and it help with the government debt.
I agree that it could definitely help with Government debt and maybe other countries will go to Colorado for pot and it could up their tourism.
I think that if the prices or expensive that the cons will out way the positives by far. It's a good idea to an extent to legalize marijuana. In the matter that it is a gateway drug is not a good thing. But in the matter that some people use it medically now they can get it easier without such a hassle.
I agree I think it could be helpful for patients with cancer who need it but just for an ordinary person I don't think it's a good idea.
If people really want to do it so bad we should make people go to Colorado and not bring it into other states. i don't really see why somebody would do that to there body bit if they really want to make it cost more.
