the liquor store closes too early. i believe i should have the right to purchase marijuana at all times of night - and especially at 4:20 am.

if they can make it as hard to find pot as it is to find cigarettes, they'll have done the best that they realistically can. unless they want to move cigarettes to the liquor store, too?

i think that corner stores are a better idea. i mean, they just allowed supermarkets to sell beer, let's be consistent here...

this is what nobody wants to say: if you're really concerned about crime (and the actual reality is that the shadiest thing i've seen in over twenty years of smoking is a confederate flag on a baggie...i don't get the impression that the gangs push much pot.), you want to have that bit of space - so that the kids that really want it can get it from the state. you want to put up hurdles, make it annoying - but not make it impossible.

you can't stop kids from smoking pot any more than you can stop them from having sex. and, given that, i'd rather have them get it from the store through some convoluted process than have them get it from the bikers.

that's how things work today with cigs and booze. it's how things will work with pot, too. there's not a choice here, really. so, it doesn't make sense to me for them to get stricter on pot while they're loosening up on alcohol; alcohol is far more destructive. i'd rather see it at corner stores, at supermarkets, etc.

anywhere that can sell beer or cigarettes should be able to sell marijuana, too.
