Best way to invest in marijuana stocks?

shouldn't be wasting jail cells, courts, law enforcement and all the related costs on pot smokers. Could be more of a speeding ticket type fine of $100 unless caught with huge quantities, selling to kids, etc.

Agreed. We lock up way too many people for non-violent offenses and spend billions doing it.

If you get caught with some modest amount of pot you should have a steep fine, enough to be somewhat of a deterrent. And the fine should elevate for subsequent repeat offenses.

The legal focus should be on the suppliers, growers, and sellers. Attack the supply chain, not the users.

As I understand it you can test positive for pot a few weeks after smoking

many businesses will have to continue with zero tolerance safety policies on pot and a random testing programs.

Exactly. Since, unlike alcohol, marijuana stays in your system for a long time, there's no way to prove if someone is under the influence at any given time. They may test positive even if they haven't used for a couple of weeks. So even if marijuana is legalized, employers are still going to have to test for it and still treat a positive test as grounds for discipline or dismissal.

I've never smoked pot, only smoked a cigarette (once) when I was drunk, but I am kind of a live-and-let-live person when it comes to THC. Maybe it's because I've traveled in various countries where people more commonly smoke pot. Or because I am a snowboarder and they all seem to do it. I dunno. Anyway, interesting article here on drug legalization:

Here's a podcast from one of the most well-known emergency physicians, Mel Herbert, on his take on medical marijuana. 12:45 in, show 8:

TWHAB is basically a podcast that Mel runs that is geared toward relative laypeople... his other ER doc-directed podcast (EMRAP) is probably *the* leading podcast for ER physicians.

Talking about reducing the amount of people we jail, we need to legalize prostitution as well.

Couldn't agree with you more
