Bah.
The argument is ludicrous that it will somehow make everyone in the country become a deadbeat stoner if you simply decriminalize pot.
Explain BC then?
Explain in terms of what? If you're using it as an example for how criminalizing marijuana doesn't make it drop off the face of the planet, and for how, in fact, criminalizing marijuana just gives those in the black market lots of business, then yes, I agree, BC is a good example.
I would not agree it's a good example of an entire populace becoming deadbeat stoners due to easy access to pot, because the large majority of people I know are not deadbeat stoners, and quite frankly, the minority of people I do know who are deadbeat stoners would still be deadbeat stoners if the punishment for smoking pot was greater.
