As the U.S. Senate is poised to debate the decriminalization of recreational marijuana on a nationwide level, now is the perfect time to question if this is really such a good idea after all. Do we have sufficient data to answer the question responsibly? Are there warning signs from states that have already decriminalized pot?
Some would argue that that this ship has already sailed and that the legalization of marijuana, both medically and recreationally, is as good as done. After all, any adult can purchase a wide variety of alcoholic beverages, and prohibition proved to be untenable. Why should it be different with pot? Surely, drinking hard liquor is more dangerous, on many levels, than toking some weed.
