I can agree with legalizing pot.

What do you think about legalizing prostitution and gambleing?

While legalizing pot and gambling both have significant downsides,

- the upside of legalizing pot outweighs the downside (and my 19-year old will surely appreciate it)

- I've seen gambling destroy people -- but I spend about 15-20 weekends a year doing it, so, I guess it ought to be legal

- Legalizing prostitution has little downside as far as I can see. I must admit, I've never paid for it, but if it were necessary, I think I'd like to have the option...

Gambling is already just about legal thanks to Indian reservations. Prostitution sure, but it will never happen here because the Puritans were on the Mayflower not the Dutch. Canada will soon legalize pot. Nevada might get it next time. But the GOP is dead-set against it. Why they keep airing those dishonest "smoke a joint help a terrorist" ads. No factual basis there at all. Lying to kids about pot and sex is okay I guess. gg
