Toward the movement in general, basically. I have had a couple friends who have recently commented on this, and how they fear that the fact that now that there have been several wins, people and activists alike will assume other states will just do the same no matter what they do. In a way, I get this idea, but I don't really think so. Yeah, I have seen people get lazy before on this issue, but I think it's just a matter of time, really. What say you, blades? jah!/*d$*
I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of pot smokers are apathetic toward political change. It's not until they've been to prison that they become legalization activists. Drug dealers, of course.. benefit the most from prohibition, so they have no desire to get it legalized, either. Then again, maybe if cannabis were legal and taxed, we could use that money to invest in social programs such as free college education and healthcare.. so there would be no need for anyone to sell drugs. Either way, people pay big money for illegal cannabis.. real money that could have been put to good use.
I feel that is true concerning a section of stoners, but not all of them entirely. You are correct on the dealer end of things, it has completely changed the game from what things were up here, for sure. I also tend to feel at times that the 'money that could've been better spent' is more the selling point for skeptical states than anything else. Places like where I currently live I feel will be among the last fucking dregs to actually pull the trigger for recreational. Until they realize that it could literally be theirs, if they stop sitting on their asses and take it from the black market, they won't be swayed by anything else. jah!/*d$*
