I concur but it can not be  much worse then killing your liver right?

I doubt that getting any type of smoke into your lungs is very good for you.

Thankfully, we can avoid smelling it for at least a few more years here in Oregon.  I was getting scared there for a bit...

Oh, please. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's going to be everywhere. Anyone who wanted to was already doing it, now they just don't have to worry about going to jail for it. Should cut back on the paranoia.
*shrug*  I don't like the smell.  And I disagree that anyone who wanted to do it was already doing it.  Legalization will certainly increase usage, especially in public areas.

Has anyone studied the effects of secondhand marijuana smoke?
Firsthand or secondhand, there's no harmful effects from smoking weed.
Doesn't it kill braincells or something, or was that just FUD?

+1, you know I knew a person once who would snoop around people's facebook accounts and decide whether she want's to hire them.
Fairly common practice these days.  That's why anyone with facebook should set their profile as private (and completely so - none of the "friends of friends" nonsense) when job hunting.  It's not illegal if they see something that they believe could hinder your performance, and that includes excessive partying, getting high, etc.
FUD.  Weed's probably the healthiest thing on earth.

Regarding what SaintDevil said, it sure does help you lose weight!  Cannabis connects you to your consciousness, allowing you to think from a different perspective.  While I believe THC helps your body burn fat, I think it psychologically helps more with the mental factors of losing weight.  People often eat their problems away, weed helps you confront them.

FUD. Might be some developmental effects if smoked before 18, but nothing detrimental after.

The revolution will be monetized!
I read some of the law and proposition and noticed something in the Washington law (i think i was that state). It mentioned that MJ is legal as long as it contains less than 1% THC.
1%? So we can only smoke ditch weed?  Undecided

What I don't understand it that since it became legal, does that mean that companies cannot refuse to hire you anymore if they find out that you smoked weed?

That's akin to asking if companies are allowed to peruse your credit card bills and decline to hire you if they see a W.O.W. account subscription.

There were many studies that showed that weed actually increases you ability to intellectual thinking.
Oh and it also makes you loose weight because it increases your metabolism. I guess as long as you don't overeat what you burned.

It'll be very interesting to see how the federal government reacts to this. I'd like to see public support for increased state rights.

Has anyone studied the effects of secondhand marijuana smoke?

I think that's called "contact high" Wink
Lol, excellent.

On the upside, at least this will cut into cartel profits.  Of course, they'll probably just push more of the harder stuff now.

But at least the vast majority of drug users won't be exposed to and offered those harder drugs when buying their weed.
A very valid point as well.

The exact amount of Tax revenue generated will be a big thing for other states, its always about the $$$$

That's quite a big leap..and I'm sure there will be other states to follow suit shortly, like my home state of Vermont Tongue

Washington and Colorado now get to enjoy the extra tax revenue thanks to good 'ol Mary Jane (or at least eventually).
