No, when I walk into the store it doesn't smell like pot in there. For that matter, I almost never smell or see it.

What this proves is that there are tons of pot smokers. If it were suddenly made illegal again, those people aren't going to stop smoking, they are going to go back to buying it how they did before, illegally. So here is what I need from you. Explain to me how legal pot is so bad that making it illegal and putting those millions of dollars back into the hands of drug dealers and drug cartels is a better solution.

If the trade off for millions of dollars in tax revenue, jobs, and a big economic boost for the state is that every now and then you see a guy walking down the street smoking a joint (which is illegal in my state, by the way), I think that is pretty fair trade.
