Lets make marijuana legal, or lets not and say we did!

I am certain that I will get a lot of backlash from this post... I am prepared for it. Let me begin by saying, I am still not sure if I am against legalizing marijuana or not. But what I will share is my experience with the guests who visit my restaurant and are very "high"... Now, how do I know these individuals are "high", you ask? Well, if you are familiar with marijuana, it has a very potent, skunk-like odor... Ha. Kind of hard to miss. Also, the guests tend to act a bit "different", for lack of a better word. I don't mind the smell, or the fact that they can barely speak, let alone order food... What bothers me, is that they often order much more food than they can eat, and sometimes afford! I'm assuming, having consumed my fair amount of marijuana when I was younger, this is because they have the "munchies". When you go out to eat and can't pay your bill, you are basically convicts... We are required to call the police, and if you leave before the police get there, you are running from the law... All because you wanted to smoke a little pot before you ate! Well, lets make this stuff legal then?! How about it... and then we can have people doing this more and more?! I'm also going to add that in the restaurant that I work, we are required to let patrons who are "high" know that they aren't allowed to have alcoholic beverages in our establishment... So I cannot serve them alcohol because they are already under the influence, and I have no idea of telling how much alcohol they could handle at this point... It's basically the same as if someone came in and was very intoxicated... People don't like this, though. They get very angry... I should add that I don't work in one of the safest areas... Customers have been known to get mad about little things, like an extra charge for sour cream, and pull guns out! Imagine if marijuana was legal, they came in smelling of it, and I said, "I'm sorry I can't give you a beer." I could be killed. This may seem extreme, but if people are complaining about sour cream, imagine if they couldn't get beer!

There are a lot of reasons why I think making marijuana legal would be crazy... But this is the one that scares me the most... Just thought I would share!

Now commence the backlashing!
