An inquiry to fellow Washington State residents [View all]

Have you noticed any perceivable difference in the state since the voters have passed the new marijuana law?


My experience:

No perceivable difference good or bad. Where I live, you wouldn't even know that the law had passed. I don't see any difference in the parks, at the store, driving, going to the movies. I don't see bands of glossy eyed folks walking down the street. I have yet to smell the odor on people while going to public places. I see no unusual or irrational behavior. I don't read newspaper articles about pot induced "incidents".

It is like it never even happened, yet, I talk to folks that say they smoke it, typically at night, in the privacy of their backyard.

Honestly, for me, you wouldn't even know that such a law was passed.

What is your experience?
