In 4 out of 7 states that legalized recreational cannabis, deaths from car crashes rose 10%, according to the University of Illinois Chicago study. On a brighter note, suicide and opioid overdose deaths declined in the states that legalized recreational marijuana.
Instead of killing themselves, they are killing other people.

@Aqua-Letifer I reckon it was the stripey shirt that did it. That fucking thing just screams 'Prison!'

@Aqua-Letifer That looks like a young Jerry Seinfeld.

Ah, the three Mik brothers used to convene in the attic before T-day dinner and toke up. No murders or fights, just high hilarity.
Well, we weren't allowed alcohol, so...

I can think of any number of reasons to murder somebody during the Thanksgiving "festivities", however smoking weed probably isn't one of them

Were you allowed marijuana?

Both were quite easy to obtain. Springfield had beverage drivethrus everywhere. They never carded you if you didn't act the fool. Hell, when I was 17 I could walk into the state liquor store, fill out the slip and buy booze. Again, just don't act the fool.
But a bottle at the table was rather impossible to conceal.

It was very easy for my neighbor.
When I was growing up, my next door neighbor was named Tom McNichols, everyone called him Red. He was 2 years older than me. We played ball together when we were young.
At one time he was considered the largest pot dealer on the east coast. He imported by the ton.
Here is a PBS Frontline story about him. They have video of him leaving an auction in London after buying John Lennon's piano, for $19K cash. Red had good taste and he ended up with a significant pile of cash before the feds took it all away. He also owned several places in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston.
He wasn't really a tough guy or anything like that, he was a very nice guy, mellow. Maybe it was the weed.
