Marijuana has been a “National Industry” for decades. Only now it’s moving from the black market to being officially recognized....and taxable.
The prohibition against it, and probably some others has been a colossal mistake/failure. It’s just like the prohibition of the 1920s, only worse. This is far from over though. Too many entrenched/monied interests have their livelihoods invested in the prohibition. It runs the entire spectrum from the legal/police state all the way to the drug cartels. All profit from it. You also have include those that desire to use the police power of government to force their moral views on people. The latter doesn’t profit from the prohibition, but it does seem to make them feel better about themselves.
Great our children have another legal way to get high. Even though they are minors they know the difference. “Gee mom and dad that bong you found in my room so what it’s legal now”.
