I’m sure they’ll like all the new laws that come with it.
Might as well. The public has already largely vacated the law by their actions. There are more people out there smoking pot than you would ever realize and you would be surprised to find out who some of them are. People you would never, ever think of.
Legalize, tax it, treat it like hard liquor. Be done with it, use the money and resources being used on it for the truly hard, really destructive stuff. Coke, meth, heroine, etc.
Prohibition taught us one thing if nothing else; if enough of the public doesn’t mind breaking a law then that law cannot be enforced.
