I see no evidence that marijuana prohibition is enforceable - and home growing is part of the reason it isn't.
I see costs accruing to me
I've pointed out the flaws in the arguments for the existence of such cost increases. (Not that I expect to change your mind, but so you don't mislead anyone else.)
“I see no evidence that marijuana prohibition is enforceable - and home growing is part of the reason it isn’t.”
I would agree that home growing small quantities is difficult to catch. Brewing relatively robust quantities of alcohol is not difficult to conceal.
“I’ve pointed out the flaws in the arguments for the existence of such cost increases.”
And, as usual, proponents of legalization ignore the costs or minimize them. And that by the way is why pot isn’t already legal: if the proponents would be reasonably straightforward on the negative side of the equation, those problems could probably be dealt with. But instead it’s unicorns and sunshine, not the reality that we’ve seen in places like the Netherlands.
