There is only so much tax money you can get from cigarettes.

...or returning NYC back to the 1970s. At least then, you could openly smoke cigarettes.

I heard dope dealers were moving from Colorado (legal there, at least under State law) to NY, where it is still illegal and commands a much higher price...

We live in interesting times. If nothing else, there should be some idea of the local consequences of legalization in the areas it has been legalized, and the spin off (and unintentional) effects on other areas.

My rural part of Virginia has de facto decriminalization. Having pot or paraphernalia can get you arrested but rarely does. Usually these are kids in cars and are asked to snitch but mostly sent on their way. It seems that possession is a law that few want to enforce anymore.

While I lean libertarian on the WOsD, I get very confused by the liberl hypocracy between marijuana and tobacco. After thinking about it for a bit, I have concluded that marijuana is to America as we slide into Tyranny what vodka was to the residents of the USSR while they wallowed in tyranny.

A drunk or stoned public cares little about fighting back.
