All well and good, but what will you do with all of the chronically unemployed who won't pass the drug tests. I assume employers will still have the right to fire or not hire users.

I almost put on that post that Trump could wait until he had restored the jobs. But you're right, they won't be able to hold down a job. And will probably end up back in jail for crimes related to being underemployed, trying to steal to buy pot, or for being bi-polar.

But we are easing towards that anyway. We've lost 4 states and DC. Unemployment will be cheaper than prison.

I don't like the idea that legalization sounds like condonment. But if Trump does use the money for education, then maybe there's a better way.

Time to try something different. We can always go back to locking them all up if it doesn't work.
