If you have a pot shop in your small town, then it's coming your way. I hadn't been to Colorado in decades until I went last year. The pot shops have drastically changed the landscape. I've never been panhandled so much as when I was going through Colorado - even in the small towns. Wherever you saw a pot shop, you also saw a whole new group of panhandlers. The criminals won't be far behind.
Hmmm, when I went to the pot shop, there wasn’t a single panhandler.
I was probably just in the wrong place.
Hmm. I live in a small town and I don’t see that here. Maybe I missed it. Or it could be the political problem in Denver, where most of this is escalating. You think?

Not so here in Jacksonville, Florida.
I visit a medical cannabis dispensary multiple times a month & have never seen a single panhandler anywhere near the store. No vagrants, no loiterers either. Just patients coming & going.
