Here is what you REALLY need to know.

1) It wont bring in the money that was projected
2) Drug addiction WILL go up
3) Teens will start earlier using drugs
4) Other overdoses will increase putting a strain on the ER hospitals, EMT and police services.
5) Related crimes will increase - homelessness, prostitution, assaults, robberies, etc.
6) areas around pot shops and grow houses will stink ... alot

What kills me is that potheads are generally the same people who would scream in public if someone smoked a cigarette within 200 feet of them.

1) It wont bring in the money that was projected

Yeah over a billion since 2014 and it's doled out by a grant process.

3) Teens will start earlier using drugs

Yeah, a gateway drug. I know a guy that's been smoking close to 50 years and he's wondering when he's going to get that itch to try heroin or fetanyl because right now he wouldn't touch them

In 1973 kids were smoking pot in my Junior High.

Do you really think they are going to start that much sooner?

[jmacusa]

So let's bring back alcohol prohibition. That was a sterling success, wasn't it?

[Osage Orange]

Ditto all that!!
