“Legalization is just working so well here in Washington.”
I remember some of the insights that you provided before, from the Washington State experience with legalized marijuana - increased crime rates around marijuana stores, and more derelicts and mental cases.
Looks like NY State and Virginia may legalize recreational use this year as well, in addition to Vermont, Massachusetts and New Jersey. It will become the norm in the Northeast Corridor.
Legalized Marijuana is just one of the more glaring signs of an area in complete societal decline. It is very amusing to me that we have those here who try to argue that legalization goes hand in hand with conservative ideals when it is always the most leftist areas in the country who want to do this. It goes hand in had with defunding the police, universal goverment income for all, abortion “rights” and every other slime bag idea in the leftist agenda.
And then there is the argument that legalization will not increase consumption. Marijuana in this state is now a larger “industry” than alcohol and tobacco combined. During the continuing shutdowns marijuana was declared an essential industry by our governor Dimsley, so while construction workers were losing their jobs... Marijuana “workers” had no worries. This place has always turned a blind eye to marijuana, but in the last few years it has gone crazy.
