Happily for me, though, my lovely wife divorced her ex-husband in large part because marijuana destroyed his motivation to do anything.
So I win that one!
Cartels gives Senate committee a wink new path ensues

Do not worry/... I do not expect you to bother to follow any of the following links. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/01/06/marijuana-induced-psychosis-rises-mental-health-treatment-elusive/2698446001/

Forbes reports in the following article that pot consumption among users has increased 91% since the “pandemic” began.
As far as the number of schizophrenic young homeless men living on the streets in this area... it has gone up dramatically. We now have tent cities and even a new “tiny house” facility built about a mile and a half from our home in Tacoma. The use of marijuana among the “homeless” here appears to be 90% or more. That is from personal contact and reports from my coworkers.
Here is an article from 2017 about Colorado... as you are well aware things have gotten exponentially worse since then.

True, decriminalization of use benefits the cartels because it preserves their monopoly; legalization is a completely different story (and it's said to be on the way in LA).
Agree it gives them a new path for all their other drugs to enter the country they know who has a price and they have the money.
You lose, twice. I read your first link, which says, "Whether marijuana is the cause or the self-prescribed cure" - that is, it explicitly declines to support the claim that pot causes mental illness.
Since the first bite of your sandwich was ****, I decline to take any further bites. Let me know when you've read your links carefully and removed the irrelevant ones.
Noblefree will be along in a momemt to tell you your actual experience is as if you are “smoking dope”.
- Tacoman.
No, neither decrimninalization nor legalization does that; on the contrary, legalization increases their competition and does so with product that doesn't cross any border.
Would you please repost that in English? Thanks!
Per the fireman (apparently a fellow Tacoman), enjoy the people poop in your front yard!
Keep telling yourself “everything is fine!” while you scoop.
People poop in my front yard is just your baseless fantasy.
My wife has had to adjust her bike commute so many times because of homeless encampments in front of other people’s houses, we can’t count.
My Airborne Sniper neighbor and I can take care of ouselves as necessary. Though they do steal anything not nailed down.
A set of dopers squatted two doors down for a month until they were spotted. Cops wouldn’t do anything. Homeowner resorted to, ah, “alternative means.”
All hail decriminalization! Coming to your street soon!
See?
Reading comprehension is the first thing to go.
It’s all downhill from there. What bad thing happens next? The man out to getcha? ALIENS!
“Crews on previous clearings of unsanctioned encampments found garbage and human waste. Strickland said the conditions created a health hazard both for the people in the encampments and for the surrounding residences and businesses.”

Reading comprehension is the first thing to go.
I've seen no reports such as yours from red state Alaska, which legalized in 2014. (Nor do I expect any such from legalizing red states Montana or South Dakota.)
You have both a reading comprehension and an attention span problem. The third paragraph in the first link that I included said, “As marijuana increasingly becomes legalized, parents of children who make up the mounting cases of cannabis-induced psychosis and other mental illness say treatment is far less available than the pot they say is linked to the conditions.”
AS I said: Let me know when you've read your links carefully and removed the irrelevant ones.
There is no competition with the cartels states have lost their ass trying to compete with them they own the drug markets 100%.
They own more people to do what ever they want and when they want.
False. Legal marijuana sales are $10.8B (https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/01/25/the-10-top-selling-cannabis-states-in-2020.aspx) for states making up less than 36% of the U.S. population (https://www.infoplease.com/us/states/state-population-by-rank), whereas nationwide annual illegal sales of marijuana are $41B (https://www.rand.org/news/press/2019/08/20.html).
If you think these stats are wrong, post links to better ones.
