Are you so clueless as to predict disaster and not see that crime is down over the period that California defacto legalized it?

Neighbor complaints are anecdotal not evidence that crime is up due to pot shops.

Crime is down in California over the same time period that defacto legalization happened.

But some neighbors made complaints!!!!!

Delusional!

“Delusional!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You certainly are.

From that Heritage Foundation article....

Amsterdam’s experience is already being duplicated in California under the current medical marijuana statute. In Los Angeles, police report that areas surrounding cannabis clubs have experienced a 200 percent increase in robberies, a 52.2 percent increase in burglaries, a 57.1 percent increase in aggravated assault, and a 130.8 percent increase in burglaries from automobiles. Current law requires a doctor’s prescription to procure marijuana; full legalization would likely spark an even more acute increase in crime.
