Industries with the formation of its first self-regulatory organization.
Looks like a good time to invest in tobacco company stocks they are already geared up for the move mom and pop stoner shops will go bust.

Many of these same proponents WANT to settle for less freedom

The policy of "you may legally sell, buy, or possess marijuana, but only under the following conditions" is be definition MORE free than "you may legally sell, buy, or possess marijuana NEVER."

and more new taxes.

Jail is the ultimate tax.

There’s got to be a reason why the drug has been illegal for so long. And yeah, freedom is not a black and white issue. Enjoy the regulation and taxation to what is currently an unregulated and non taxed item in most states. It’s like the difference between two women I know. The 1st raised her kid with a message of abstinence, the 2nd went for providing the child with birth control pills. Which one was the conservative and which the liberal? Knowing that people are most likely going to engage in an activity that isn’t good for them do you show due diligence by explaining why they shouldn’t or just throw your hands in the air and say have at it, here’s something to facilitate the deed.

I believe addiction to the use of substances and alcohol might be a major problem in the very leadership of this nation and way beyond.

So should we ban alcohol?

Blind trust in government is not a conservative position.

Knowing that people are most likely going to engage in an activity that isn’t good for them do you show due diligence by explaining why they shouldn’t or just throw your hands in the air and say have at it, here’s something to facilitate the deed.

A conservative does the former while NOT banning it just because it "isn’t good for them." And for government cease criminalizing an activity is NOT to "facilitate" it; getting drunk and overeating are legal.

I hate to have to break it to you, but this nation already has marijuana: millions have been using it, and that's been the case for decades.

I’d rather have legal, regulated pot production than the money go to drug cartels.

Trump ain’t gonna legalize weed

I love my cocktail & my glass of wine, but I also have seen the damage out of control drinking has done to people I love. I also was brought up by parents, old hippies who got high w/ their friends & my dad......RIP..... was known for his hash brownies. I have been around really drunk people & it has been painful. I need to confront one of my oldest friends over her drinking which has really escalated & is causing her many social problems.

My thoughts,legalize pot already.

I need more coffee and to clean my glasses.

I read half the story and was not even the least bit surprised that the National Association of Cannibal Businesses was gearing up for its big business debut.

Change Cannabis to Cannibal and have some fun with me this morning!!
