The thing I like best about it is that it completely defunds the cartels and all their employees all the way down to the street dealers.
They have been reaping great profits for generations, now they get nothing and they are not happy about it.
I have a suspicion that the cartels are the ones running these ridicules stories.
BS. It institutionalizes self destructive habits and dependency. Now instead of paying the cartel, your paying the state. Institutions that are supposed to be acting in public interest are acting in their own corrupt interest. The cartel is now your government.
Some people are always going to do immoral things. Prostitution, drugs, crime are all immoral and destructive. Just because they are made legal doesn't change that.
That is naive.
