“Well, I, uh, don’t think it’s quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir.”

The point being that the article attempts to demonize legal cannabis. What you are discussing is legal cannabis. This is not a result of legal cannabis. That is the black market, which only gets stronger when prohibition exists, and I daresay the illegal street corner dealer WILL NOT be checking your kids ID when they purchase from him.

I daresay the illegal street corner dealer WILL NOT be charging all the taxes when they purchase from him.

At the same time, the state-approved dealers will be flogging a similar product on local billboards/print/tv.

Difficult to differentiate between the two; except for the price.
The defunded coppers are going to force the market to state control? Right?

The state never wins this game; see 18th Amendment.

As opposed to the legal market getting even stronger for a product that is proven destructive, until all of society is awash in it?
