It’s pragmatic at this point. Even if I never smoke it again, it makes more sense to tax and regulate it versus what we are doing now.
I would rather the money go to the treasury legitimately rather than go to cartels, organized crime and crooked cops and politicians.
i am bothered more by the societal impact of even more people doping up, like we need more mind altering substances to screw up an already screwed up populace. and there will be people who are law abiding who will do it if it’s legal who weren’t before, so it can’t help but cause a greater proliferation. For Gods sake, people just need to grow up, man up, buckle down and fly right, instead of looking for ways to tune out and abdicate responsibility.
