Going by the experiance of my state, Nevada.
When the Gov. Org. taxes and regulates dope it gets even more expensive, so the illegal dope still thrives.
Including for local consumption.
The Hemp growers have to guard their “0” THC crops so that the genius dopers do not steal them.
“Yes, let’s ... 21 states legalize medical but not recreational marijuana”.
For now, but the “Recreational” dope is still a cartainty in the next too few years.
Watch for out of state pushers to buy off the legislatures, via “Initiative” $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ if necessary.
I have seen ZERO benifit to legal dope, but a great increase in the number of lazy dopers/casual thieves/gimme-’dat’s.
D’s now control our formerlyu very conservative state.
