Government is the greediest, most corrupt/incompetent and murderous force on Earth.

RE: The government couldn’t keep a whorehouse in business.

You mean in addition to the US Capitol?

They don’t use the term Madame Speaker Pelosi for nothing. And they say “send this budget memo over to the House.”

True.

And it has a negative side, too.

(Paraphrase of Hunter S. Thompson ——
“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.”

Legal pot got taxed and regulated to over $5 a gram of pot.

Illegal pot took the much better legal pot strains and sells for under $15 a gram.

Only the government is dumb enough to lose money selling pot.

The goal was never to be a viable industry.

The first part of the con was the state selling dispensary licenses (a piece of paper) for thousands upon thousands in order to raise millions of dollars.

The second part of the con was that these dispensaries would never be able to compete with illegal dealers. Without probable cause for law enforcement to stop motorists and pedestrians chooming along in a cloud of smoke, users can buy cheaper illegal weed.

Could it be that there was money in illegal weed because of the risk involved?

— “Two thirds of cities remain without dispensaries”

Let's wait for the Obamas to complain of a “pot desert....” Must be white supremacy, toxic masculinity, equity problems and a touch of climate change, or in the case of an ex-president, “chump change.”

Let them all go out of business, get looted, and close. This is a bad Experiment that is bad for society.

In your opinion only. Get government out of it. See how quick it comes back. Of course, self righteous "Conservatives" LOVE that big gubmint, so long as it's THEIR big gubmint.
