Money will pour in for education and more for the children.
Plus having a legal supply will dry up all the illegal dealers/ or perhaps not.

In high school, you could just about always see the change when someone started using cannabis, it was a sudden and dramatic change.
“ cannabis use disorder.”
Why cant they just say “addiction.”
Thats what it is.
Since the 60s I’ve known weed as a dropout drug. I saw it in college, as a parole officer and as a HS teacher/coach.
My beautiful, brilliant son destroyed his mind with marijuana. It is not harmless and it should not be legal.
Have seen many a pothead in my time.
Not a one of them had ambition, or were successful in life.
At all.
Y’all shouldn’t watch “Reefer Madness”. Probably take it for a documentary from some of these replies. Jiminy Christmas. Yet another example that republicrats LOVE big government, as long as it’s THEIR big government.
At least one half of USA adults who commit suicide are addicted to alcohol and-or recreational drugs.
Marijuana is a gateway drug - just like wine and beer are gateway drugs.
If marijuana is banned, a large percentage of teenagers will just switch to wine and beer.
If marijuana is banned because of addiction risk, then wine and beer need to be banned, too.
They have new ways to smoke it as well, take a look.

Highly recommend everyone taking up all of your children’s and grand kid’s time. Church, sports, activities, weekend outings. If you don’t take up their time... some else will. Having roamed California as a latch key kid... I am lucky to be alive.
“cannabis use is implicated in 30% of cases of schizophrenia among men aged 18 to 30.”
Got to ask, what about the other 70%?
These statistical correlation studies only show the mentally ill are more likely to self medicate and become addicts. Twin studies have shown no measurable differences among twins from even the heaviest cannabis abuse.
Alcohol abuse was actually shown to create direct structural changes in the brain in this twin study while cannabis abuse did not. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33726938/
The correlation of mental illness to tobacco is actually FAR stronger than cannabis yet few are claiming it MAY cause mental illness like these reefer madness rags. 80% of schizos smoke cigarettes versus 12% of general population. Far greater than this 30% cited for cannabis.
Drugs like pot messed up some of my relatives.
But so did crummy parents, and professional modeling, so...
It is obviously not a harmless weed. Maybe if potency was like it was 40 years of that may have been true, but not now.
Impossible! Pot is a harmless drug.
it has no effects on mentation...so I'm told....
I knew it was a mistake to legalize it or decriminalize it....
but like the scamdemic and the poisonous vaxx, people just do not really think...
And, who didn’t really know that pot was bad? All along. But, all the dope fiends wanted their fix, no matter what it did to the people all around them. I have people tell me all the time that pot is not addictive, and then when I say,”Good! Then you will have no problem putting the stuff down for the next 12 months!”, it is like panic city in their eyes.
“What, a whole year without my dope???”
Stupic, frigging dope fiends!!!
I dabbled a bit in college, but soon I began to notice that everyday potheads were some of the most useless & annoying assholes around. And I just didn’t want to be among them.
