—”Yet another example that republicrats LOVE big government, as long as it’s THEIR big government.”

Rest assured, the legalization of marijuana is clearly an expansion of big government.

Mostly supported by the left, yes there are conservatives that would legalize anything that might grow in the garden including psychedelic mushrooms. Believing that which governs least...

That said the costs to society are massive and long-term far outweighing any short-term gains.

How much did the government grow during alcohol prohibition?

Local community got a brand new state of the art fire/police 911 center here in town thanks to pot taxes. A very small community up the road just replaced a 60 year old school with pot taxes. I'm curious, can you name these "massive and long term costs"? Or we just making generalizations here?
