Good point. We need a legal pot industry, like the alcohol industry. For some reason people find it hard to make that mental leap - the idea of weed behind the counter at the convenience store is jarring. But nothing would change, apart from a strangling of organised crime. We need to grow up and get our priorities straight. If you’re going to decriminalize pot to that extent then the reasonable thing to do is go the whole hog and properly legalize it. It’s not as if California couldn’t do with the revenue. (Incidentally I’m not sure if legalization is prohibited by any federal laws, feel free to enlighten me)
That is total bullshiite... It should be as legal to grow in your garden like a tomato or any other vegetable...
"Legalize" = lots of blood sucking lawyers and government regulators sniffing around looking for new ways to tax people...
Like tobacco and alcohol taxes, it is another way to do social engineering by government decree.
More taxes? Are you nuts?
