I’m neutral on legalization, I think anything Soros is for he has a bad reason for. I also think people throw around a lot of misinformation in the name of their pet project.
The legalization argument can go nowhere until some honesty is brought into it.
For instance the fantasy that it will create all this new tax revenue. That’s a joke because there are already unions getting involved who will immediately soak up any potential tax revenue. There will be a whole range of new laws that will arise to deal with marijuana which will be the true source of revenue. The prices will be driven so high that people will immediately return to illegal sources.
Better to keep it illegal for all but legitimate medical uses and lessen the penalties for possesion. A $50 ticket is far more reasonable than court dates and possible jail sentence.
