I wonder if something like what I call the “Amsterdam effect” may apply here: By legalizing MJ while it’s still technically illegal in most other states, you become a magnet for people whose primary goal in life is “smoking some heady nugs” - which is to say people who are not particularly desirable. You know the types, the ones who think the world owes them a living, and all the dope they can smoke, too. Not representative of most pot smokers (most of whom you’d never know that they smoke, because they’re not hanging around on the sidewalk with their dreadlocks and their dogs, reeking of weed.
