“another weed thread amongst people who say they want less government in their lives”

Hey, pot is being legalized. Isn’t that resulting in less government?

Always should have been left to the States. Feds have no role.

I think you know legalized pot results in MORE government. You've seen the threads where underground (nontaxed) marijuana is cheaper (and stronger) than what you get at the dispensary. And so the State is cracking down on that. And so the War on Drugs continues.

And you definitely know the primary reason to legalize pot if for the tax revenue. And as the State collects more taxes, they do what? That's right - Spend more.

I could not tell if your comment about "less government" was sarcastic or facetious, but I thought I'd interject some relevant info on how that is not the case.
