Legal MJ in CA is so costly and over-regulated it is just about as easy to buy the illegal stuff.

The liberaltarians used to say ‘legalize and tax the hell out of it’ and now it’s more like ‘make it as cheap as possible. If it feels good do it is about all they have now.

Um, of course not - not that this has any clear relevance to the article.

I smoked and inhaled 50 years ago, but never stayed with it. Just not my thing, legal or not. I can’t imagine there being a positive to legalizing it.

Luck of the draw, if you like to gamble.
