Contrary to political rhetoric, Mexican-style cartel killings and gun battles appear to have already reached the U.S. and are spreading — particularly in California.

My parents nearly lost their house when some potheads smoked up and decided that lighting bits of paper on fire would be a hoot. In drought-stricken California. The resulting forest fire caused at least $1 million in property damage and the idiots had to be rescued from the consequences of their own actions at taxpayer expense. At least the alcohol companies are honest about the risks involved.

My problem is not so much with legalization as a) the way in which it was implemented here in CA (e.g. no way to test for DUI, high taxes which ensure the continuation of a black market) and b) the lies the left puts about to make weed seem safer than it actually is.
Two can play that game. Go read about Los Pepes in Colombia.

Mexican Cartel-Style Violence Spreading in California
Why not there’s no border or manpower to stop them all thanks to JOE BIDEN.
I thought we were told that legalization would reduce this kind of behavior - how *shocking* it achieved entirely the opposite. < / s >
