I haven’t recently read anything about the downsides to state legalization of weed.

What changed Oregon’s mind? What were the problems?

Here in FL, legalized weed is up for popular referendum as a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT this November.

I fear it will pass and be out of reach from our legislature.

Weed is still legal in Oregon. I’ve lived here most of my life, and the decriminalization process was a decades-long thing...very gradual. There was a bit of publicly visible use at my local fishing spot, post-legalization....rednecks and the elderly included. Minors were the only ones still hiding it.

Florida may have recourse through the courts, if the initiative petition has problems. Otherwise....

It was the other drugs that were decriminalized that posed a problem...go figure The legislature acted to repeal.

The same election in which that abomination passed, a measure containing draconian gun restrictions also passed. The courts eventually bounced that one, but it was telling (not that I needed telling) that our Governor and AG were good with it, and fought for it.
